A high-flying Everton cross swords with Fulhamin a fiesty EFL Cup clash at the Goodison Park.
Everton have stunned English football with four back-to-back wins as Sean Dyche’s men have turned around their fortunes since the points deduction.
The Toffees defeated a struggling Burnley side 2-0 as Amadou Onana and Michael Keane bagged a goal a piece to give them three points. The Merseyside outfit would want to continue their scintillating gallop and march through to the next round of the EFL Cup.
Fulham’s winning streak of two consecutive 5-0 wins ended when Newcastle United thumped three goals past them during the weekend.
Raul Jimenez’s early red card saw the Magpies bash three goals past them without reply as Fulham look to revive their goal scoring touch after their Premier League defeat.
