Fulham are riding high as they return to Craven Cottage on a three-game unbeaten run to host Everton on Saturday in an English Premier League match. The Cottagers (5-3-4) are a surprising seventh in the Premier League table after a 3-2 victory against Leeds United last Sunday. Everton (3-4-5) also comes in on a high note after snapping a three-game losing streak with a 3-0 victory against Crystal Palace last Saturday. That took some heat off manager Frank Lampard, at least temporarily. The Toffees need to find some goals, and Fulham have been giving up plenty. On the other hand, the Cottagers can score with the best of them and face a stingy Toffees back line, so something will have to give Saturday.     

Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET. Caesars Sportsbook lists Fulham as the +129 favorite (risk $100 to win $129) on the money line in its latest Fulham vs. Everton odds, with Everton the +200 underdog. A draw is listed at +240, and the over/under for total goals scored is set at 2.5.

Why you should back Fulham

Only the top three teams have scored more than Fulham's 22 goals, and two of their four losses so far came against Arsenal and Tottenham. Second-place Manchester City is up next for the Cottagers. That means they will be keen to grab maximum points here, especially with manager Marco Silva facing his old team for the first time since he was fired by Everton in 2019. The Toffees have scored just 11 goals all season, so Fulham's leaky back line shouldn't be a major issue.

Fulham have had no problem scoring, with Aleksandar Mitrovic playing like a man possessed after hearing questions about how effective he could be in the EPL. The Serb scored a record 43 goals in the Championship last season. He has silenced doubters with nine so far, third behind Harry Kane and Erling Haaland. Andreas Pereira has been creating chances and has one goal and four assists. Everton have the fourth-fewest shots (121) and allowed the most (190).

Why you should back Everton

The Toffees looked impressive with Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the charge last Saturday. He scored his first goal of the season, and Anthony Gordon (team-high three goals) and Dwight McNeil (two) also got on the board. Demarai Gray (one goal) Alex Iwobi (one) and Amadou Onana also can be disruptive in attack. Everton's attack should find opportunities against Fulham, who have allowed more than 40% of opponents' shots to hit the target, third-most in the league.     

The Everton back line is the backbone of the team. The Toffees have conceded 12 goals, with Conor Coady and James Tarkowski locking down the middle and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford keeping balls out of the net. Pickford is third in the league in save percentage (81.8) while Fulham counterpart Bernd Leno is under 72%. The Toffees work hard to keep shots away from Pickford, leading the EPL in tackles won (145) and sharing the lead in blocked shots (56).
