Joleon Lescott predicts result of Everton v Fulham Premier League clash
Former Manchester City and Everton defender Joleon Lescott has predicted a 2-2 draw when the Toffees take on Fulham on Saturday.
The Cottagers have been in a decent run of form and will go into the game as favourites as hosts, but Lescott sees his ex employers putting up a fight.
He predicts there to be four goals and expects an entertaining encounter at 5:30pm later on 29 October.
He told Livescore, “Fulham are enjoying a dream campaign and the way they bounced back from consecutive defeats earlier in the month says a lot about their character.
“They host an Everton side who put in a convincing display against Palace and it was great to see three different forwards on the scoresheet for the Toffees.
“I’ll go for an entertaining score draw.”
Will take it
The Toffees are undoubtedly in better shape now than they were at the start of the season and have sorted out a number of issues.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin back, they now have a reliable goal scorer and he’s known to be a purple-patch player so one goal could lead to the floodgates being opened.
We’re hoping that Everton get an early goal later today as that will silence the home fans and give Lampard’s side a chance to take control of the game.
It’s certainly going to be an end to end contest so it will be a thrilling watch for the neutral and hopefully, the travelling fans get their money’s worth.
Lampard will have a plan to combat Marco Silva’s side but it’s easier said than done, especially on the road in the Premier League against a team in form.
Hopefully, Everton win it and get closer to where they would like to be on the table – further away from the relegation zone.
