There will be a live performance on stage from Joe Smithson ahead of the game, and the live show will also have special guests.

Catering units will be on-site with hot and cold refreshments, including the Park End Kitchen, a Club-owned food outlet launched in response to fans’ feedback and in conjunction with the Fans’ Forum.

The Homebaked Bakery will have pies available in the Fanzone, via the blue Homebaked Bakery@Goodison Park-branded concession, which offers fans the chance to sample the famous Homebaked Scouse Pie, the award-winning Vegan Scouse Pie, as well as Everton themed pies The Blue (Steak & Stilton) and the Trinity Pie, in honour of Howard Kendall, Colin Harvey and Alan Ball.

FOODBANK DONATIONS

Fans’ Supporting Foodbanks and their unmissable purple vehicle will be in the Fanzone all season on matchdays. They will be accessible from Goodison Road.

RAINBOW LACES

All Premier League games between 22 and 30 October will be dedicated to Rainbow Laces. Campaign support will be visible at Goodison Park this weekend and all clubs during this period will be demonstrating that football is everyone’s game in a variety of ways.

Rainbow-themed captain’s armbands will be worn, while ball plinths, substitute boards and LED perimeter boards will also highlight important messages.

PITCH ENCROACHMENT / PYROTECHNICS

Everton Football Club wishes to remind supporters that entering the field of play is a criminal offence.

The Club is committed to the Premier League, FA and EFL’s collective stance in tackling anti-social and criminal behaviour at football matches and will take a zero-tolerance approach to pitch encroachment during the 2022/23 campaign.

Stadium bans - and even criminal prosecution - can and will be enforced to punish anyone that enters the playing area.

The Club is legally compelled to work with the authorities to identify any individuals who take part in such activity.

This also applies to the use of any pyrotechnics (smoke grenades and or flares) and the throwing of objects of any description on to the pitch. These acts are dangerous, illegal and have severe consequences.

Under strict stadium guidelines, all pyrotechnics are prohibited and supporters are advised that spot checks will take place at turnstiles and any such items will be confiscated.

Fans also run the risk of arrest and a subsequent stadium ban for possession of a pyrotechnic inside a football stadium.

SUPPORTERS CODE OF CONDUCT / REPORTING DISCRIMINATION

Everton Football Club has a strict, zero tolerance approach to all incidents of discrimination and disorder.

We remind supporters that all perpetrators of public order offences, which includes racist or discriminatory behaviour, pitch encroachment and the throwing of objects, will receive lengthy stadium bans, potential Police investigation and further possible legal sanctions.

Everton has a dedicated text number for fans to report any discriminatory or abusive behaviour they witness during matches at Goodison Park.

If you see or hear something, please report it to our Stadium Safety Team immediately by texting HELP and your message to 84300, or email reportit@evertonfc.com. In your message, please include details of what you have witnessed and where.

You will be sent a text, or email confirming your message has been received by our Stadium Safety Team.

GWLADYS STREET FLAGS

After consultations with supporters’ groups, a range of flags will be in the Lower Gwladys Street for fans to use. Supporters are asked to leave flags in the Gwladys Street Stand under seats following the game, so they can be reused for the next home game.

HERITAGE SOCIETY AND MATCHDAY HUB

The Heritage Society will be open at St Luke’s Church from 12pm.

The Matchday Hub, based at Everton Free School, will not be in operation for this match due to ongoing maintenance work. The Hub will remain closed until September.

TEAS FOR FANS

Teas for Fans will be open on the ground floor of St Luke’s Church Hall from 12pm.

Teas for Fans has been operating from St Luke’s for more than 30 years, offering supporters the chance to enjoy pre-match refreshments of tea, coffee and hot chocolate among fellow Evertonians.
