View: Richarlison could return after suspension – Everton predicted XI v Fulham
Everton take on Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Sunday, with Carlo Ancelotti’s side looking to get back on track following three consecutive defeats.
After starting the season unbeaten from their opening five games, defeats to Southampton, Newcastle United and Manchester United have seen them fall to seventh in the table.
However, Richarlison is back from suspension and should start in London, while their opponents Fulham have won just once this season.
In goal, expect Jordan Pickford to continue, despite Ancelotti choosing to rotate him with summer signing Robin Olsen for the match against Newcastle. Both started for their respective international sides this week, but the England man remains first choice.
At full-back, Lucas Digne and Seamus Coleman may continue, while Michael Keane could continue to be partnered by Mason Holgate, despite conceding three against United. Yerry Mina was dropped after his display against Newcastle and experienced a tough night for Colombia as they lost 3-0 to Uruguay, where he was sent off.
Allan picked up a knock on international duty with Brazil and is unlikely to be risked, which could see Fabian Delph come in, while Andre Gomes could be preferred to Gylfi Sigurdsson who was taken off after 67 minutes against United following an unconvincing display. The Iceland international had just 37 touches, making one key pass, but otherwise not being overly involved (via WhoScored).
Up top, Dominic Calvert-Lewin will probably continue, flanked by James Rodriguez on the right and the returning Richarlison from the left. The 23-year-old scored for Brazil as they beat Uruguay on Tuesday and has now served his suspension following a straight red against Liverpool.
