Everton will lock horns with Fulham at Craven Cottage this Saturday evening as they try to pick up a good result on their travels. The Toffees managed to secure a dominant 3-0 win over Crystal Palace which will give them a lot of confidence ahead of this game.
Frank Lampard will probably set his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and could keep changes to a minimum for this game. Hence, we can once again expect to see Dominic Calvert-Lewin spearhead Lampard’s attack in the final third.
4-2-3-1 Everton Predicted Lineup To Face Fulham
Defence
Jordan Pickford will function in goal for the Cottagers after securing a clean sheet in his last league outing. Conor Coady will resume his defensive partnership with James Tarkowski at the centre of Everton’s defence as they look to keep things solid at the back throughout the game.
Seamus Coleman will operate at right-back while Vitaliy Mykolenko hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them could get the license to get forward and express themselves in the opponent’s half.
Nathan Patterson is unlikely to recover in time for this game but Michael Keane will be named on the bench as he offers cover for the defensive positions.
Midfield
Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gueye will operate as the holding midfielders as they try to offer decent cover for their teammates at the back and move the ball around well at the centre of the park.
The gifted trio of Demarai Gray, Alex Iwobi and Anthony Gordon will play just ahead of them as part of Everton’s attack. Both Gray and Gordon have to figure out a way to stretch the opposition backline and supply some decent service to Dominic Calvert-Lewin up top.
Dwight McNeil and Abdoulaye Doucoure will be available for selection on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the line for the Merseyside club in the final third. The English striker managed to get his name on the scoresheet in his last outing and would be looking forward to producing a similar display when he laces up to face off against the Fulham centre-backs this weekend.
Neal Maupay and Salomon Rondon will have to settle for a place on the bench but might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if required.
