Everton predicted line-up vs Fulham - as Sean Dyche switches formation again amid three changes - gallery

Everton team predicted to face Fulham in the Premier League at Craven Cottage.

Everton make the trip to Fulham tonight (19.45 GMT) hoping they aim to climb away from the Premier League relegation zone.

The Toffees' only focus this season now remains in the top flight after they exited the FA Cup at the hands of Luton Town last weekend. A last-gasp 2-1 loss was disappointing amid a largely disappointing performance at Goodison Park.

However, remaining in the top flight is the priority for Sean Dyche's side. A 10-point deduction for breaching profit and sustainability rules has plunged Everton into another scrap, having narrowly avoided the drop in the past two seasons.

The Toffees currently sit one point and one place above the bottom three and have won only one of their past eight games in all competitions. However, the Blues' away form has been good this term - it's the sixth best in the Premier League - and they can take confidence heading to Craven Cottage.

Dyche again has injury problems to contend with, however. Top-scorer Abdoulaye Doucoure is sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Andre Gomes has suffered a calf setback. Seamus Coleman is another doubt, while Idrissa Gana Gueye is absent again as he's been on African Cup of Nations duty with Senegal - who are now out of the tournament after losing to Ivory Coast on penalties in the last 16.

Regardless, Dyche may be looking at making changes to his side that lost to Luton. Ahead of the clash against Fulham, here's the Everton team predicted.
