Fulham vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
Fulham’s scoring woes continued as their missed opportunities saw them held to a goalless Premier League draw with Everton at Craven Cottage.
After last week’s exit from both the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, the west Londoners failed to bounce back with a win over an Everton side, who now sit in the bottom three following Luton’s 4-0 victory over Brighton.
Raul Jimenez, who scored four goals in December, could not replicate last month’s success before Rodrigo Muniz was largely anonymous when called upon in the second half.

It's been end-to-end stuff so far with both sides attempting two shots and taking a corner each. Fulham are clearly still trying to work out Everton, considering Dyche's side have one natural central midfielder on the pitch. McNeil is lining up in an unfamiliar central role, with Godfrey at right-back and Young just ahead of him on the right-hand side of midfield.

What a chance! Godfrey receives his throw-in back from Young and hooks the ball into the penalty area. Calvert-Lewin does well to hold off the defender and lays it into the path of Harrison just inside the box. The Everton winger strikes it, but he can't quite curl it into the far corner. He should be hitting the target from there!

Meanwhile, Dyche has made three alterations from Everton’s previous Premier League game against Aston Villa. Club captain Seamus Coleman misses out, so Young will return from injury to slot in on the right-hand side. Abdoulaye Doucoure and Amadou Onana are also unavailable, with Godfrey and McNeil coming into the starting XI.

Silva has made two changes from Fulham’s last Premier League fixture against Chelsea earlier in the month. At right-back, Tete has dropped to the bench, with Castagne coming into the starting XI. Further forward, De Cordova-Reid replaces Harry Wilson, who fails to make the squad.
