Two key players set to miss Everton games as each of next three opponents see red
Fulham, Southampton and West Ham United each had players sent off during the weekend
After players were sent off from each of the Blues’ next three opponents over the weekend, two important players are expected to miss games against Everton. On Saturday, Fulham travels to League Four, where Marco Silva hopes to defeat Sean Dyche for the fourth time in a row at Goodison Park.
Without Joachim Andersen, the summer acquisition and vital center back, the former Everton manager will have to accomplish it. When he was the final man and Fulham lost to Aston Villa at home, the 28-year-old was sent out for dragging down Ollie Watkins.

Then, Vardy struck from the penalty spot to help Leicester City pull off a victory on the south coast.
Fraser will just miss one match, so he’ll be back when Everton travels for the second time in a couple of weeks. Seven days later, when West Ham United will still be missing Mohammed Kudus, Dyche leads his team to east London.
As West Ham fell 4-1 in the Saturday lunchtime kickoff, the attacker, who so nearly joined Everton two years ago, was issued a red card for raising his arms in the face of Micky van de Ven of Tottenham Hotspur. Thus, Everton’s visit will be the last game of his three-game suspension.
