Everton vs Fulham injury news as 7 out and 2 doubts for Carabao Cup quarter-final

Fulham are aiming to reach the semi-final stage of the Carabao Cup for the first time in their history. The Cottagers are looking to bounce back from their 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United in the league, in a tie that promises to be a challenging test for Marco Silva’s side against his former employers Everton at Goodison Park.

The Toffees enter the fixture high on confidence with a run of four consecutive victories in the league - almost instantly cancelling out the 10-point deduction that was served to them at the start of the month. Both sides have never previously tasted Carabao Cup glory, although Everton have experienced semi-final heartbreak on three separate occasions, whilst also losing the final to arch-rivals Liverpool in 1984.

The highly-anticipated quarter-final match comes during a hectic period of the season with fixtures coming in thick and fast. With that in mind London World rounds up all of the latest team news from both club’s ahead of the game at Goodison Park.
