Everton vs Fulham
WHAT A CHANCE! Iwobi's teasing cross is headed down by Doucoure, and it reaches Maupay six yards out. He looks destined to open the scoring, but Leno smothers his shot and it bounces wide. That's a huge let-off for Fulham!

Fulham look menacing as Wilson strides inside from the right, but a terrible pass gives Cairney no chance. Everton then break through Iwobi, but Ream cuts out his pass towards Maupay. Both teams need more composure in the final third.

We're past the half-hour mark at Goodison and we've seen little by way of goalmouth action. Doucoure forced a save from Leno five minutes in, and that remains the only shot on target at either end.

Onana's delivery reaches Tarkowski at the far post… but the angle is against the defender, and he can only hook the ball into Leno's gloves.

Fulham have had 78 per cent of the possession this far but have done precious little with it. Everton's high press has made things awkward for the visitors.

Fulham have won three of their last five Premier League games against Everton (D1 L1), as many as they had in their previous 18 against them (D2 L13). They're looking to win consecutive league meetings with the Toffees for the first time since August 2005, having triumphed 3-1 on this ground in April.

Willian looks to beat Patterson on the outside and hit the byline, but the former Arsenal and Chelsea man overruns it, and Everton get a goal-kick.

Wilson bends a pass out towards Willian on the left flank, but it bounces harmlessly over the Brazilian's head and out. That rather sums up the Cottagers' attacking efforts early on.
