An extensive feature interview with Tom Davies headlines Everton’s matchday programme for Saturday’s visit of Brighton & Hove Albion.

Ex-Everton full-back Earl Barrett is the subject of our former player article and Dominic Calvert-Lewin addresses a host of subjects in another insightful piece.

Carlo Ancelotti reveals his “immediate priority” as Everton boss in the Italian’s notes and the manager’s compatriot Moise Kean answers a range of questions in our Random feature.

Midfielder Davies details his first few weeks under Ancelotti and outlines the personal advances he wants to make in Everton’s midfield.

The 21-year-old also talks about life away from the pitch, explaining how his mood is impacted by events at Everton, admitting he feels “fresher and cleaner” after switching to a vegetarian diet and revealing why he got a shock when turning 21 back in June.

Defender Barrett joined Everton from Aston Villa in January 1995 and stayed three years. He talks about the physical issues and racism he overcame to play for 16 years at the top end of his sport. The three-cap England international also explains how he emerged from a post-retirement slump to embark on a successful and ongoing coaching career.

Calvert-Lewin has been in tremendous form of late with five strikes in his past six Premier League games.

The former England Under-21 international alights on the reasons for that goal rush and discusses the imperative of maintaining his prolific run over an extended period.

Striker Calvert-Lewin harbours ambitions over a senior international call but insists his priorities lie with performing for Everton.

Manager Ancelotti is poised for his second Goodison Park fixture. He writes about his “fantastic” and incomparable reception ahead of the 1-0 Boxing Day win over Burnley.

The former Real Madrid boss is primarily looking forwards, though, and insists Everton’s recent league form will count for something tangible only if it leads to a strong finish to the campaign.

We have all the latest news from Everton’s Under-23, Under-18 and Women teams, too.
