Marco Silva begins Everton reign on the road

Everton will start their new Premier League season with a trip to Wolves.

Marco Silva’s debut campaign in charge is set to begin at Molyneux on the August 11 before welcoming Southampton to Goodison Park a week later.

Silva’s first meeting with Watford since leaving will take place on home soil when his former club travel to Merseyside on Saturday, December 8.

That precedes the first Merseyside derby of the season, with the Blues travelling to Anfield on December 1 before hosting their rivals on March 2.

Tottenham will provide the opposition in Everton’s final fixture on the run-up to Christmas before seeing out the year with successive trips to Burnley and Brighton.

A New Year’s Day encounter with Leicester City will be held at Goodison before rounding off the 2018/19 campaign on the road against Spurs.

All fixtures remain subject to change and TV rescheduling.
