Fulham vs. Everton

With just three matches to go in the season, Fulham hosts Everton on Saturday at Craven Cottage. Kickoff will be at 10am EDT on Peacock.

As with the other Premier League seasons under Silva, Fulham is kind of sputtering toward the finish. Fulham hasn't put together three wins in a row all season. Doing that now would really help Fulham with their quest for a European spot, but I do not expect that to happen. Fulham can't seem to close out seasons strong and the injury list isn't helping either.

Castagne now joins Muniz and probably Nelson as players who will miss the rest of the season. Castagne was playing injured for weeks trying to hold down the right side until Tete could return. Now Tete returns the favor. Reed is out and most important of all, Lukic will be out too. Pereira was a bit of an unexpected scratch last week, but hopefully he'll be back this week.

So, Fulham is a bit banged up, they haven't performed well against weaker teams, Silva's game management has been questionable in recent weeks, and we've come to expect late season disappointments. All that adds up to a match I am not looking forward to on Saturday when really, I should be stoked for an exciting finish with Fulham competing against Brentford, Brighton, and Bournemouth for a Conference League spot.
