Alex Iwobi will be aiming to score his 10th Premier League goal of the season when Fulham welcome Everton to Craven Cottage for their Matchday 36 clash.

The fixture holds significance not only for Iwobi, who is chasing a personal milestone, but also for Fulham as they look to secure a top-half finish for the second time in three seasons.

The Super Eagles star has enjoyed a standout campaign with the Cottagers, netting nine goals and providing six assists in 35 Premier League appearances — his most productive season to date. His previous best saw him score five goals in 30 league matches.

The Nigeria international has been a mainstay in Marco Silva’s squad, featuring in every league game so far this season.

With key players such as striker Rodrigo Muniz, midfielder Harrison Reed, and Arsenal loanee Reiss Nelson sidelined due to injury, Silva will be counting on Iwobi’s consistency and recent form, including goals in each of Fulham’s last two matches, to lead the charge.

Bookmakers are backing Alex Iwobi to get on the scoresheet for Fulham, especially with several key attacking players sidelined through injury. The 29-year-old, a former Everton man, has scored six of his nine Premier League goals at home this season and will be aiming to make it seven in front of the Craven Cottage faithful.
