Please see below key information for fans attending Tuesday’s Carabao Cup fixture against Fulham at Goodison Park (KO 7.45pm).
FANS URGED TO ARRIVE EARLY
Supporters attending Tuesday’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against Fulham are encouraged to arrive at Goodison Park in plenty of time to avoid queues at the turnstiles and, therefore, potential delays entering the stadium.
Tuesday’s match is a sell-out, meaning a capacity crowd is expected to watch the Blues bid for a place in the competition’s last four.
