The spotlight is on Marco Silva as he returns to face his former club, leading his Fulham squad against Everton in today’s late kick-off at 17:30 BST.
Everton Team Update
Everton remain consistent in their lineup, sticking with the squad that secured victory over Ipswich Town last weekend. This means Jarrad Branthwaite will start on the bench, with Michael Keane and James Tarkowski continuing their reliable partnership at center-back.
Fulham Adjustments
Fulham make a forced change with Joachim Andersen suspended, bringing in Issa Diop to fill the center-back slot. Emile Smith Rowe and Andreas Pereira once again pair up in midfield.
Form Comparison
In attack, both teams show contrasting form. Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been scoreless in his last four matches, while Fulham’s Raul Jimenez has netted in five consecutive games.

Everton XI: Pickford, Young, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Gueye, Doucoure, Harrison, Ndiaye, McNeil, Calvert-Lewin.
