Fulham have performed well on home turf this season, and their output at Craven Cottage has been a key reason for them battling in the top half of the table. However, the Cottagers have lost two of the last three matches, with their most recent defeat coming at Old Trafford. Fulham conceded in the 94th minute, and that will surely be a big blow for their confidence.

This matchup against Everton isn’t the easiest for them to bounce back, either. The Toffees have had the upper hand in this fixture lately, completing the league double over Fulham last season.

David Moyes’ men have been a difficult side to beat on their travels this term, and were able to steal a point from Brighton at the Amex last time out with a 97th minute goal from Beto. That extends their unbeaten run on the road to four games, and they will hope to build on that streak here.

Everton rank fifth for most Premier points taken on their travels this season, with a record of five wins, three draws and four losses. In those matches, the Toffees have scored 11 goals, and conceded 11 goals, averaging just 1.8 goals per game. Based on that, we could get a low-scoring encounter at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.

Everton tend to keep things tight on their travels, but they are still allowing their opponents to break into the final third. David Moyes’ men are conceding an average of 5.0 corners per game this season in the Premier League, rising to 5.5 when playing away.

If Everton can keep Fulham out, the hosts will have to maintain a front-footed approach, which would be an ideal gamestate to back corners. Fulham hit this line in both meetings against Everton last season, with five corners at Craven Cottage, and another five corners at Goodison Park.

Harry Wilson had a relatively quiet game against Man United at the weekend, but he did still manage to land this selection, forcing a save from Senne Lammens from a free-kick. The Welshman had one other shot, but that was blocked.

Wilson has been the primary threat for Fulham going forward this season, with eight Premier League goals from 23 appearances. The 28-year-old seems to play with more confidence on home turf, with six of those goals scored at Craven Cottage. In fact, he has found the back of the net in four successive appearances at home, scoring against the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, and Brighton.

He managed three shots with two on target in that game against the Seagulls, scoring the winning goal in stoppage time. Wilson is averaging 2.4 shots per 90 this season across all competitions, rising to 3.0 when playing at Craven Cottage.

James Tarkowski was fouled two times against Brighton last time out, meaning this selection has now landed in each of his last eight starts.

He has also drawn multiple infringements in six of those games, highlighting an upward trend. Tarkowski has been inviting a lot more contact recently, often using his body well to buy cheap free-kicks and release pressure on his side during sustained defensive spells.

He is averaging 1.1 fouls drawn per 90 for the season overall, with a notable increase in recent weeks. Tarkowski draws an excellent matchup to keep that streak going against Raul Jimenez this weekend. The Mexican international is averaging 1.9 fouls per 90 this season, rising to 2.3 when playing at home.

Jimenez enjoys a physical contest and should contest plenty of duels against Tarkowski. The Englishman was injured when these sides last met at Craven Cottage, but he was fouled once in the reverse fixture.
