Prediction: 1-0
Fulham
Everton will be aiming to build on a routine 2-0 win over Ipswich Town when they welcome Fulham to their Goodison Park in the Premier League round 9. The Toffees are eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Saturday’s clash. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Belgium midfielder Orel Mangala should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Cottagers, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Man City and Aston Villa, but given their sudden struggles at the back, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the in-form hosts. To make things even worse for the away team, defender Joachim Andersen is banned for the match. The likes of Carlos Vinicius, Sasa Lukic, Jorge Cuenca, and Timothy Castagne miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Abdoulaye Doucouré):
French international midfielder Abdoulaye Doucour is a bundle of raw energy and a player who was voted Watford’s Player of the Season during the 2017/18 campaign. A deep-lying midfielder who takes part in play build-up from behind is a defensive asset who took time to blossom and announce himself at the international stage. He first burst to prominence at Ligue 1 side Rennes in 2012 after a year with the club’s B side and went on to play 75 league matches and score 12 goals.
Watford bought Doucoure in 2016 but sent him on loan to Granada, where he took part in 15 league matches. Determined to prove his worth in the Premier League, the Frenchman of Mali descent wasted no time in grabbing a starting spot under both Marco Silva and Javi Garcia, respectively, upon his return from Spain.
The total of 38 matches played along with 8 goals scored made Doucoure one of the most sought-after assets in the summer of 2018 but the player remained at Vicarage Road despite reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
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.
