Sports Mole looks at how Fulham could line up for their Premier League encounter at home to Everton on Saturday afternoon.

Fulham will hope to have Andreas Pereira back from a brief injury for the visit of Everton to Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Saturday.

Pereira was missing when Fulham lost 1-0 away to Aston Villa last weekend, in a performance that saw Marco Silva's side offer very little threat in the attacking third.

Having a prolific chance creator in the XI could help Raul Jimenez to break his recent scoring duck, with the Mexican now eight games without a goal, but he does have a good record against Everton, finding the net five times in nine career appearances.

It will be Jimenez in attack, with Rodrigo Muniz set to miss the rest of the season with an Achilles injury, joining Reiss Nelson and Timothy Castagne on the sidelines for the next few weeks.

There are still doubts around Harrison Reed's fitness, as the midfielder is currently doubtful due to a calf strain, but it is unlikely he would have featured ahead of both Sasa Lukic and Sander Berge in the engine room.

Most of Fulham's play is likely going to come through the two ex-Everton players in their lineup, as Alex Iwobi has two goals and two assists in his last five games, and also netted on his return to Goodison, against the club he made 140 appearances for, when the sides met in October.

Left-back Antonee Robinson still ranks higher than any other defender for assists in the Premier League this season, registering 10 in 34 appearances so far, and he started his career at Everton, before dropping down the divisions and working his way back up.

Robinson returned from a minor injury to start in the defeat at Villa Park last weekend, and that saw Ryan Sessegnon move from left-back to right-wing, but the 24-year-old struggled to make much of an impact before being replaced on 57 minutes, so Emile Smith Rowe or Adama Traore could be in the frame to replace him here.

Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Berge; Smith Rowe, Andreas Pereira, Iwobi; Jimenez
