Everton travel to Stoke-on-Trent on a rainy Tuesday night partly cloudy Saturday afternoon to play hosts Stoke City in the fourth friendly of the pre-season. Without a full complement of players as yet, the Blues have managed two close wins and a stalemate against primarily lower league opposition.
Stoke meanwhile under Alex Neil are closing out their pre-season before they play their first game of the new Championship season against Rotherham. After a 16th place finish in the second tier last season, the Potters will be looking for a better campaign this time around.

It was only March 2018 when an Everton led by Sam Allardyce (!) came away 2-1 winners from the bet365 Stadium after a Cenk Tosun brace (!!) while the snow came flying down on a somewhat sunny afternoon (!!!).
