Fulham’s recent form at home in the Premier League has been impressive, securing four wins in their last five matches at Craven Cottage. Conversely, Everton’s performance has been lacklustre, with only a single victory in their last eight matches across all competitions. Notably, Everton hasn’t won in their last five encounters against Fulham, losing three of these matches.
Fulham’s Resilience Post Cup Disappointments Fulham has had a challenging week, suffering a narrow aggregate defeat of 3-2 against Liverpool in the EFL Cup semi-finals, followed by a 2-0 home loss to Newcastle in the FA Cup fourth round. Despite these setbacks, Fulham’s home record remains strong. They have delivered commanding performances, including 5-0 victories over Nottingham Forest and West Ham, and a 2-1 win against Arsenal.
Their recent history against Everton is also encouraging, with an unbeaten streak in the last five meetings, including a 1-0 victory at Goodison Park in August and a win in the EFL Cup pre-Christmas. Marco Silva’s team will be confident about maintaining their form against the Toffees.
Everton’s Struggles Continue Everton’s fortunes took a downturn following their EFL Cup exit to Fulham, with only one win in their last eight matches. Their recent FA Cup defeat, a 2-1 loss to Luton marked by a late goal, adds to their challenges. Given Fulham’s strong home performance, Everton could be facing another 2-1 defeat, mirroring Fulham’s previous successes against Arsenal and Norwich at Craven Cottage.
De Cordova-Reid as a Pivotal Player Fulham’s decision to sell Aleksandar Mitrovic has led to a more diversified scoring approach within the team. Bobby De Cordova-Reid, one of their top scorers with five goals, has been a significant contributor. His impactful performances include goals against Arsenal in the league and Rotherham in the FA Cup. His track record against Everton, scoring in both the recent match at Goodison Park and a previous 3-2 defeat at home, suggests he could play a crucial role in this upcoming match.
