How's Luton's detox going, Scott?
Derm
For context Luton Town currently sit in the Championship relegation zone, in 22nd place with 11 points after 12 games.

Again, Gueye coming round and making a brilliant tackle.
That is brilliant play down the wing by Reiss Nelson, by the way.
Everton 0-1 Fulham
A great run by Reiss Nelson down the left. He bursts into the box and looks to have got past Idrissa Gueye but the Everton midfielder produces a fantastic tackle.

Scott, the problem is, you're not an Everton supporter. You've not watched our shoddy financial mismanagement by Moshiri and Kenwright. Clearing the decks sounds nice until you grasp that relegation, while possibly deserved, would be apocalyptic for the club.

Everton 0-1 Fulham
The clock is ticking for Everton with just over 15 minutes left. Sean Dyche is looking frustrated as he tries to figure out how to spur his side on. They've just not quite been at it today.

I appreciate the job Dyche has done. But you've got to ask if the manager getting the best out of the squad. And I think he only gets the best out of 3 or 4 of them

Sander Berge has been very good. He has sat in there, he's won the ball, he's controlled possession.
He has been very good.

A bit better from Everton as Dwight McNeil's ball through the defence has a bit too much for Jesper Lindstrom.

If I was an Everton supporter, I’d be looking at Villa and Newcastle thinking they had to go down to clear decks. Detoxify. Come back stronger.

Both sides make a change. Fulham replace Adama Traore with Reiss Nelson, while Jesper Lindstrom is on for Jack Harrison for the hosts.

Why would DCL want to stay at Everton? Long ball hoofs for him to flick on with no support. Awful tactics once again from Dyche.
Andy in Liverpool
Everton 0-1 Fulham
Andreas Pereira goes in strongly on Idrissa Gueye just outside the Everton box and the whistle goes for a foul. Pereira feels he got enough of the ball, but a free-kick looks fair.
Everton 0-1 Fulham
Fulham are on the hunt for a second. Alex Iwobi drives at the defence, works the ball out wide to Antonee Robinson and his low cross is pushed away by Jordan Pickford.

Arsenal wouldn't be having nearly the same amount of problems we're currently having in midfield if we had kept Smith Rowe. Just look what he's done for Fulham's goal there.

That litle bit of quality we have been looking for.
It's an outstanding run from Smith-Rowe and he just feeds Alex Iwobi. He shows great composure to step inside the box and find that bottom corner.
Outstanding finish.

Alex Iwobi fires in against his old club and doesn't celebrate.
Boss Sean Dyche said in Thursday's pre-match news conference that he did not want to sell the Nigeria international but had to because of the financial terms on offer.
Now the forward has come back to haunt his former side.
Alex Iwobi
Against his former club!
Superb play by first Emile Smith Rowe as he gets away from a couple of Everton players and surges towards the box. He passes to Alex Iwobi, who makes some space for himself on the edge of the box and tucks the ball home at Jordan Pickford's near post.

Bernd Leno gets down well to snatch Vitaliy Mykolenko's low ball across the face of goal. He had to be alert for that one.

Everton boss Sean Dyche is out of his technical area to applaud Ashley Young's canny, little header back to Jordan Pickford.
The Blues defenders could have tied themselves in knots there but the veteran full-back did well.

Conor was commentating after Iliman Ndiaye used his trickery to get away from three Fulham players before passing out wide, but nothing ultimately came of it. It did briefly provide some excitement for the home fans, however.

Everton were unbeaten in their first 27 home league games against Fulham between 1949 and 2018 (W23 D4), winning each of the last 22 of those. Since then, they’ve lost their last three at home to the Cottagers.
Fulham are unbeaten in their last five Premier League games against Everton (W3 D2), keeping four clean sheets in the process. All three of those wins in that run have come at Goodison Park.
Since losing their first four Premier League matches this season, Everton are unbeaten in four games (W2 D2). Only once have the Toffees gone five unbeaten under Sean Dyche, doing so in April and May this year.
Fulham have scored the first goal in each of their last five Premier League games (W2 D1 L2), although they’ve lost the last two. Only six teams have lost three in a row after scoring first, most recently Sheffield United in April and May last season.
Everton have kept six clean sheets in their last seven Premier League games in October (W4 D2 L1), including both games this season. Since the 2022-23 season, the Toffees have averaged 0.75 points per game in August and September (P20 W3 D6 L11) compared to 1.55 points per game in October (W5 D2 L4).
Since Sean Dyche’s first Premier League games in charge of Everton, only Arsenal (33) have scored more goals via set pieces (excl. pens) than the Toffees (27).
Fulham manager Marco Silva has won each of his last two away Premier League games against Everton, whom he managed 53 times between August 2018 and December 2019. In Premier League history, the only manager to win away at his former club more than twice in a row was Harry Redknapp at West Ham between 2006 and 2009 (five in a row).
Everton have made just 22 substitutions in the Premier League this season, fewer than any other side. Since the 2014-15 season, among managers to take charge of 50+ games, Sean Dyche has made the fewest subs per game of any manager (2.4).
Dwight McNeil has been involved in six goals in his last six Premier League appearances (3 goals, 3 assists) for Everton. He’s only the third Toffees player with three goals and three assists in the opening eight games of a season, after Francis Jeffers in 1999-00 and James Rodriguez in 2020-21.
Raúl Jiménez has scored or assisted in each of his last five Premier League appearances for Fulham (4 goals, 1 assist). No Cottagers player has done so in six games in a row, while only three players have scored or assisted in six in a row aged 33 or older: Gus Poyet aged 34 in 2001, Dennis Bergkamp aged 35 in 2004 and Zlatan Ibrahimovic aged 35 in 2017.
