Hayden Hackney headlines a bumper issue, with the summer signing from Middlesbrough discussing the reasons why he already feels at home on Merseyside, and his aspirations with the Toffees.

“For sure [Europe is the target]," Hackney tells the Official Matchday Programme. "We're unbeaten this season so far, and hopefully we can build on that.”

“All the players we've got are going to have a part to play.

“We're going to need everyone. In training, we can see each other every day and see the level and the quality that we've got here now, and I think we can go on to do good things this season.”

On how he feels in a new environment, he continues: “I’ve settled in very well. Thanks to all the lads, they made me feel very welcome. And it was easy for me to settle and feel comfortable and just be myself, really. I've loved every minute of it. 
 
“They all spoke to me on my first day, they all made an effort to come and introduce themselves.”

Every issue of the Blues' Official Matchday Programme is packed with exclusive content and all-new features – including Mastermind, where every Men's player picks a specialist subject and answers as many questions as they can on that topic in 60 seconds, and If I Was... where players ponder a range of football and non-football questions, such as what rule they would change and what teammate they'd least like to be stuck in a lift with!

Elsewhere, we go behind the curtain and Inside The Kitchen with Everton and England chefs Tom Kenton and Neil Bradbury, to learn more about how they fuel the players before and after matches. This weekend's issue reveals how to make Ashley Young's favourite but "odd" pre-match pasta dish!
