Roy Keane overrules Ian Wright with Everton and Fulham prediction – ‘Im all over the place’
Roy Keane overruled Ian Wright on The Overlap with his prediction for Everton’s clash against Fulham on Saturday.
Everton will face Fulham in the Premier League on 8 November in a bid to turn their Premier League fortunes around.
This comes after Everton suffered a disappointing 1-1 draw against Sunderland on Monday, following Granit Xhaka’s equaliser for the Black Cats.
However, the Toffees will be condemned to the same fate if Keane is right on this one.
Roy Keane expects draw in Everton vs Fulham
Provisionally 13th, Moyes will be hoping for a higher Premier League finish once the season ends.
Jack Grealish has been incredible for Everton since he arrived on loan over the summer, but even his heroics have yet to convince spectators that the Toffees are legitimate competitors.
Indeed, speaking via The Overlap on 6 November, Wright initially predicted Fulham to win on Saturday as he said: “I fancy Fulham.”
However, given that the Cottagers are 15th in the Premier League, Keane quickly questioned his decision.
“Fulham? They’re fourth bottom. Fifth,” Keane responded.
“I think they’re just a little bit of something away from. You can’t make mistakes like Calvin [Bassey] did the other week. I’ll probably go Everton as well because they’re not scoring, what do you think?” Wright asked.
“You said Fulham a minute ago. 1-1,” Keane said in a prediction that overruled Wright’s previous suggestion.
“I’m all over the place. I’m tired, and still sleepy,” the former Arsenal forward added as he agreed to go with Keane’s prediction.
But, given that Everton are leading Fulham in the table and are playing at home, Moyes will fancy his chances at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Why Everton will triumph against Fulham
Moyes has won 11 out of his last 17 games against Fulham, in a record which could boost the Toffees’ chances against the Cottagers.
His all time record is even more impressive:
- Moyes has overseen 40 games against Fulham
- He has won 21
- He has only lost 13 games
This will no doubt fill Everton fans with confidence heading into the confrontation.
Furthermore, the Toffees have been the better defensive side this season, conceding just 13 goals in the league, which is the ninth fewest among the top division clubs. Fulham, on the other hand, have conceded 14 goals.
While Everton have scored two fewer goals, they’ve created three more big chances in the Premier League this season. This means that Moyes’ side will create against their opponents, but finishing will be key.
All in all, the Toffees have a team that are both creative and defensive enough to secure all three points on Saturday.
