Everton vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Everton's resulting corner comes to nothing, and Fulham can enjoy a spell of possession inside their own half. It’s been a competitive start here on Merseyside.

HUGE CHANCE! Doucoure somehow finds himself one-on-one with Leno after breaking between Ream and Diop, but the Everton midfielder's finish is too close to the Fulham goalkeeper, who diverts it wide with his right foot. That's a huge opportunity for the hosts.

Iwobi looks for Maupay with a long ball in behind, but Leno is on hand to sweep it up. Fulham then break through Robinson, but his cross is just cut out in front of Wilson at the back post.

It will be intriguing to see how both teams handle big-name absentees here. While Everton always miss Calvert-Lewin when he's out, they are also without the injured Dwight McNeil. Meanwhile, Palhinha was outstanding after joining Fulham from Sporting CP last term and represents a big miss, while both Pereira and Mitrovic are only among the substitutes.

We're under way at Goodison Park as Everton and Fulham get their 2023-24 seasons up and running!

Fulham have faced Everton in their opening game of a top-flight season twice previously and lost both games, losing 3-0 in 1963-64 and 1-0 in 1966-67. Will the Cottagers fare better this time around? The teams are out at Goodison Park, and kick-off is imminent!

Fulham hand a competitive debut to former Wolves striker Jimenez, with Mitrovic starting the season on the bench after publicly flirting with a move to Al-Hilal. Fellow new signing Bassey starts on the bench with Ream keeping his place in defence, while midfielder Palhinha is out with a shoulder issue.

Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the big-name absentee for Everton, having failed to recover from a hamstring injury in time to start the Toffees' season opener. Maupay deputises for him up front, while Young, ironically, becomes the oldest outfielder to debut for a Premier League side since Kevin Phillips (40 years, 24 days) at Crystal Palace in August 2013, at the age of 38 years and 34 days.

FULHAM SUBS: Marek Rodak, Calvin Bassey, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Bobby Decordova-Reid, Andreas Pereira, Kevin Mbabu, Carlos Vinicius, Matthew Dibley-Dias, Jay Stansfield.

FULHAM (4-2-3-1): Bernd Leno; Kenny Tete, Issa Diop, Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson; Harrison Reed, Sasa Lukic; Harry Wilson, Tom Cairney, Willian; Raul Jimenez.
