Why it matters
It provides essential context for sports fans following the Premier League, detailing team news and tactical adjustments.
Everton open their Premier League campaign at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hosting a Crystal Palace side beginning a new era under Pierre Sage.
David Moyes will be desperate for a positive start after a run of seven games without a win closed out last season and cost Everton a place in Europe. A kind opening fixture against a transitioning Palace side offers exactly that opportunity.
Moyes confirmed at his pre-match press conference that James Garner is "returning from a hernia operation" and will not be involved. Tim Iroegbunam will also miss out, with the manager explaining: "Tim Iroegbunam has an abductor strain so won't make it tomorrow."
