New signing Dion De Neve – who moved from Kortijk – made his debut a week ago. Meanwhile, Sidnei Tavares (a £2 million signing from Moreirense) has yet to make his debut.
On Everton's side, Thierno Barry – a summer signing – will not play until the team travels to the US because he recently participated in the European U21 Championship and was given a later rest period.

An important month awaits Everton – the team is finalizing its squad before officially moving to its new riverside stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

The club's ambitions have been raised, and the transfer budget has been expanded. Manager David Moyes expects more new signings to join the team in addition to the three deals already completed this summer.
Everton hopes the fear of relegation is now a thing of the past. With the arrival of a new board and the positive impact Moyes has had since taking over in January last season, the club has reason to set higher goals for the 2025–26 season.
Winning all three of their final matches last season helped Everton finish in 13th place – ahead of Manchester United and Tottenham, and 23 points clear of the relegation zone.
Moyes's team restarted their season with a 1-1 draw away at Accrington on Tuesday night, thanks to a late penalty from Beto. After this match against Blackburn, Everton will travel to the United States to participate in the Premier League Summer Series.
Roma will be the first opponent in professional matches at Hill Dickinson Stadium, before Everton travel to Leeds United for Monday's late match in the opening round of the 2025–26 Premier League.
Everton's next match is against Blackburn – a team Everton defeated in their last official encounter at Ewood Park in the 2011–12 Premier League season, thanks to a late penalty goal from Mikel Arteta. They also won in a friendly match in 2013.
However, Blackburn thrashed Everton 3-0 in their most recent friendly match in 2018 – a game that drew heavy criticism for then-manager Marco Silva. If that scenario repeats, it would boost the confidence of Blackburn, who are hoping to return to the promotion play-offs this season after finishing just two points behind the top six last season.
Valerien Ismael's team finished the 2024–25 Championship season in 7th place, earning 13 points in the final 5 rounds and only missing out on the play-offs on the final day. While repeating that achievement won't be easy, the victory against Accrington in the pre-season friendly is a positive sign.
After their match against Everton, Blackburn will face Elche before beginning their Championship campaign with a clash against West Brom on August 9th.
