STAYAWAY SAM SENDING EUROPA SHADOW SQUAD

Sunday with Craig Shakespeare, one of Everton’s new assistant managers, taking his place in the dugout in Cyprus along with long-serving coach Duncan Ferguson. The only issue from the game is which club finishes bottom of Group E — Everton, who have taken one point from a possible 15, need a victory to avoid the wooden spoon. However, Allardyce has made it clear he was not placing any stock on the game given its proximity to the derby and he will send an inexperienced squad to Limassol, including several academy players. Meanwhile, Everton say they will freeze prices on all season tickets for next season. Adult tickets will start at £420.
