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:

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...

The Goodison Park crowd is getting a little restless. However, that double chance has woken Everton up a bit. The home side are holding onto the ball a bit better but they're still yet to really test Bernd Leno in the Fulham goal.

HUGE CHANCES! Everton are let off the hook! Mykolenko who has struggled in the opening half hour, gives the ball away on the edge of his own box and Pereira slips in the pacey Traore. However, despite the angle being tight, the winger gets his fierce shot away but Pickford parries it away. Fulham keep up the pressure as Jimenez nods the ball down for Smith Rowe a few yards out but the midfielder gets underneath it and blazes over from a good position.

SAVE! McNeil's delivery from deep finds Keane at the back post and Doucoure tries a header at goal but it's straight at Leno. Since Sean Dyche’s first Premier League games in charge of Everton, only Arsenal (33) have scored more goals via set pieces (excl. pens) than the Toffees (27). The hosts may feel their best chances will come from set pieces.

Fulham's Iwobi swings in a cross into the box but it's too high for Pereira and Jimenez, and Pickford claims easily. At the other end, Calvert-Lewin has struggled to make an impact in the opening quarter of this game with the striker looking a lonely figure up front.
