Fulham is coming into this match not playing in good form in their recent matches. They have lost 3 of their last 4 matches with no wins in that span. Their attack has not been good in these matches either as they have scored just 1 goal in their last 3 matches. They are going up against an Everton side that has not been in good form in their recent matches either but they do have 1 win in their last 2 matches. Everton was in great form up until the end of December when the condensed schedule started to get to them and they lost 4 straight matches. They also had a very tough stretch in that span with matches against Tottenham, Man City, and the Wolves. Since then, they only have 1 loss in their last 4 matches as they have been in much better form, their defense keeping 3 clean sheets in those 4 matches, and they are actually coming off of that 1 loss in their last match as they lost 2-1 at home to Luton Town in the FA Cup. Everton is going to be hungry to bounce back now that they have been in better form and they have some extra incentive here since Fulham was the team to kick them out of the Carabao Cup at home back in December. Everton is also dealing with a points deduction so they need to take advantage of every opportunity they have to win to avoid relegation and even though they sit 7 points behind Fulham and are on the cusp of the relegation zone, they actually have a better record than Fulham for the season with more wins and less losses. Everton is the better team here and they will lift themselves up with another win here. Everton will win this match and collect all 3 points here.
