Everton to play Motherwell in additional pre-season friendly

Everton are to play Motherwell in an additional friendly that has been added to their pre-season schedule this week. 

The game against the Scottish Premiership side will take place at Goodison Park on Tuesday 6 August — but it will be played behind closed doors just a few days before Everton welcome AS Roma to Goodison Park on Saturday. 

Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell  told Glasgow World: “We've got a bounce game on Tuesday. We go down to play a closed-door game against Everton at Goodison Park on Tuesday. So that overnight stay, playing against the top, top level side will be a brilliant test for us as well in their build up to the season starting.

“But I've got a whole host of guys there that are desperate for minutes as well. So I think as much as trying to improve what we've done today, it starts to strengthen that squad with more minutes into the players and the challenges that will face them.”
