Sunday promises to be a special occasion at Goodison Park as Everton take to the pitch for the first time under their new ownership.
The Friedkin Group were handed the keys to Goodison on Thursday with fans finally able to celebrate the takeover.
Everton may be set to make changes in January with the transfer window coming at a great time for the struggling Premier League side.
But changes to the starting XI could well be made against Chelsea by Sean Dyche with Everton in need of points if they are to pull away from the bottom three.
And there is one player who has just done something special in training at Finch Farm ahead of the game on Sunday.

Beto scores stunning strike in Everton training ahead of Chelsea
January could see some exits from Merseyside with Beto receiving interest from Inter Milan ahead of next month.
However, he is clearly still working hard in Everton training to impress the manager with his game time extremely limited.
On Saturday afternoon, the club released footage from their latest training session ahead of the game against Chelsea which saw Beto score a thumping strike.

The striker’s teammates were left stunned as he cannoned an effort from range into the top corner [8:30].
Alan Myers labelled Beto as ‘underperforming’ over the summer as he expected him to have a better season.
It has not been easy for the £25m striker with Beto admitting he’s struggled under Dyche this season playing just 180 minutes of Premier League football.
Armando Broja may not be fit enough to start
Last weekend, Everton fans were encouraged by Armando Broja’s cameo display from the bench against Arsenal.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin not scoring for the Toffees, many would likely want to see the Albania international replace him.
However, if Broja is not ready to come in from the start, it does not mean Dyche has to stick with Calvert-Lewin.
Beto has been tipped to stay at Everton in January despite the interest coming from Serie A.
Perhaps The Friedkin Group’s arrival could offer him one final chance with the striker clearly still highly thought of back in Italy where he was bought from.
And he is certainly showing promising signs in Everton training.
