Everton have seen two of their early Premier League games altered for TV coverage.
Successive fixtures in September have been moved in line with broadcaster demands and will begin with Ronald Koeman’s side visiting Sunderland on Monday, September 12.
That will be followed by the visit of newly-promoted Middlesbrough on September 17, with the Goodison Park encounter earmarked for a 5.30pm kick-off.
Also set to be changed will be the Blues’ trip to Southampton due to the involvement of Koeman’s former club in this season’s Europa League.
The new date of that November 26 fixture at St Mary’s has yet to be confirmed.
