Carlo Ancelotti’s men will make the trip to Bloomfield Road on Saturday, August 22, the Seasiders have confirmed after revealing the remainder of their summer schedule in full.

Blackpool will take on League Two side Port Vale away from home tomorrow, before hosting David Dunn’s Barrow at 1pm on Tuesday afternoon.

Following the game against the Toffees, Neil Critchley’s side will finish their pre-season preparations with games against Blackburn Rovers and Oldham Athletic respectively.

Blackpool’s pre-season schedule:

Saturday, August 15 - Port Vale (A, 3pm kick-off)

Tuesday, Aug 18 - Barrow (H, 1pm kick-off)

Saturday, Aug 22 - Everton (H, 3pm kick-off)

Tuesday, Aug 25 - Blackburn (H, 7pm kick-off)

Saturday, Aug 29 - Oldham (A, 3pm kick-off)

All of the club’s friendlies are subject to change and, in accordance with government guidelines, will be played behind-closed-doors.

The Seasiders are, however, hoping to make the games available for fans to watch via a live stream.

“The club is currently in discussions with broadcasting partners on the subject of live-streaming the friendlies to supporters, with free of charge and pay per view options on offer, allowing fans the opportunity to support the Seasiders despite not being allowed entry into the games,” Blackpool said in a statement.

“The club can confirm Saturday’s match at Port Vale and Tuesday’s match at home to Barrow AFC will be live streamed free of charge, with supporters able to watch the match on the club’s YouTube channel. Details will be announced on social media.

“Further details on the streams for the remaining pre-season friendlies will be announced in due course.”

It’s hoped Chris Maxwell, Jack Sims, Ethan Robson and Oliver Sarkic will all be available at Vale Park tomorrow after missing last week’s win against Southport.

The Seasiders got their pre-season preparations underway last Saturday with a 4-0 victory at Haig Avenue thanks to goals from Grant Ward, Sullay Kaikai and debutants Keshi Anderson and Jerry Yates.
