Everton To Face Bury
Everton confirm they will face League Two side Bury this month.
Everton have confirmed they will face League Two side Bury this month.
The friendly clash, set to take place on Friday 10 July, will be the first prestigious game of Bury's 125 anniversary season.
With a kick-off of 7.45pm, it will be the first opportunity for fans to see David Moyes' men in action this season.
The game will be one of Bury's first since the disappointment of missing out on League One promotion after a defeat to Shrewsbury in the League Two play-offs.
Everton captain Phil Neville told evertonfc.com: "I think everyone knows about my links to the club and it will be a pleasure to go back there.
"I'm sure it will be an enjoyable day but it also represents the first game of what is a very important pre-season for us."
Last time Everton met the Shakers, was in the preseason of 2007. The Blues were 1-0 victors in that game courtesy of a goal from debutant Lukas Jutkiewicz.
Ticket news is expected to be available later this week and will be made available on evertonfc.com.
The Toffees will also play Rochdale, River Plate, the MLS All-Stars, Blackpool, Coventry and Malaga this pre-season.

Mike CampbellI hope this will be a great contribution in a wonderful anniversary year. I am delighted that Phil will be leading us there and will be justifiably proud. We should all remember our roots and history. It is why we are Everton. It is why we are the people's club. It is why we are not Liverpool. It is why we are who we are. It is why we will always be "EVERTON"!
