Fulham and Everton will face off in the Premier League at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.
Marco Silva’s men have seen their hopes of playing European football next season fade following last week’s 1-0 loss away at Aston Villa.
That was the capital club’s third league defeat across their last four matches, meaning that they have fallen into the bottom half of the table.
That being said, a top half finish is still within range, especially if Fulham can pick up all three points when they entertain Everton this weekend.
After making an impressive impact across the opening months of his second stint in charge of the Toffees, results have tailed somewhat under David Moyes in recent weeks.
The Mereseysiders were held to a 2-2 draw at home to already-relegated Ipswich last week, a stalemate that extended the visitors' winless run to three matches.
How the bookies view it: Fulham firm favourites
Despite losing three of their last four Premier League games, Fulham come into this clash as firm 5/6 favourites on Boylesports.
Everton are as big as 16/5 on Boylesports to collect all three points at Craven Cottage, while the draw is also deemed unlikely at 5/2 with the same firm.
Head to head: History favours the hosts
Fulham have avoided defeat in each of their last six Premier League encounters with Everton, including this season’s reverse fixture at Goodison Park which ended 1-1.
Another game between the pair featuring goals at both ends looks worthy of consideration at 4/5 with Boylesports. Both teams to score backers would have been paid out in 13 of Fulham's 17 Premier League home games this season so far.
Players to watch: Target an Iwobi shot
Alex Iwobi has registered a minimum of one shot on target in five of his last eight Premier League outings for Fulham at Craven Cottage, making a repeat on Saturday afternoon a value option at 4/5 with Boylesports.
Beto scored the opening goal of Everton’s game with Ipswich last weekend and the Toffees attacker is as big as 7/1 on Boylesports to repeat the trick at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
Predicted line-ups
Fulham boss Silva will again have to make do without injured trio Harrison Reed, Reiss Nelson and Rodrigo Muniz.
As was the case last weekend, Everton will be without James Tarkowski, Jesper Lindstrom and Orel Mangala.
Fulham: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Sessegnon, Wilson, Iwobi; Jimenez
Everton: Pickford; Patterson, O’Brien, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner; McNeil, Ndiaye, Alcaraz; Beto
Anything else catch the eye?
Calvin Bassey looks a touch too big at 4/5 on Bet 365 to commit a minimum of one foul on Saturday afternoon.
The Fulham defender has fallen foul of the referee in each of his last seven outings in the Premier League.
Bassey could be in a direct battle with Everton attacker Beto, who has drawn a foul from the opposition in 10 of his last 13 starts in the top flight.
