Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
Follow live coverage as Fulham face Everton today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Fulham vs Everton
SHOT FROM SESSEGNON BLOCKED!! Smith Rowe cushions a beautiful volley into the path of Sessegnon on the Fulham left. He feeds Iwobi who takes the ball and diverts it back to the full-back, who shoots from a wide angle. The shot has Pickford spreading his frame and blocking it out. Another shot on target for the home side.
Fulham vs Everton
A succession of Everton corners gives Fulham a bit of defending to do. Not much in the way of joined up attacks, but at least a bit of pressure now mounting.

Another long, direct ball from Branthwaite finds its home; the head of Harrison. A neat one-two ends up with a deflection from a Fulham player. A corner for Everton and a chance for a bit of pressure.

A lovely straight ball from Sessegnon momentarily allows Jimenez to drift between Branthwaite and Keane. He pokes it away from both players, but is forced too wide and the attack ends.

Fulham's Harry Wilson had five shots in that first half. As many as Everton managed throughout their whole team.

Everton would have been looking towards their bench to change the game before that moment in injury time. They have struggled with scoring goals this season, but they do have some firepower on the bench, with Calvert-Lewin, McNeil and Ndiaye poised to make an impact. For Fulham, they haven't done too much wrong, but conceding so late in the first half will have irked Marco Silva. The plus point of that half, was seeing Jimenez break his slight barron spell by getting his 13th goal in all competitions.
Fulham vs Everton
Everton will be delighted to go in 1-1 after Fulham looked in control for much of that first half. Fulham's early dominance saw a couple of warning shots fired by Wilson and Iwobi before they got their noses in front with the poaching instincts of Jimenez ensuring he got in ahead of Mykolenko at the far post. The Ukranian managed to make amends just before half-time though as Everton tried to press higher up the pitch. They got their reward in injury time as the full-back hit a shot that was diverted in by Pereira. Everton got on the scoresheet inspite of only managing an xG of 0.22 in that first period. Fulham managed a marginally better xG of 0.52.
