After a turbulent summer, Fulham are finally back in Premier League action this afternoon with a trip to Everton.
Despite such a strong showing last time out and ending their tendency to yo-yo between the top flight and the Championship, it has been a difficult close-season for Marco Silva.
Star man Aleksandr Mitrovic is keen to leave, while Willian is tempted by a move to Saudi Arabia too despite only recently signing a new contract.
Everton, meanwhile, are set for their first full season under Sean Dyche having stayed up on the final day last time out.
