Everton are looking for another giant push further away from the relegation zone when they meet with Fulham at Goodison Park as Marco Silva’s men look to move on from their poor form of late that has crushed their European hopes.
It did look as if Fulham would end up battling for a spot in the Europa League or Europa Conference League this season, but with four losses in a row in the league and five in all competitions, the Cottagers are down in 10th and also out of the FA Cup at the quarter-finals stage to Manchester United.

Fulham have lost to Arsenal 3-0, Brentford 3-2 and Bournemouth 2-1 in the past few weeks and were beaten at home to West Ham United last time out in the Premier League after Harrison Reed scored an unfortunate own goal in the first half.
Combine this with a draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of February and it means it’s been two months now since Fulham last won in the league.
As for Everton, they lost to United last time out and they have now not won in a month after drawing with Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. It keeps the Goodison Park faithful on edge with them now down in 17th and out of the drop zone by only goals difference.
Everton’s fight down at the bottom has been coupled with a bunch of injuries they are having to deal with too. Seamus Coleman is the latest worry about coming off injured against United, and he will face a late fitness test before this one.
Abdoulaye Doucoure is suspended for the game too and Ruben Vinagre is set to miss this one as well it seems with a calf injury.
Andros Townsend remains out for the season and the injury woes for Dominic Calvert-Lewin are continuing with him set to miss yet another game with a thigh injury.
Fulham are a little lighter on the injury front but Layvin Kurzawa is set to miss the game with his knee injury picked up in early March and he is likely not going to play in April at all.
Neeskens Kebano is out for the season still and Aleksandar Mitrovic’s eight-game ban will run for six more games and he won’t return until early May.
Forebet predicts a win here for Everton and for the game to see over 2.5 goals once more.
