Fulham host Everton at Craven Cottage on Saturday while aiming to return to winning ways in front of their home supporters.
The Cottagers have moved back to West London following a narrow 3–2 defeat at Old Trafford. Manager Marco Silva oversees a side that currently sits 9th in the table, level on points with their opponents today. Fulham have been dominant at home recently, winning their last two matches at the Cottage. A victory today would not only leapfrog the Toffees but also strengthen their push toward a potential European qualification spot.
Marco Silva manages a squad missing its primary creative anchor. Notably, Saša Lukić is ruled out with a hamstring injury, forcing Alex Iwobi to continue in a deeper role alongside Sander Berge. New signing Oscar Bobb also remains unavailable as he recovers from a persistent thigh issue. Consequently, Harry Wilson is expected to provide the spark from the wing. Wilson leads the team with eight goals and five match-winning strikes this campaign.
Bernd Leno will start in goal behind a defensive line that sees Kenny Tete return to the starting XI. Joachim Andersen and Jorge Cuenca will provide the central shield. In attack, Raúl Jiménez is poised to lead the line after scoring his 12th consecutive penalty last weekend. He will be supported by Emile Smith Rowe and Samuel Chukwueze, the latter of whom has registered four assists this season.
Fulham predicted XI: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Cuenca, Robinson; Iwobi, Berge; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Chukwueze; Jimenez
