Everton could move to within touching distance of the top half of the table if they beat Fulham on Saturday.

The Toffees beat relegation rivals Ipswich Town 2-0 last time out and currently sit 16th in the table, five points clear of the bottom three.

Fulham meanwhile make the trip to Merseyside off the back of a 3-1 defeat at home to high-flying Aston Villa and are 10th in the Premier League.

Saturday’s encounter is the second in a winnable run of fixtures, and Sean Dyche will be hoping for maximum points this weekend.

Everton team news

Three names are definitiely ruled out for the Toffees as Armando Broja, Youssef Chermiti, and Tim Iroegbunam all remain on the sidelines.

There is also concern around the fitness of James Garner. Dyche will be hoping to have the midfielder available in some capacity but a November return is more likely.

Jarrad Branthwaite is likely to return to the fold. He missed last week’s win against Ipswich but has been training and is in contention to start.

Jesper Lindstrom was also unavailable last week due to illness but is back
