Premier League
Everton are currently just outside the relegation zone due to a better goal difference, but they are facing a tough battle to stay in the Premier League until the end of the season. They suffered a defeat away against Manchester United in their previous match, after a four-game unbeaten run. The popular “Toffees” must collect crucial points, and home games are their best chance for that. Since Sean Dyche took over as manager, Everton have improved their results at home. They enter the upcoming match with a strong imperative to achieve a positive outcome. Seamus Coleman (defender), Abdoulaye Doucoure (midfielder – 2 goals/2 assists), and Andros Townsend (midfielder) are unavailable, while the participation of Rayan Vinagre (defender) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (forward – 1 goal) is uncertain.
Expected lineup (4-5-1): Jordan Pickford – Nathan Patterson, Michael Keane, James Tarkowski, Ben Godfrey – Alex Iwobi, André Onana, Idrissa Gueye, James Garner, Dwight McNeil – Demarai Gray.
Fulham, since securing their Premier League survival in their return season, have experienced a dip in form. They have lost five consecutive matches in all competitions. The absence of their top scorer, Aleksandar Mitrovic (11 goals), who is serving an eight-match suspension due to an incident in the FA Cup, is a significant problem. It is evident that the team’s performance has declined due to a lack of motivation and objectives for the remainder of the season. They have achieved their goal and are playing with less pressure now. Lamine Kurzawa (defender), Neeskens Kebano (midfielder – 4 assists), and Aleksandar Mitrovic (forward – 11 goals/1 assist) are unavailable.
Expected lineup (4-2-3-1): Benjamin Leno – Kenny Tete, Tim Ream, Issa Diop, Antonee Robinson – Harrison Reed, João Palhinha – Bobby Decordova-Reid, Matheus Pereira, Willian – Carlos Vinicius.
