Premiership - Everton vs Fulham Football betting preview

I think people are under estimating Fulham at the moment. I'm not saying they are great or anything but I dont think they are as bad as a lot of other people seem to think. Their problem is they are drawing too many games they could be winning. They have a bad away record losing 4 and drawing 3 out of 7 but they have played away at Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Man United and have acquited themselves well in those games considering the obvious differing levels of quality between the teams.

If you look at Fulham's results they have only been beaten by 2 goals or more by Portsmouth, Liverpool and Man United. They have been defending well away from home, keeping their goal in tact till very late on. They do have some players out injured but have still been performing ok without them.

Everton are entering a very busy period at the moment with games piling up due to being in the unfamiliar position of still competing in a few cup competitions. Against Zenit in the UEFA Cup on wednesday they played against 10 men for 60mins and won with a 85th min Tim Cahill goal. They are on a 9 game unbeaten run but I have a feeling they wont get it all their own way today. Cahill looked tired during that match and Arteta isnt quite at his mercurial best imo although he always playes better at home than away. Yobo could still be out and his replacement Jagielka doesnt look 100% comfortable yet in the team. Yakubu and Osman will probably be back in the team after a midweek rest.

I live only a few miles from Goodison Park and its been raining for hours and the wind is up too, conditions which will hinder both teams. Close match in contest here I think which has traditionally gone in the home teams favour. Fulham to cover the handicap though....

Good Luck .............
