Everton add Goodison to pre-season schedule

Everton have confirmed the final details of their pre-season schedule.

Sean Dyche’s side will face five opponents from home and abroad in the run-up to their Premier League curtain-raiser against Fulham on August 12.

The Blues kick off their summer preparations with a friendly against Stade Nyonnais in Switzerland on July 14 before travelling to Wigan eight days later.

An allocation of 500 tickets has been made available for fans planning to make the trip to Nyon for their team’s opening pre-season fixture.

Two more domestic trips are scheduled against Bolton on July 25 and Stoke City on July 29 before Goodison Park hosts a final preamble on August 5.

Sporting Lisbon will provide the opposition as former Everton right-back Ruben Vinagre is set to return to the club where he spent last season on loan.
