Fulham vs Everton prediction: Alex Iwobi to star?
Key Stats
- Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi has 14 goal contributions in the Premier League this season (9 goals, 5 assists).
- Iwobi scored against his former employers in October's 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.
- The Nigerian international has scored two goals and provided two assists in his last five Premier League appearances.
Correct score prediction: Fulham 1-0 Everton
Fulham haven't lost any of their last seven matches against the Toffees and have managed to win seven of their 17 home games in the Premier League this season. Marco Sliva's men score an average of 1.53 goals per game at Craven Cottage but Everton only concede an average of 1.18 goals per away game, which is why we've backed a 1-0 correct score prediction in the hosts' favour.

Fulham preview: Narrowly beaten at Villa Park
Fulham gave a decent account of themselves away against Aston Villa last time out but an early goal from Youri Tielemans proved enough for the hosts to claim all three points.
The Cottagers had 48% of the overall possession and managed 11 shots to Aston Villa's ten with both teams hitting the target on three occasions, but Fulham picked up five yellow cards and their hosts avoided any bookings.
Reiss Nelson, Rodrigo Muniz and Harrison Reed make up the trio of players that look set to miss the Everton game this weekend due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Leno (GK), Tete, Andersen, Robinson, Bassey, Lukic, Wilson, Berge, Sessegnon, Jimenez & Iwobi

Everton preview: Failed to beat relegated Ipswich
Despite establishing a two-goal lead in their penultimate game at Goodison Park against an already relegated Ipswich Twon side, Everton somehow ended up only drawing the game.
Beto headed the hosts in front in the 26th minute and Dwight McNeil made it 2-0 nine minutes later and is now the outright top Premier League goalscorer to have scored 100% of his goals with his left foot, overtaking Stuart Pearce's previous record of 20. However, on-loan Brighton youngster Julio Enciso scored an absolute worldy shortly before the break to get Ipswich back into the game and the Tractor Boys completed their comeback in the 79th minute to make the final scoreline 2-2.
David Moyes will be hoping to see Abdoulaye Doucoure return to the squad this weekend but will be without the injured Orel Mangala, James Tarkowski and Jesper Lindstrom.
Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), Mykolenko, Patterson, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Gueye, Garner, Alcaraz, McNeil, Beto & Ndiaye

Player to watch: Alex Iwobi
Alex Iwobi has proven to be an excellent signing for Fulham and his second season with the Cottagers has proven even more successful than his first.
Iwobi will be going up against one of his former employers this weekend and the last time he faced Everton, back in October, he opened the scoring for Fulham in what ended up being a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.
Will Iwobi punish his former employers?
The Nigerian international has nine goals and five assists to his name this season and we're backing the former Arsenal prodigy to add to his goal contributions this weekend.
