Follow all the action from Goodison Park
Follow live coverage as Everton face Fulham today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Everton vs Fulham
The lack of cutting edge from both teams has been clear to see in the opening 45 minutes. Everton have struggled to create anything meaningful in front of goal despite Gueye’s effort with the hosts having an xG of 0.28, while the visitors have performed a little better from an attacking point of view with an xG of 0.99.

The half-time whistle blows at Goodison Park with both teams level at the break. Fulham have dominated for large parts in the opening 45 minutes and should be ahead but their wasteful finishing in front of goal has been evident. However, despite that Everton have arguably come closest to scoring. Gueye’s shot smashed off the crossbar and the rebound was finished by Calvert-Lewin but the forward was adjudged to have been offside. The Opta predictor has Fulham as slight favourites to take the three points from here with a 33% chance, while the hosts have a 30% chance of winning the game.

OVER! Another fantastic cross from Fulham comes to nothing. Traore who has looked bright in the opening 45 minutes, delivers and Jimenez once again leaves it this time to Iwobi but the winger chests the ball down and blasts well over.

CLOSE! Fulham go up the other end as Pereira feeds Traore down the right. The explosive winger hangs a cross up towards the back post. Jimenez gets the shout from Smith Rowe to leave it but the latter's touch is poor and the chance goes begging.

SAVE! Mykolenko drives down the left and whips a brilliant ball into the box. McNeil has the run on Robinson at the back post but the Everton winger nods his effort towards goal but it's too close to Leno, who holds comfortably. Another opening for the hosts comes to nothing.

ANOTHER BLOCK! The game is starting to open up really nicely after a slow start from both teams. This time, Fulham break forward as Jimenez enters the box and cuts inside but the Mexican's shot is blocked well by the Everton defender. This is anyone's game now!

BLOCK! Everton have come alive! McNeil threads a delicate ball for Harrison near the byline. The former Leeds United man hangs a teasing cross up to Calvert-Lewin at the back post and his header is diverted behind for a corner. The home side are now piling on the pressure and the home faithful are loving every second of it.

OVER! Fulham drive up the other end after that VAR decision with Tete going on a fantastic solo run. However, the Dutchman fires over Pickford's top corner. This game has come to life after a poor opening 25 minutes.

GOAL DISALLOWED! Gueye cracks a brilliant effort off the crossbar and the rebound falls kindly to Calvert-Lewin, who smashes his finish past Leno. However, the offside flag goes up. VAR checks and confirms the on field decision. The score remains 0-0 but that was extremely close...
