The 11 players who could miss Fulham vs Everton in Premier League on Saturday

Fulham face a trip to Merseyside this weekend as they come up against Sean Dyche’s Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday at 5.30pm. Marco Silva’s side come off the back of consecutive Premier League defeats.

Last time out they lost 3-1 to Aston Villa where a single goal from Raul Jimenez after five minutes took the lead for the Cottagers. However, an equaliser from Morgan Rodgers four minutes later gave Villa the momentum. Ollie Watkins then scored to take the lead for Villa before an Issa Diop own goal made it 3-1 giving Unai Emery’s side the three points. Fulham was placed 10th on the table.

They face an Everton side who come off the back of a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town and are unbeaten in four Premier League matches. It should be a relatively evenly-matched affair as Everton will have the home advantage, but Fulham will be keen to get back to winning ways.
