Fulham vs Everton: Kick-Off Nepal Time, Alcaraz Watch, McNeil Returns & Prediction

Everton travel to London to take on European hopefuls Fulham this Saturday, May 10, looking to end their winless run and finish the season strong. After a frustrating 2-2 draw against relegated Ipswich, David Moyes is demanding more from his squad—especially Carlos Alcaraz and Dwight McNeil.

⚽ Alcaraz & McNeil Key to Everton Bounce-Back

Everton gave up a 2-0 lead for the fourth time this season last week, and Moyes is keen to fix that habit fast. First-half goals from Beto (header from an Alcaraz cross) and McNeil (stunning long-range strike) looked to have sealed the win, but Julio Enciso and George Hirst brought Ipswich back into it.

Moyes praised both goalscorers but hinted there’s more to come, especially from Charly Alcaraz, on loan from Flamengo, and McNeil, recently back from injury.

“Charly showed flashes, and Dwight had moments. But if we’re going to win, we’ve got to finish more of those crosses,” Moyes said post-match.

Everton have now gone three league matches without a win, with just one win in their last 10. But Fulham won’t be an easy target—they’re still eyeing a late push for Europe.

🔁 Predicted Lineup Changes

🟢 Expected to Start:

• Carlos Alcaraz
• Dwight McNeil
• Beto

🔴 Rotation Watch:

• Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be benched again
• Ashley Young or Seamus Coleman may rotate in at full-back

Fulham are likely to keep things consistent, with Alex Iwobi and Raul Jimenez leading the line.

🔎 Players to Watch

Fulham – Alex Iwobi
The ex-Toffee has 9 Premier League goals and 6 assists this season. He scored in the reverse fixture and is thriving under Marco Silva, who also managed him at Everton.

Everton – Beto
Two goals in two games vs Fulham this season. He’s stepping up in Calvert-Lewin’s shadow and could be a game-changer again.

📊 Stat Pack

• Fulham are unbeaten in their last six PL games vs Everton (W3 D3).
• Everton have drawn 15 league matches this season—only Sunderland (17 in 2014-15) drew more in a single campaign.
• Fulham have zero draws in their last 15 matches (W7 L8).
• Everton have scored just 5 goals in their last 10 PL away games in London.

🔮 Kirib Prediction

Fulham 2-1 Everton
Fulham still have something to fight for, while Everton look shaky away from home. Expect Iwobi to shine against his former club as Fulham push for a top-eight finish.
