Everton, coached by Sean Dyche, is 16th in the Premier League after eight rounds played, with a balance of 2-2-4, a total of eight points with 9-15 goals.

The Toffees, who started their league season with four consecutive losses, took their second win in the last three games after Ipswich fell 2-0 at Portman Road last Saturday. They are on an upwards trend, the performances in the first 4 games were not good, but on the other hand the opponents were tough, Brighton, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Aston Villa. Now it looks a lot better!

In my books, Fulham are class-wise equal to Palace, whom Everton beat recently at home. Latest games of Everton with xG-numbers below:

Dyche's defenders finished both of their hits already in the opening period, when Iliman Ndiaye fired a ball from the crossbar into the upper right corner after a quarter of the game, and Michael Keane, on the other hand, hit Dwight McNeil's pass into the upper left corner of the goalpost in the 40th minute.

James Garner (lower back) and Tim Iroegbunam (ankle) from the Toffees' midfield and Armando Broja (calf) and Chermiti (ankle) from the attack miss the game.

Possible starting line-up for Everton (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Gueye, Doucoure; Harrison, McNeil, Ndiaye; Calvert-Lewin.

After eight rounds, Fulham, coached Marco Silva, is tenth in the Premier League with a balance of 3-2-3 with a total of 11 goals scored, 11-11. Away they are 1-1-2, but there have been a few difficult trips to Manchester.

Fulham have massively high numbers in xG-data, but they are a prime example of why the xG occasionally goes badly wrong, the previous loss to Villa is a good example of that. Fulham are better than people expected, but still they are not very good. Are they any better than Everton? I am not at all sure, and today they miss super important Andersen from the defense, he is difficult to replace with the squad at disposal.

Fulham defenders Joachim Andersen (suspended) and Timothy Castagne (thigh) and midfielder Sasa Lukic (shoulder) will miss the game. In addition to that, defender Jorge Cuenca (ankle) and forward Carlos Vinicius (calf) are doubts.

Fulham's (4-2-3-1) possible starting roster: Leno; Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Pereira; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Muniz.

戴奇执教的埃弗顿在8轮比赛后排名英超第16位，比分为2-2-4,9-15球，积分8分。

上周六伊普斯维奇在波特曼路0 - 2负于对手后，以四连败开局的太妃糖取得了近三场比赛中的第二场胜利。他们有上升的趋势，前4场比赛的表现不太好，但另一方面对手很强硬，布莱顿，热刺，伯恩茅斯和阿斯顿维拉。现在看起来好多了！

在我的书中，富勒姆在阶级上与埃弗顿最近在主场击败的水晶宫不相上下。以下是埃弗顿最新的比赛数据：

戴奇的防守队员在开场阶段就完成了这两次命中。比赛进行到四分之一时，伊利曼·恩迪亚耶（Iliman Ndiaye）从横梁上将球射进了球门的右上角，另一方面，迈克尔·基恩（Michael Keane）在第40分钟将德怀特·麦克尼尔（Dwight McNeil）的传球接进了球门的左上角。

太妃糖中场的詹姆斯·加纳（腰部受伤）和蒂姆·伊洛格布南（脚踝受伤），锋线的阿曼多·布罗亚（小腿受伤）和切尔米蒂（脚踝受伤）将缺席比赛。

埃弗顿可能的首发阵容（4-2-3-1）：皮克福德；Young, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko；Gueye位选手;哈里森，麦克尼尔，恩迪亚耶；Calvert-Lewin。

8轮过后，在马尔科·席尔瓦的带领下，富勒姆以3-2-3的平衡排名英超第十，共打入11球，11-11。客场他们取得了1胜2负的战绩，但他们也有几次艰难的客场之旅。

富勒姆的xG数据非常高，但他们是xG偶尔出现严重错误的一个主要例子，之前输给维拉就是一个很好的例子。富勒姆比人们预期的要好，但他们仍然不是很好。他们比埃弗顿强吗？我一点也不确定，今天他们在防守端失去了超级重要的安徒生，他很难被球队所取代。

富勒姆后卫安德森（停赛）、卡斯塔涅（大腿受伤）和中场卢卡奇（肩膀受伤）将缺席本场比赛。除此之外，后卫豪尔赫·昆卡（脚踝受伤）和前锋卡洛斯·维尼修斯（小腿受伤）也有疑问。

富勒姆（4-2-3-1）可能的首发名单：雷诺；泰特、迪奥普、巴塞、罗宾逊；贝,佩雷拉;特拉奥雷，史密斯·罗，伊沃比；穆尼斯。
