The Premier League season is heating up, and we are starting to see the shape of things, who is going for the title, who’s looking at a solid season, and who’s going to be fighting to stay up.

Just a few weeks ago, it seemed like Everton would be stuck in the relegation battle, but they have pulled off some great results lately. Everton are now on a four-game unbeaten run. Sure, the schedule might’ve been a bit kind to them, but for a team with limited firepower, it’s a solid achievement. Last week, they grabbed an important 2-0 win away at Ipswich, with Ndiaye and Keane scoring in the first half. After that, they held off the hosts and saw out the game comfortably. That win will give them a real boost heading into the rest of the season.

On the other hand, Fulham are in a bit of a rough patch, but they’re still sitting 10th with 11 points. London squad lost their last two matches 3-2 away to Manchester City and 3-1 at home to Aston Villa. In both games, they had their chances, and some might say they were unlucky not to get something from them. It just didn’t fall their way. That little bit of extra sharpness might be what’s missing for Fulham to really push on, but overall, Marco Silva’s done a great job with them over the past few seasons. They have got an easier run of fixtures coming up, so it’s a good chance to solidify their spot in the top half.

Everton vs Fulham pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Everton’s attack is one of the most limited in the league, so their defense has to be on point if they are going to keep picking up points. That’s been the case in recent weeks, and Sean Dyche will be happy with how solid they’ve looked. After all, that’s been his style throughout his career — think of his time with Burnley, where defense was the key.

Fulham have shown they can score goals, but Goodison Park hasn’t been an easy place for them, and they’ve taken some heavy defeats there before. Neither manager is likely to go all-out from the start, so we could see a cautious opening with both sides feeling each other out. Four of the last five league meetings between these two have ended with two goals or fewer, and this one feels like it could be another low-scoring clash.
