Everton eyeing end to three-game winless run in Fulham meeting.
Everton vs. Fulham kicks off at 15:00 [GMT] on Saturday, November 8, at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Toffees [DWLLD], in 14th place, are back for more Premier League action after last weekend’s 1-1 draw with newly promoted Sunderland. They make a return to the Hill Dickinson Stadium looking to bounce back from a bruising 3-0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur — their first such loss since the venue’s renaming. David Moyes’ side will aim to avoid back-to-back home defeats for the first time since early 2024, and the challenge comes in the form of a Fulham side who have enjoyed recent success against the Toffees. Once a fixture firmly tilted in Everton’s favour, this rivalry has shifted in recent years. After winning 22 consecutive home league games against Fulham between 1961 and 2018, Everton are now winless in their last four meetings with the Cottagers (D1 L3). Everton’s form has also cooled after a strong start under Moyes. The Toffees have managed just one win in their last seven Premier League matches (D3 L3), after winning five of their previous six. Everton are averaging 302 completed passes per game this season—their highest since 2020-21—with a passing accuracy of 79.6%, the best recorded under Moyes in the Premier League era. David Moyes will be quietly confident, however. The Everton manager has an excellent record against Fulham — 19 wins in 32 Premier League meetings — more than against any other club. Another victory here would make him only the third manager to reach 20 wins against a single opponent, joining Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsène Wenger in that exclusive club. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in attack is expected against the Cottagers.
Fulham have lost just one of their last seven Premier League encounters with Everton (W3 D3), that defeat coming in May when Everton triumphed 3-1 at Craven Cottage. They arrive on Merseyside buoyed by their 3-1 win over Wolves on Matchday 10—their third league victory of the season—but a worrying pattern remains. All three of those wins have come at home, while their away form has been poor. Marco Silva’s side have lost their last four away games, a run they last endured between November and January of the 2023-24 campaign. Meanwhile, Fulham’s attack has been unusual this season. Of their 12 Premier League goals, three have come via opposition own goals — each occurring in their three league wins. Ryan Sessegnon and Harry Wilson follow with two goals apiece, while Sessegnon has found renewed form in 2025, scoring six goals in 23 appearances, already surpassing his total from 2018–2024 combined. Raúl Jiménez could appear at the attacking end of Marco Silva’s 4—2—3—1 formation.
