Fulham are unbeaten in seven meetings with Everton, their longest-ever streak in this fixture, albeit their last two encounters have Craven Cottage have ended goalless, which doesn't bode well.

Can Fulham keep their European hopes alive? Last weekend, the Cottagers were beaten 1-0 by Aston Villa in, what can only be described as, a pretty dull affair; anyone else who sat through that one will surely agree!

Thus, Marco Silva's side continue to struggle for consistency, winning seven of their last 15 matches, but losing the other eight, most-recently enjoying back-to-back victories in November.

Having said all of that, the Whites are still in with a shout of European qualification. Precursor, If Man City win the FA Cup next weekend, eighth place will be a Conference League spot. As things stand, Fulham are 11th, two points below Bournemouth, the current occupants of that all-important eighth spot. After this, the Cottagers' remain fixtures are a West London derby against Brentford, which could be decisive, and a home game against Man City, underlining the importance of a win here.

As for Everton, next weekend they will wave goodbye to Goodison Park, but they're set to do so in pretty underwhelming form. Last weekend, the Toffees were 2-0 up at home to Ipswich, Beto and then Dwight McNeil the scorers on a day of celebration, only to fall apart and draw 2-2, a pretty embarrassing result against a side who've already been relegated.

This means it is just one win in ten for David Moyes' men, having won four out of five immediately before this, with the Blues rather limping towards the end of the season. Thus, Fulham will surely fancy their chances of collecting three potential precious points on the banks of the River Thames.

Fulham team news

Rodrigo Muniz isn't likely to feature again this season due to an achilles injury, so Raúl Jiménez will continue to lead the attack. In-behind, against a stubborn Everton side, will Marco Silva consider starting Emile Smith Rowe, something he has not done since April Fool's Day?

On a side not, should Saša Lukić be booked during each of Fulham's last three matches, he would break the Premier League record for most yellow cards in a single season, the Serb currently on 12.

Fulham predicted lineup vs Everton: (4-2-3-1): Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukić, Sessegnon, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jiménez.

Fulham player to watch vs Everton

We've already mentioned him but worth highlighting Raúl Jiménez again, given that he's scored five times in his career against Everton, only netting against West Ham with greater frequency.

Everton team news

Everton are without James Tarkowski, who'd started 117 successive Premier League matches before sustaining a hamstring injury against Man City, while Orel Mangala and Jesper Lindstrøm are also sidelined. In better news, Dominic Calvert-Lewin came on as a late substitute against Ipswich, featuring for the first time since January due to a hamstring injury, so will he see more minutes here? Lastly, out of contract Abdoulaye Doucouré wasn't even on the bench last weekend, so will he return?

Everton predicted lineup vs Fulham: (4-5-1): Pickford; Patterson, O'Brien, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gana Gueye, Garner, Doucouré, McNeil, Ndiaye; Beto.

Iliman Ndiaye has nine goals to his name this season, set to be the Toffees' most-likely goalscorer here, as he's been all throughout the campaign.

Fulham vs Everton prediction

We are backing Fulham for victory at Craven Cottage. The Whites are inconsisent but sometimes excellent, while Everton's recent form is wretched, something we're expecting to continue: Fulham 2-0 Everton.
