Everton vs Fulham: Three could miss out on Premier League clash amid injury latest
Everton are looking to get back on track when they host Fulham on Saturday.
David Moyes is starting to come under pressure at Everton, as they have won just one of their last eight matches in all competitions.
The Scotsman could join an exclusive Premier League club alongside Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger if his side can get the victory at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
However, both sides have injury issues heading into the clash on 8 November.
Everton have no new injury concerns for Fulham contest
Iliman Ndiaye will be fit for the contest, after he was an injury doubt this week.
Moyes confirmed that the Senegal international has trained and should feature in the contest against the Londoners.
- Ndiaye has featured 12 times with four goals and one assist this season
- That is despite him being shifted to the right to accommodate Jack Grealish
- He would have been a huge absence for Moyes’ side
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, he said: “He’s fine, he trained today, so hopefully everything is okay.”
Jarrad Branthwaite and Nathan Patterson remain sidelines for the Blues, but there are no other injury concerns.

Who is out for Fulham for Everton clash?
Former Everton boss Marco Silva is in charge of the Cottagers, and he shared an update on several players ahead of his return to Merseyside.
Antonee Robinson is the only player who is missing for the visitors, and Silva refused to give a timeline on his return.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, he confirmed that the American was “getting better” but “can’t give even a timescale now”
Rodrigo Muniz is fit enough to start the clash, after he featured for just 18 minutes against Wolves last time out.
- Muniz has played six league matches this season, with one goal and one assist
- He bagged eight goals and one assist in 31 matches in the competition last season
- He will be the danger man for the visitors
Silva said: “Probably, if he is going to start, he is not in his best physicalness to play 90 minutes, but he can play 60 or 70 as well. It is up to me to decide, but he is getting better. It has been a good week for him.”
The Portuguese manager will be keen to get one over on his former club and extend their recent misery, but Moyes and Co. must stop them.
If he wants the Toffees to be anywhere near the top-half, they need to start winning soon, or they will have no chance.
