Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Everton U23 & Fulham U23 face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Premier League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Everton U23 form and stats
2 victories, 0 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Everton U23 have to build on here in the Premier League 2 Divison Two. This match is a Premier League Cup match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in this competition. With Everton U23 having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager D. Unsworth.
Everton U23's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Porto U23. Ahead of that match, Everton U23 won a home game hosting Watford U23 (3-0).
Everton U23 have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 6 goals in 4 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.
Fulham U23 form and stats
Last season their Premier League Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fulham U23 so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-5 (win-draw-lose). The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Premier League Cup stats, they have 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss both home and away. It's a growing despair in Fulham U23 as they have recorded three consecutive losses. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Fulham U23 are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League 2 Divison Two home defeat versus Stoke City U23 with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Fulham U23 manager M. Pembridge faced defeat when travelling to Newcastle Utd U23 and losing 0-3.
The attacking power of Fulham U23 when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Fulham U23 have conceded 12 goals in these games.
