Everton v Fulham: match preview

Everton v Fulham
Everton v Fulham: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Carlo Ancelotti conceded his players “are not in the best condition” after a two hour shift against Tottenham on Wednesday but the same cannot be said of their confidence having prevailed in a classic FA Cup tie. With James Rodríguez and Andre Gomes recovered from injury, the Everton manager has more options to rotate and Josh King could make his debut in place of the injured Dominic Calvert-Lewin. An improvement on the last home league game against Newcastle is necessary. Fulham may be languishing third from bottom but have drawn their last three games on the road. Andy Hunter
