Everton booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a thrilling 5-4 victory over Tottenham in midweek.
That win means win Toffees have only lost one of their last eight matches in all competitions, recording five wins and two draws along the way.
In their previous Premier League game, Everton were involved in another high-scoring thriller, coming from behind to snatch a 3-3 draw with Manchester United.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men are now just three points behind fourth-place Liverpool with two games in hand over their rivals.
It is also worth noting that Dominic Calvert-Lewin has notched up three goals and three assists in his last three appearances in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Fulham have been stuck in the bottom three since December, with relegation now looking like a real possibility.
The Cottagers have actually only lost four of their last 12 league games, but a whopping eight draws during that period have prevented the club from steering clear of the drop zone.
Having netted just 17 goals in 22 games, Scott Parker’s men are currently the third-lowest scorers in the Premier League.
However, it is worth pointing out that Fulham do boast the third-best defensive record of all the teams sitting in the bottom nine.
Last time out, Fulham registered a goalless draw against West Ham, despite enjoying 61% possession and notching up 20 shots.
Head-to-head: In the reverse fixture back in November, Everton clinched a 3-2 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage.
The Toffees have won four of the last five meetings between the teams, scoring over 2.5 goals on every occasion.
Team news: Everton have a number of injury doubts, with Lucas Digne, James Rodriguez, Jordan Pickford and Allan all struggling for fitness.
As for Fulham, Scott Parker won’t be able to select Tom Cairney or Terence Kongolo this weekend, as the pair continue to recover from injury.
Fulham just can’t seem to break their dismal winless run at the moment, while Everton appear to have rediscovered from good form.
With that in mind, Forebet predicts that Everton will beat Fulham on Sunday, scoring over 1.5 goals while keeping a clean sheet in the process.
