Everton face Crystal Palace on Saturday in their opening Premier League fixture at Selhurst Park.
Marco Silva will be looking to get off to a fine start to the season, with many of his new recruits likely to be on display.
Roy Hodgson meanwhile will also be looking to start the season strong, having made a number of recruits of his own, including Everton’s James McCarthy.
Much was made of Wilfried Zaha’s proposed move from Palace to Merseyside over the past few days, but with the Ivory Coast international having remained in Croydon, it remains to be seen whether he will play for the club or not, having got back from his extended holiday late.
With both clubs eager to quickly build momentum, the game will likely be an entertaining one for both sets of fans.
