Everton open their 2026/27 Premier League campaign at the Hill Dickinson tomorrow, hosting Crystal Palace in a fixture David Moyes’ side have dominated in recent years. The Toffees are unbeaten in 11 meetings with Palace across all competitions since May 2022, but they’ve lost their opening-day fixture in each of the last four top-flight seasons […]
It was ten versus ten by the end. A proper Merseyside derby, some would say. Everton U21s and Liverpool U21s shared a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park on the opening day of the Premier League 2 season, but it was most notable for a late bundle that led to Braiden Graham’s red card. Liverpool went […]
Everton are less than 24 hours away from beginning their 2026/27 Premier League campaign, with Crystal Palace heading to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The eve of the new season brought a revealing press conference from David Moyes, who addressed Everton’s transfer position, the ongoing search for a right-back and an injury list which […]
Everton have had two separate bids for Strasbourg right-back Guela Doue turned down, according to our friends at EFC Home, with the two clubs still some distance apart on valuation. Everton and Strasbourg are said to disagree over a fee in the region of £40m — the same price tag that’s been attached to Doue […]
David Moyes has given the clearest update yet on the Everton right-back search, confirming in his pre-Palace press conference that the club have identified targets but are being held back by budget. On right backs… “We’ve identified a few we like,” Moyes said, though he stopped short of naming most of them. Merlin Rohl and […]
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has given Everton fans one of the more revealing (and amusing) quotes of pre-season, admitting his preference for the smallest shin pads he can get away with has nothing to do with comfort. It’s all about the calves. Shin pads are compulsory under the laws of the game, but plenty of players push […]
Everton host Crystal Palace at the Hill Dickinson Stadium this weekend in a fixture that has, of late, been oddly one-sided. But it wasn’t always that way, and the roots of this rivalry go back over a century. Where it all started The first six meetings between these two clubs were all FA Cup ties, […]
James Tarkowski has written his first programme notes as permanent Everton captain, ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League opener against Crystal Palace. It tells you plenty about where this club thinks it’s at going into 2026/27. Following Seamus… The armband was never really in doubt once Seamus Coleman called it a day this summer after 17 […]
Let’s be honest. Plenty of you aren’t happy with how this club’s been run. Moyes gets it in the neck from some. The Friedkins get it from others. Fair enough — you’ve earned the right to moan after everything you’ve been through. That’s not stopping, and it shouldn’t. But not this weekend. Not for ninety-plus […]
Ashley Williams has gone after Everton on talkSPORT, calling it “boring” being a Toffees fan right now and putting a ceiling of 13th on what the club can realistically hope for this season. Three years at Goodison between 2016 and 2019 means Williams isn’t an outsider lobbing this grenade in from nowhere — he’s had […]
Jason Cundy has taken aim at Everton again, telling talkSPORT listeners the club “don’t do anything” and just “hang around” in the Premier League. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard this from Cundy and his talkSPORT colleagues. He’s built a career on hot takes about clubs he clearly hasn’t watched very closely, […]
