Everton will start next season at home to Fulham, a game that holds painful memories from last season.

The 3-1 defeat was a low point of Sean Dyche’s tenure as a winnable game ended up being another reminder of the peril Everton faced - and that the relegation battle would enter the final weeks of the season.
