PREVIEW: Fulham host Everton in fight for European football | OneFootball

Fulham and Everton meet in a Saturday afternoon clash in West London between two sides hoping to push for European football.

There’s nothing to separate the sides going into the match, with both on 34 points and -1 goal difference. Fulham sit in ninth, ahead of the Toffees on goals scored.

Craven Cottage may get to see its latest arrival on Saturday, with Oscar Bobb potentially in line to make his Fulham debut following a £27m switch from Manchester City.

Speaking of wingers from Manchester City, Jack Grealish won’t be available for Everton for what could be the remainder of the season with surgery required on a foot injury. However, following late transfer window drama, Dwight McNeil has remained an Everton player and is available after Crystal Palace pulled the plug on a £20m move.

Everton managed a fairly routine 2-0 victory over Fulham in the reverse fixture at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in November, with Michael Keane and Idrissa Gueye on the scoresheet before the pair clashed at Old Trafford later that month.

Everton have become the 1-1 specialists in recent weeks, with four of their last five fixtures ending in that scoreline, although David Moyes will take pleasure in losing just one of their last seven Premier League fixtures.

Strikers Thierno Barry and Beto have come under criticism for their form earlier in the season, however the pair have taken the reins on converting for the Blues whilst key attackers Grealish, Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have been absent.

Both Ndiaye and Dewsbury-Hall returned to the line-up in the draw away at Brighton last weekend, giving a much needed boost to an attack failing to score more than one goal in a match since the 4-2 home loss to Brentford on January 4th.

As for the Cottagers, a last-minute goal by Benjamin Sesko denied Marco Silva’s side any points in their trip to Old Trafford – however they have gone five games unbeaten at home ahead of Everton’s visit.

Harry Wilson has been without doubt the highlight of Fulham’s season with eight goals and four assists leading the team in both categories, although the Welshman’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and Bobb’s arrival on the right flank may be a sign of bad news to come for supporters.

Rodrigo Muniz and Sasa Lukic are set to be unavailable for Silva, who himself has an expiring contract in June.
