On May 10, Craven Cottage hosts a no-stakes slugfest as mid-table warriors Fulham and Everton clash—relegation dodged, pride on the line, and nothing but a strong finish to fight for. Fulham will look to capitalize on home advantage while Everton will hope to sort out their problems when travelling away from Goodison Park. With both teams capable teams and extremely well drilled, expect a tough game between two good sides at Premier League level.
Fulham vs Everton Form Guide
Fulham
Fulham have found a rhythm in midfield control and quick transitions, with Iwobi and Lukic often orchestrating play. Raul Jiménez continues to be their biggest threat up front, linking well with wingers like Wilson. Defensively, Bassey and Robinson have offered solid coverage on the flanks. Leno’s leadership in goal has been crucial in tight games.
Everton
Everton depend a lot on physicality and structure. They have key anchors in Gueye and Garner, with Beto providing headaches for defenders, though he has had limited service. McNeil gives them some creativity out wide and Pickford is arguably their most consistent performer. Injuries have forced the team to shuffle its pieces but they have remained competitive in tight matches.

Fulham vs Everton Key Battles
Raul Jiménez vs Beto
Jiménez, Fulham’s top scorer with 10 goals, brings experience and clinical finishing to the frontline. His ability to drop deep and link play will test Everton’s central defense. Beto, with 7 goals, leads Everton’s attack with power and movement. The battle between these forwards may decide who gets the upper hand in this clash.
Alex Iwobi vs Dwight McNeil
This season, Iwobi has had a hand in 15 goals, showing vision and driving runs from the midfield area. The partnership with Jiménez has often been a point of attack in Fulham’s offensive setup. McNeil has 8 goal contributions and has been a similar type of player for Everton with his crossing and cut runs.
Fulham vs Fulham Tactical Outlook
Fulham favor possession-based football with quick transitions through the midfield. Their full-backs often overlap, adding width to stretch opposition lines. The midfield pivot of Lukic and Berge balances creativity and defensive cover. They rely on compact pressing to win the ball high up the pitch.
Everton are setup to defend with a structure and quickly press on transitions. Gueye and Garner (experience) provide the steel in front of the back four and let the wide players go beyond them – gaining confidence each game. If Pickford is initiating the distribution, they can bypass the midfield line and find Beto quickly. Everton likely drop deep and seek to exploit Fulham on the transition.
Head-to-Head Encounters
Fulham and Everton have recently had a fairly even experience with their matchups, with Fulham managing a narrow win away from home at Goodison Park in the last matchup. While Everton have, of course, had the historical advantage in this rivalry, Fulham have managed to win the last two meetings at home. This rivalry is leveling out further and they seem to be very evenly matched, especially when meeting at home at Craven Cottage.
Injury News and Suspensions
Fulham
Andreas Pereira is doubtful with a knock and may miss the match. Reed’s calf keeps him benched till mid-May, while Nelson’s hamstring still plays the guessing game. Rodrigo Muniz is recovering from a knock and may not feature until late May.
Everton
Abdoulaye Doucouré is doubtful due to personal reasons and may miss the clash. James Tarkowski is ruled out with a hamstring injury until mid-July. Jesper Lindstrøm is nursing a groin issue and won’t return before August. Orel Mangala is out long-term with a cruciate ligament injury.
