Fulham
Jean Tigana has only the injured Steve Marlet to worry about at the
moment. Steve continues his recovery from a leg francture in the knee area
and is hoping to be available by the New Year
The team is therefore likely to be as for the Leeds games.
The Fulham bosswill be looking for goals from the Super Whites after firing
blanks in their last two Premiership games.
Fulham (from):
Edwin van der Sar(G),
Steve Finnan(D), Andy Melville(D), Alain Goma(D), Rufus Brevett(D),
Luis Boa Morte(A/M), Sylvain Legwinski(M), Steed Malbranque(M), John Collins(M),

Everton
Jesper Blomqvist could make his first senior appearance since the 1999 Champions
League Final for Everton at Fulham.
Blomqvist, who joined Everton last month on a free transfer from
Manchester United, has been building up his match fitness in the reserves
and has been added to the squad for the game at Craven Cottage.
Abel Xavier is Everton's only selection doubt because of a bout of the flu,
while injured duo Duncan Ferguson and Kevin Campbell are still weeks away
from returning.
Ever (from): Simonsen, Gerrard, Weir, Stubbs, Naysmith, Pistone, Unsworth,
Pembridge, Gemmill, Gravesen, Alexandersson, Gascoigne, Watson, Radzinski,
Blomqvist, Moore, Xavier.
Topmen
Fulham have three top goal goal scorers in the Premiership Bazza Hayles
(4), Steed Malbranque(4) and Louis Saha (4) with Louis and Barry still neck
and neck with shots on target.. There has been no change in the best Passer
and Tackler sections apart from seeing Sean Davis entering the leader board
for successful passes.
Everton's most troublesome players in and around the goal, Kevin Campbell
and Duncan Ferguson, are both on the injured list so will not cause any
problems for Fulham on Saturday. Tomasz Radzinski is the next danger man
with 3 goals to his credit so far. Paul Gascoigne, reported as fully fit,
is likely to figure for Everton and is still capable of moments of magic.
