evertonTV is proving a huge turn-on with fans during pre-season.

The service has already provided live and exclusive streaming of the games against FC Sion and Cambridge United - with a record number of fans logging on to view the games.

But the pre-season matches against Preston North End, Nottingham Forest and PSV Eindhoven are still to come - with exclusive extended highlights from the Blues' two US tour matches in Chicago and Denver.

Leon Osman and Kevin Ratcliffe have been the guest summarisers alongside evertonTV's Darren Griffiths so far - with more notable names to come. The service has proved a hit, courtesy of the high-quality 450kbs video and the partisan coverage from the commentary team that includes messages emailed in from viewers.

Here is just a selection of the hundreds messages the commentary team received on Saturday for the match with Cambridge:
