Everton Prediction
The Toffees are barely holding on as the schedule winds down.
The midseason return of manager David Moyes provided a spark and the team managed to win four games and draw 2-2 with Liverpool in their first six matches under Moyes. Unfortunately, that fizzled out quickly and Everton has only won once in the past 10 games.
Sustaining leads has been a problem as Everton became the first Premier League team in over a decade to lead by two or more goals on four separate occasions without winning one of those matches.
Some good news: Under Moyes, they have gathered more points (1.57) on the road than at home (1.38), and they are visiting Craven Cottage today.
Additionally, striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has recovered from an injury and could start today.
Fulham Prediction
Fulham isn't doing great, either. They have won twice in their past six matches and lost the other four.
Their ambition, however, is bigger. If they finish in eighth place and Manchester City wins the FA Cup, Fulham could qualify for next year's Conference League.
They are two points away from that position, and Everton is their weakest rival in these final three fixtures. Also, Fulham is unbeaten in their past seven games against Everton.
Manager Marco Silva will face his former club and is nearly without changes in his squad, except for Harrison Reed, who will be out with a calf strain.
Left-back Antonee Robinson has been a highlight for Fulham this season. He will look to add to his tally of 10 assists, which is tied for third place among Premier League players.
Everton vs. Fulham Pick
Fulham has the desire to beat the struggling Toffees at home and needs this win to climb the stadings.
The past three matchups have ended in a draw and the total for those matchups was under 2.5 goals scored. However, the season is ending and Fulham has nothing to lose and a pretty good reward if it wins.
Everton, on the other hand, doesn't play under Sean Dyche anymore, so their track record of low scores is no longer a guarantee, particularly during this bad streak, when teams can erase any deficit against them.
This is a good opportunity for both teams to break the trend, take more risks and go for it.
