Everton predicted lineup vs Fulham: James Rodriguez returns, Joshua King starts
Seamus Coleman could return to the starting lineup.
Defence:
Right back: Seamus Coleman
Seamus Coleman played 65 minutes against Spurs in the FA Cup and could start against Fulham. Ancelotti may go with Coleman on Sunday and keep Mason Holgate ready for midweek clash against Manchester City. The Irishman may not be in his best form but has the capabilities to do the job required on offensive and defensive front.
Centre back: Michael Keane
Michael Keane is without a doubt, Ancelotti’s go to centre back and should retain his place in the starting lineup. One of the most reliable players this season, Keane has been a lion in the heart of the defence. He could be set for a battle with the likes of Aleksandar Mitrovic and Josh Maja, who could be handed a Fulham debut.
Centre back: Yerry Mina
Yerry Mina and Mitrovic can produce a thrilling physical battle throughout the game. The Colombian didn’t have a sound game defensively against Spurs and will be keen to rack up a strong display and potentially help the Toffees keep a clean sheet.
Left back: Lucas Digne
After a dry performance against Newcastle United at home, Lucas Digne has bounced back strongly putting up notable performances against Leeds United and Spurs. The Frenchman is close to signing a new deal with the club which is certainly brilliant news for all the fans. Digne was said to be a target for Manchester City but with the former Barcelona man penning a new deal, this should put an end to all the floating rumours.
