Prediction: 1-0
Fulham
Everton and Fulham go head to head at Goodison Park in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. The Toffees survived in the Premier League last season thanks to a last-day win over Bournemouth and, no doubt, they are eager to make amends for the unsuccessful domestic campaign. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be summer recruit Arnaut Danjuma, who joined the club on loan from Villarreal.
The Cottagers, on the other hand, are trying to keep hold of top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic, who is linked with a move to Al Hilal. Since “Mitrogol” is unlikely to play against Everton, we are tempted to put our money on the home team. As for the away team, both Tom Cairney and Joao Palhinha are sidelined with injuries, while Dwight McNeil, Dele Alli, and Seamus Coleman miss out for the hosts.
Highlighted Player (Alex Iwobi):
Alex Iwobi is one of the most talented African footballers. The Nigerian football player was born in Lagos on May 3, 1996, but he moved to Arsenal at the age of 8. In 2015 he made his first-team debut for the Gunners, starting in a 3-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup.
Speaking of his Premier League debut, Alex Iwobi played his first game for Arsenal in a 3-0 victory over Swansea City in October, 2015. The pacey winger played for England at youth level, but he eventually went on to play for Nigeria. Iwobi made his senior debut with the Super Eagles on October 8, 2015, coming as a substitute for Ahmed Musa in a 2-0 loss to DR Congo.
On October 7, 2017 the Arsenal footballer scored the winner for Nigeria against Zambia (1-0) which helped the Super Eagles book their place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals. Speaking of his individual trophies, Alex Iwobi was named CAF Young Player of the Year 2016.
Highlighted Team (Fulham):
Fulham are a club from London that play in the Premier League. The capital club dropped to the English second tier at the end of the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign after failing to impress in the elite competition, but managed to return in season 2018/2019.
Fulham were founded in 1879 and they play their home matches at Craven Cottage. Fulham are the oldest-established club from the English capital to have played in the top flight.
Fulham finished the 2008/2009 Premier League campaign in seventh place in the standings and that is considered the team’s biggest success, speaking of their participation in the Premier League.
The Cottagers played in the Europa League twice and they did well to reach the FA Cup final in 1975, but they were beaten by their local rivals West Ham United in the title game (0-2). Chelsea are regarded as Fulham’s bitter rivals as well and the two teams take on each other in the North London derby.
