Everton vs Fulham Prediction: Sports Mole Previews Tuesday's Premier League Clash

Fulham looking to make a fast start to the season.

Fulham will be looking to make a fast start to the season when they host Everton in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.

The Cottagers earned promotion back to the top flight via the play-offs last season, and they will be determined to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.

Everton, meanwhile, finished 16th in the Premier League last season, and they will be looking to improve on that position under new manager Frank Lampard.

Everton form and team news

Everton have had a mixed pre-season, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their five matches.

They have also been relatively quiet in the transfer market, with James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeil the only major signings so far.

Lampard is likely to field a strong team for the match against Fulham, with Jordan Pickford, Ben Godfrey, Yerry Mina and Vitaliy Mykolenko forming a solid back four.

Prediction

This is a tough match to call, but Fulham may just edge it.

The Cottagers have a good squad, and they will be playing at home in front of their own fans.

Everton, on the other hand, are still a work in progress under Lampard, and they have not been in great form in pre-season.
