Alex Neil's Preston finished ninth in last season's Championship, four points outside the play-off positions, and start the new term at home against Swansea City on the weekend of 12 September.

The Lancashire team last visited Goodison for a League Cup tie in October 2004 when goals from Lee Carsley and Marcus Bent secured a 2-0 Everton win, mirroring the result when the teams met in an FA Cup fifth round tie on Merseyside in January 2000.
