da leao： Everton supporters were arguably the most worried when the Premier League calendar was announced on Wednesday.
da lvbet： The new season is still eight weeks away, but fans up and down the country would have put various dates in their diary when the fixtures were revealed.
Ronald Koeman’s side have learned that they will take on Stoke City, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United in August and September.
To make matters worse, the fixtures against City, Chelsea and United will all be played away from home.
The Toffees finished last season in seventh place and will play Europa League football in the upcoming campaign, but considering their tough start, it may be difficult to hit the ground running in the top flight.
Everton are determined to push themselves towards the top four over the coming seasons, so they would have hoped for a more favourable start.
Plenty of supporters are also concerned about the schedule, with some predicting that the team are certain to drop significant points across the first two months.
