Marco Silva could have Fulham duo Jorge Cuenca and Carlos Vinicius available ahead of the fixture against Everton on 26 October in the Premier League.

The Toffees will welcome the West London club to Goodison Park, with Sean Dyche looking for back-to-back wins after beating Ipswich Town 2-0.

Fulham will be without Sasa Lukic and Timothy Castagne, as they are still recovering from their injuries, while Joachim Andersen is suspended for the tie [FFC, 24 October].

Everton take on Fulham in Premier League

Cuenca and Vinicius' potential inclusion in Silva's squad shouldn't change much in terms of how Everton may approach the game.

The Spaniard has been a bit part player this season for the Cottagers, making just two appearances so far in the EFL Cup.

On the other hand, Vinicius hasn't touched a ball so far in the current campaign, and Raul Jimenez will likely start in the number nine position against the Toffees.

However, Andersen's absence is unarguably a big blow for Fulham after he picked up a red card against Aston Villa, and the Merseysiders could take advantage of it.

The Danish national has started in the last five league fixtures for Silva's team, and it will be interesting to see who the Portuguese manager will replace him with.

Dyche has Iliman Ndiaye going into the match full of confidence after his goal against Ipswich, while Michael Keane and James Tarkowski have formed a resolute partnership at the back.

Everton go into this sixteenth in the table and a win over the Cottagers could push them further up the Premier League table.
