The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Everton take on Marco Silva's impressive Fulham side in an intriguing encounter at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Everton vs Fulham Preview
Fulham finished in 10th place in the Premier League standings last season and have been stepped up to the plate on a few occasions this year. The away side edged TSG Hoffenheim to a narrow 2-1 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Everton, on the other hand, secured a 17th-place finish in the league table last season and have been a shadow of their former selves in recent months. The Toffees defeated Sporting Lisbon to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this match.

Fulham have been shown flashes of improvement over the past year and have pulled off admirable displays under Marco Silva. The likes of Andreas Pereira and Carlos Vinicius can be lethal on their day and have a point to prove this weekend.
