Did You Know That Everton Is The Original Anfield?

Did you know that Everton is the original Anfield? I know you will say that it is Liverpool. You will be forgiven because Liverpool FC is forever associated with Anfield. But Everton FC was the first team to play there.

Everton FC was founded in 1878 and rented a field in Afield Road to play its games. A dispute over rent for this field led to the split in the team with one faction retaining the name Everton and the other forming Liverpool Association FC in 1892.

As you ponder about that, “real football” is kicking off this Friday. The Premier League round officially opens on the evening of Friday 5 August with Crystal Palace hosting Arsenal who will be keen to avoid a repeat of last season when they were beaten by Brentford on the opening Friday of the season.

Liverpool will get their campaign underway in the early kick-off on Saturday when they visit newly promoted Fulham.

The weekend also features Everton hosting Chelsea which will see Frank Lampard come up against his former club Nottingham Forest, making their long-awaited return to top-flight football with a trip to Newcastle United, and Manchester United hosting Brighton & Hove Albion for what will be new manager Erik ten Hag’s first official game in charge.

As we wait for Friday for the real action to start, SportPesa has 26,529,696 shillings to be won in the Midweek Jackpot. One can place as many Midweek Jackpots as possible provided their pocket can allow them to go on.
