Everton hosts Fulham in round 24 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, February 14th at Goodison Park (Liverpool)
After Everton decided to invite experienced coach Carlo Ancelotti, the team stepped up and started to make progress, although the roster did not change much. At the start of the 2020/2021 season, the Toffees temporarily topped the standings. In recent weeks, they have slowed down a little, but now all clubs in Europe (even the invincible Bayern) periodically make mistakes, as this season is the most difficult in the entire modern history of football. After a tough away victory over Leeds United, Ancelotti's men faced Manchester United. Everton failed in the first half – the team conceded twice and did not deliver a single shot on target. But at the beginning of the second half, the Toffees braced up and equalized. The key role was played by Doukure, who scored a goal and made an assist. The Red Devils pressed on the opponent's penalty area and managed to take the lead again, but then luck was on the side of the visitors. And the Toffees pulled out a draw in the last seconds of the meeting (3:3). In the midweek, Everton arranged a goal shootout in the FA Cup match with Tottenham and managed to gain victory in extra time (5:4). But the hosts spent a lot of energy, and it’s not clear whether they will have enough time to recover.

Fulham has returned to the top division again, but the Cottagers have not managed to create at least some competition in the Premier League. The team is in the relegation zone and lags 8 points behind the saving 17th place. The Cottagers gained only two wins in the current season. And they don't know the taste of victories for 14 matches in a row, considering the results in all tournaments. As a rule, Fulham gains points through draws. Such an outcome has already been recorded 9 times, and only Brighton has one draw more. The previous weekend also ended in the sharing of points. Parker's men failed to breach the defense of West Ham (0: 0), although they had an advantage over their rivals both in terms of the game and statistics.
Of course, Everton is stronger and more skilled, but we suppose that the visitors will impose a struggle, and the Toffees will not have an easy walk. The motivation to score points and stay in the Premier League should do its job. Most likely, the regular goalkeeper Jordan Pickford will not be able to help Everton. With or without him, the team conceded seven goals in its last four games in the Premier League, as well as four goals in the FA Cup. We think that the visitors will offer battle and won’t lose with a large goal difference.
Prediction for the match: Fulham to win with +1.0 handicap
