Everton travel to the City Ground this weekend in desperate need of a positive result after they were pushed to bottom place in the Premier League after Burnley thumped Sheffield Utd 5-0.
Everton return to action for the first time since the Premier League deducted 10 points as Manchester United come to a Goodison Park that is expected to be a bearpit of defiance in front of the Sky cameras.
Everton have been handed a big 10-point penalty after being found guilty by the independent commission of violating Premier League profitability and sustainability rules.
The proposed takeover of Everton FC by 777 Partners is reportedly at risk because the Florida-based firm have thus far failed to provide a UK Government regulator with the required audited financial statements.
