A whirlwind few days at Everton will see the Toffees cap of an important week in the club’s history with a game at Goodison Park.
Everton fans are going to provide their new owners with a roaring welcome on Sunday as the game marks the beginning of their new chapter.
The Friedkin Group will attend Everton’s game against Chelsea on the weekend where they will get their first taste of Goodison.
An emphatic win over Wolves and a draw away to Arsenal should provide fans with some optimism for things to come.
However, Sean Dyche’s side are coming up against a Chelsea side that are bang in form as Enzo Maresca mounts a title challenge.

Chris Sutton warns The Friedkin Group could relegate Everton
The Friedkin Group have exciting plans for Everton to help develop the club back into what they were around two decades ago.
It has not been an easy past few seasons for the Toffees and Chris Sutton has admitted the Blues are not safe from relegation just because of the takeover.
With speculation surrounding Dyche’s future, Sutton has said it is crucial the Friedkins keep the 53-year-old about.
‘The takeover at Everton has gone through now so there will probably be some speculation about Sean Dyche’s future, but they would get rid of him now at their peril,’ he said.
‘Basically, if they want to stay in the Premier League this season then they have to keep him as manager.
‘Dyche’s Everton side are not tearing up any trees but they showed in the draw at Arsenal how resolute they are – they are awkward and difficult to break down.’
Sean Dyche says the Friedkins are supporting him after meeting with Marc Watts at Finch Farm on Friday morning.
But with Everton struggling around the bottom end of the table it will be interesting to see whether that remains
Everton can’t let emotion get the better of them vs Chelsea
With the takeover now complete and spirits high, the Everton players cannot let the occasion get the better of them.
Enzo Maresca says the takeover will benefit Everton but he is not convinced it will make them harder to beat on Sunday.
Everton have shown some positive signs this season, they have also shown a lot of negatives with some really poor displays.
The Friedkin Group are expected to spend in January and that could well mean there are some Everton players already playing for their futures.
