STICKY START FOR LOADED TOFFEES

- BY DAVID MADDOCK

EVERTON’S expensive summer transforma­tion will be put to an immediate test, with a nightmare start to next season.

The Toffees plan a major spending spree as they prepare to challenge for a top-four place (keeper Jordan Pickford, above).

But the Premier League fixtures computer dealt them a savage blow with clashes against FOUR of their Champions League rivals in the opening month of the campaign.

They face visits to champions Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United all before the middle of September, as well as hosting Tottenham.

Fans joked a Liverpool fan must have prepared the fixtures.
