Everton’s focus has shifted back to the Premier League now after a frantic end to the transfer window, with Fulham up next at Craven Cottage.
Last weekend, the Toffees rescued a point against Brighton right at the death, courtesy of a late goal by Beto.
That has kept a bit of momentum going for Everton, who have now come from behind to take a point in each of their last two games. The Toffees also scored late on against Sunderland in the FA Cup to take the game to extra-time.
On Saturday, Everton will be in west London to take on Fulham.
And fans will hope to get a glimpse of new signing Tyrique George, who completed a deadline day loan move to Everton from Chelsea.
A win would be huge – and also see Everton achieve something fairly uncommon.

Everton could do their first league double over Fulham for 12 years
It will be a tough game against Fulham, who are part of that cluster of clubs in mid-table looking to secure European football.
At the moment, they are level on points with Everton, but one place above in the table due to a superior goal difference.
For both sides, it’s a real opportunity.
Victory for Everton would be most welcome, and three points on Saturday would see the Toffees actually record a league double over Fulham for the first time since the 2013/14 season (BBC Sport).
Of course, Fulham have had some time out of the top-flight since then due to relegations, meaning there were seasons there were no league meetings. But an Everton win to achieve a league double would still be something that is not very common.
In the reverse fixture, Everton beat Fulham 2-0 thanks to goals from Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane.
Gueye converted after the ball came off the crossbar, and Keane added a second in the second-half by nodding in a Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall corner.
David Moyes should unleash Tyrique George on Fulham
New signing Tyrique George will be available for selection for Everton against Fulham.
And there is a strong argument for Moyes starting George straight away against Fulham, given the form of other players.
What did you notice from the footage of Tyrique George’s first training session? 🤩
The boy looks absolutely electric 🔥
The youngster’s unpredictability is needed right now, and could give Kenny Tete some issues.
George was seen operating from left-sided positions in his first training session, which perhaps indicates that he will play from that side, with Iliman Ndiaye maybe shifting across.
