Victory could lift Everton as high as 11th in the table, whilst Fulham can leapfrog the Toffees with a win and go 12th.

Prediction
Having taken the lead when on top in their 1-1 draw at Sunderland, Everton pretty much wasted chances to extend their lead and instead came away with a point with a solidly defensive second half which raises questions about their lack of clinical forwards.
Fulham meanwhile looked like their old selves with plenty of exciting energetic intensity and press with a clinical end product to boot, which will of done wonders for their confidence but they now need to kick on if want to move away from the drop and bring that spirit into this game.
Everton though won’t make this easy at home but if Fulham turn up with the same attitude, I can see them nicking this.
Prediction: Everton 1-2 Fulham
Result: Everton 2-0 Fulham
