Everton were unbeaten in their first 27 home league games against Fulham between 1949 and 2018 (W23 D4), winning each of the last 22 of those. Since then, they’ve lost their last three at home to the Cottagers.
Fulham are unbeaten in their last five Premier League games against Everton (W3 D2), keeping four clean sheets in the process. All three of those wins in that run have come at Goodison Park.
Since losing their first four Premier League matches this season, Everton are unbeaten in four games (W2 D2). Only once have the Toffees gone five unbeaten under Sean Dyche, doing so in April and May this year.
Fulham have scored the first goal in each of their last five Premier League games (W2 D1 L2), although they’ve lost the last two. Only six teams have lost three in a row after scoring first, most recently Sheffield United in April and May last season.
Everton have kept six clean sheets in their last seven Premier League games in October (W4 D2 L1), including both games this season. Since the 2022-23 season, the Toffees have averaged 0.75 points per game in August and September (P20 W3 D6 L11) compared to 1.55 points per game in October (W5 D2 L4).
Since Sean Dyche’s first Premier League games in charge of Everton, only Arsenal (33) have scored more goals via set pieces (excl. pens) than the Toffees (27).
Fulham manager Marco Silva has won each of his last two away Premier League games against Everton, whom he managed 53 times between August 2018 and December 2019. In Premier League history, the only manager to win away at his former club more than twice in a row was Harry Redknapp at West Ham between 2006 and 2009 (five in a row).
Everton have made just 22 substitutions in the Premier League this season, fewer than any other side. Since the 2014-15 season, among managers to take charge of 50+ games, Sean Dyche has made the fewest subs per game of any manager (2.4).
Dwight McNeil has been involved in six goals in his last six Premier League appearances (3 goals, 3 assists) for Everton. He’s only the third Toffees player with three goals and three assists in the opening eight games of a season, after Francis Jeffers in 1999-00 and James Rodriguez in 2020-21.
Raúl Jiménez has scored or assisted in each of his last five Premier League appearances for Fulham (4 goals, 1 assist). No Cottagers player has done so in six games in a row, while only three players have scored or assisted in six in a row aged 33 or older: Gus Poyet aged 34 in 2001, Dennis Bergkamp aged 35 in 2004 and Zlatan Ibrahimovic aged 35 in 2017.
