Everton will be looking to keep their improved run of form going when Fulham make the trip up to Goodison Park on Saturday.

Sean Dyche‘s side will cap off Saturday’s action on the weekend with the evening kick off against the Cottagers.

Marco Silva will be returning to his former club and has admitted he is looking forward to visiting Goodison Park one final time.

Everton have some seriously tough fixtures coming up in December where not many will have them down to take many points at all.

So the time is now for Dyche’s side to put some points on the board ahead of what could be a really difficult December.

Alan Shearer shares Everton vs Fulham prediction

Three points may not do much for Everton when it comes to their league standing given their poor goal difference.

But a win could take the Toffees level on points with Fulham who go into the weekend sitting in tenth spot of the table.

However, Everton will be coming up against a side who are looking to turn their struggles around having lost twice in their last two games.

Speaking in his weekly column for Metro, Alan Shearer has predicted Everton to share the points with the Cottagers on Saturday.

“I mentioned Everton’s experienced win over Ipswich last week, and whilst this will be a tougher test, I think it could be a draw, and that wouldn’t be bad for both teams,” he said.

“Fulham are coming off a defeat to Villa, but they missed a penalty at 1-1 and the game may have played out differently. Draw at Goodison Park.”

Everton not favoured by the pundits vs Fulham

It is not just Shearer who is not predicting Everton to take all three points this weekend with Paul Merson expecting a Fulham win.

“Everton were spectacular against Ipswich Town, they never looked like they were in the slightest of troubles. But this is a bigger test, no doubt,” Merson said.

“If I’m being honest, it’s a really tight game to call. But I just think Fulham will get the three points.”

Everton are already being made to make a statement for themselves having lost their opening four games so not having the backing of the pundits will not bother Dyche.

However, it is now time for Everton to maintain their improved form with a defeat on the weekend only putting them back among the sides in the bottom three.
