Can Everton take European push to the end of the season?
· Yahoo Sports
The news Everton start the season at home with a 3pm kick off on a Saturday is cause for celebration for fans before a ball has been kicked. Last season, the Toffees had just four 3pm games on a Saturday at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

First up, Crystal Palace under new boss Pierre Sage will mean tougher prep for David Moyes and his staff as they work out how a new-look Palace will operate. Last time out on Merseyside, Everton came from behind to win thanks to a 93rd minute Jack Grealish goal.
The first away trip is a 265-mile journey to Bournemouth, who have been a problematic side for Everton in recent seasons. After three defeats on the bounce at Vitality stadium, the Blues did break the curse last season thanks to another Grealish winner.
There were no bragging rights after the first Merseyside derby at Hill Dickinson in April, but Moyes' side can go again with the meeting coming sooner on the weekend of 28 November. The reverse sees Liverpool host the fiery match on the 30 January.
Everton's 2025-26 season fizzled out, much to the disappointment of supporters as they watched the side fail to win a game in April and May. They will hope a successful European push goes to the end of the 2026-27 campaign with the final run seeing the Toffees close the home season against current champions Arsenal and their final game will be at promoted Ipswich Town.
