Everton will wrap up their preparations for the 2022-23 campaign on Friday when they take on Dynamo Kyiv in a friendly at Goodison Park.
The Ukrainian outfit head into the weekend fresh off the back of securing a place in the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers and will look to keep the ball rolling.
Everton picked up their first pre-season win last Sunday when they saw off Blackpool 4-2 away from home.
Prior to that, the Merseyside outfit were on a run of three consecutive defeats, including successive pre-season losses to Arsenal and Minnesota United.
Everton have now returned to Goodison Park, where they are unbeaten in all but one of their last six matches, with May’s 3-2 loss to Brentford being the exception.
Meanwhile, Dynamo Kyiv progressed to the third round of the Champions League qualifiers on Wednesday evening courtesy of a 2-1 extra-time win over Fenerbahce.
Prior to that, Mircea Lucescu’s men were held to a goalless draw by the Turkish side in the first leg on July 20.
Dynamo Kyiv have now managed just one win from their last four games in all competitions, losing twice and claiming one draw.
