Marcelo Biela’s side enjoyed a promising start on their return to the top flight, however, back-to-back defeats prior to the international break served a reminder of the challenges to come. Ten points from eight games is hardly disastrous, though, and in Patrick Bamford Leeds boast one of England’s most prolific strikers on current form.

For all Mikel Arteta’s sweeping changes at Arsenal, they are still a side afflicted by wild swings of inconsistency. Their fabulous victory over Manchester United sent spirits sky-rocketing but a horrendous thrashing by Aston Villa proved why Arsenal remain very much a work in progress. They begin the game in 14th place and need a strong series of results to bolster their top four credentials. Follow all the action below live:
Fulham 1 - 1 Everton - De Cordova-Reid
15 mins: GOAL! Fulham are back in it! A one-two between De Cordova-Reid and Cairney gets the Fulham forward into the box and past Yerry Mina. He takes the ball on his right foot and slots it to Pickford’s right to score.
Fulham 0 - 1 Everton
12 mins: A nice give and go down the right wing from Everton gives Iwobi a bit of space out wide. He crosses the ball into the area and Aina doesn’t deal with it. The ball almost falls to Calvert-Lewin but Areola is able to scoop it up before he gets there.
Fulham 0 - 1 Everton
6 mins: Fulham win a free kick in Everton’s half over on the right side. Tom Cairney curls the set piece into the box but it’s headed clear by the visitors.
Fulham 0 - 1 Everton
3 mins: That goal was the quickest in the Premier League so far this season, it’s a perfect start for Everton.
A long ball up the pitch from Jordan Pickford comes to Richarlison on Everton’s left wing and he is brought down for a free kick.
Fulham 0 - 1 Everton - Calvert-Lewin
Kick off: GOAL! What a start! Everton are in front less than a minute after the kick off! Bobby De Cordova-Reid loses the ball deep in his own half and Richarlison takes it into the box. He squares it and a deflection knocks the ball to Dominic Calvert-Lewin and he fumbles the ball into the back of the net.
The teams head out onto the pitch at Craven Cottage, kick off is next…
Everton have not lost a single game this season when James Rodriguez, Richarlison & Dominic Calvert-Lewin have all started together.
They've played six, won five.
Fulham are the only side yet to score in the opening 15 minutes of their Premier League games this season.
They have also conceded five times in the opening quarter of an hour, the highest figure in the top flight.
The home side conceded 10 goals in their opening three league matches, but have only let in five in their subsequent five fixtures.
Fulham manager Scott Parker was full of praise for Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti in his pre-game press conference saying:
“Carlo Ancelotti is an incredible coach, his CV and what he’s done in the game as a manager speaks for itself, so it’s not a surprise in any way that he’s gone in at Everton and is doing as well as they are.
“They’ve got a manager there who’s world class. Likewise with their squad of players, there’s some fantastic football players.
“I think they’ve invested and bought very well in the summer. They’ve got a real good strength and balance in terms of what they’re about.”
