Everton v Fulham

🏆
Competition: Premier League
📺
Watch Live: Sky Sports Main Event
In-form Everton will look to extend their current unbeaten run to five Premier League matches on Saturday as they get set to entertain Fulham at Goodison Park. However, there is a neat subplot going into this game, one that sees Marco Silva return to the home of his former employer.

It is fair to say that Everton and Fulham have contrasting form at the moment. The Toffees are currently four unbeaten in the Premier League, and the Cottagers have lost each of their last two in the same competition.
Everton’s home form played a key part in their staying up last season; it will have to do the same again this. Add that Saturday’s hosts have scored an average of 1.12 goals per game and the visitors 1.38, and it suggests that a total of four at most is not something that will be breached at Goodison.

🔍 Everton v Fulham Players to Watch
🔵 Dwight McNeil
Dwight McNeil’s contribution to Everton’s resurgence should not be understated and with the former Burnley forward having scored three goals this season, he is quickly becoming one of Sean Dyche’s first names on the teamsheet.
Especially as the 24-year-old has also made three Premier League goals this season and this is where the value is found in Saturday’s score or assist market. With 0.75 shots on target per game since the start of the campaign, his ability to create and attempt could well be the difference against Fulham.

⚪️ Kenny Tete
Although Fulham can be considered to be easy on the eye, they are not afraid to get stuck when it matters with an average of 3.0 league yellow cards this season. Two of their 24 in total have been awarded to defender Kenny Tete.
This is why Tete has caught our attention regarding the fouls market on Saturday. The Dutch right-back has given away an average of 1.50 fouls per game while also being fouled an average of 1.12, so he is no stranger to discussing discipline with the referee.

🔵 Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Although Dwight McNeil is leading the Everton scoring charts at present, Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s contribution should not be ignored. Two goals to his name since the start of the campaign and an xG of 3.86 to go with it.
Not only has he scored a pair of league goals but the 27-year-old is averaging 1.12 shots on target across his first eight appearances of the season. He may not have scored in any of his last four in the league but he is still peppering the opposition goal with chances and that is all we need here.

💻 Everton v Fulham Form and Tactics
After losing their first four Premier League games of the season, Everton have since gone unbeaten in the four that have followed. Of the last 12 points on offer, Sean Dyche’s men have picked up eight of them. In addition, they have conceded just two goals across the same four-game sample.
Last weekend saw the Toffees win at Ipswich and they did so with manager Dyche setting his starting eleven up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. That formation sees Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the furthest point but it also allows Dwight McNeil the opportunity to roam forward and link up any attacking play.
Fulham have suffered losses on either side of the international break and these two defeats ended a five-game league unbeaten run. Marco Silva’s men have parity when it comes to goals for and against in the Premier League with 11 this season – an average of 1.38 per game.
The Cottagers’ preferred shape is also a 4-2-3-1 formation, and this tactic has brought out the best in Raul Jimenez in recent weeks. The former Wolves forward has already scored four goals this season, and with a current xG of 4.19, there is only slight underperformance at present.
