Everton travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham on Tuesday night for a clash between two sides in the wrong half of the Premier League table.
Both teams also suffered FA Cup exits over the weekend and will be looking to bounce back in the 7:45pm kick off. So, what can we expect from the match in West London?
The last time the two side met was in the League Cup at Goodison Park on 19 December. The game ended 1-1 after 90 minutes, but Fulham would end up winning on penalties. The Toffee’s have only travelled to Craven Cottage three time since 2019, with one win, one loss and a draw. In their last five meetings, Everton have only managed a single draw, alongside four defeats.
Fulham will be missing key players, Calving Bassey, Fode Ballo-Toure and most noticeably former Toffees winger Alex Iwobi, who are all away representing their countries at the African Cup Of Nations. Adama Traore is also missing, out injured.
Toffee’s response to FA Cup defeat
Everton come into the game off the back of an FA Cup defeat to relegation-threatened Luton. The Toffees have a lot of making up to do after their recent form, which sees them sit 17th in the league table following a ten points deduction. They missed numerous chances in that loss to the Hatters and will need to be more clinical.
