Everton’s Premier League meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Goodison Park will take place on Sunday 13 March, one day later than originally scheduled.

The home game against Newcastle United, meanwhile, has been rearranged for Thursday 17 March, starting at 7.45pm, and will be shown live on Amazon Prime.

Frank Lampard’s team were set to host Wolves at 3pm on Saturday 12 March. The fixture is moved back one day, however, to accommodate a switch in the calendar of the Midlands’ club, whose home clash with Watford – postponed on Boxing Day – has been slotted in on Thursday 10 March.

Newcastle were formerly due at Goodison back on 30 December but the match was postponed following a request from the visitors, who had a COVID outbreak, coupled with injury concerns, in their squad.

Manager Lampard, then, is poised for two home Premier League matches inside four days in mid-March.

Everton begin the month with an FA Cup fifth-round game against Boreham Wood at Goodison on 3 March.

The Blues play Tottenham Hotspur in London in a Premier League match on Monday 7 March.

Then comes the visit from Wolves on 13 March and, four days later, the televised home fixture with Newcastle.
