Everton’s third kit was revealed this morning and the Liverpool Echo focus on the ‘football smart’ nature of the kit.

The new strip intends to be more wearable for fans, it reports, with football shirts becoming part of the modern-day fan’s casual wear.

The local paper also chooses to analyse The Toffees' starting eleven the last time we played Aston Villa, to highlight how far Everton have come amidst Farhad Moshiri’s investment.

The Guardian have opted to focus on Marco Silva’s comments on Richarlison and Yerry Mina improving their English skills.

In the manager’s latest press conference, he made it clear that he would like all Everton players to speak English in the dressing room, citing this as key for the Club to perform better and to have a greater knowledge of what is going on around them.

Elsewhere, Sky Sports have offered an in-depth preview of Friday night’s match, with the most played fixture in English football due to kick off once more, at 8pm.
