Fulham at Everton

Fulham makes their first trip to Everton's new stadium on Saturday. Kickoff from the Hill Dickson Stadium will be at 10am EST on USA Network.

Everton have done pretty well at their new home with just one loss against Tottenham and wins against Brighton and Palace. They sit just a point above Fulham in the table so this is a chance for Fulham to make a statement about where this season is headed. Beating 10-man Wolves at home was good just to put an end to the four game skid, but this will be a much clearer test of Fulham's potential. Fulham will come into this with just Robinson out so Silva should be able to put together his strongest squad. Will this version of Fulham be able to show the capability of moving up the table? Or will they struggle and leave us with the conclusion that 15th place may be appropriate for Fulham?

I really hope Fulham finally live up to the potential that we've seen. I'd like to see King, Iwobi, and Berger in the midfield although I suspect Silva will choose differently. I'd also prefer to see Kevin and Chukwueze on the wings despite Wilson finding the net last week. I think those options with Raul or Muniz up top will give Fulham the highest possibility of some early success against Everton.

 

One has to worry at this point whether Jedi's injury isn't career-threatening.

Like @MicahMan, I also suspect Silva will set us up in the usual 4231, even if I would like to see a more attacking posture.
