Former Everton assistant manager Davide Ancelotti will bring his new side Lille to Hill Dickinson Stadium for the Blues’ final summer friendly.
Ancelotti, who worked for Everton under his dad Carlo and is currently assisting him with Brazil at the World Cup, was unveiled as head coach of the French club earlier this summer.
Lille will visit the Liverpool waterfront on Saturday, August 15 in the Blues' final pre-season friendly.
It will end a run of games that will begin next month with the trip to Dundee and take Everton to Bolton Wanderers and Stoke City before a double-header with the club's men and women’s team playing Hamburg.
A friendly against VfB Stuttgart will then follow before the Blues face Premier League rivals Newcastle United at Murrayfield in Edinburgh.
The Lille match, which will kick-off at 3pm, will conclude pre-season one week before Everton host Crystal Palace on the opening weekend of the Premier League.
