Everton are in Germany for their fifth pre-season friendly of the summer, taking on Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart at the MHP Arena on Saturday afternoon. Kick-off is at 4pm GMT, and the match is being streamed live with team news and commentary updates.
Pre-season form and Stuttgart challenge
Everton's pre-season has been a mixed bag so far. After beating Dundee, drawing with Bolton, and losing to Stoke in their three UK friendlies, the Blues secured a 2-1 win over Hamburg last weekend, marking a winning start to their European tour.
Stuttgart, who finished fourth in the Bundesliga last season and will compete in the Champions League this coming campaign, represent arguably Everton's toughest test of the summer.
Moyes' preparations and team news
David Moyes is aiming to get his squad up to full speed ahead of their Premier League opener against Crystal Palace in two weeks' time. Joe Thomas is at the game, with support from Chris Beesley back at base camp, as the Blues' pre-season preparations intensify.
In the meantime, Everton fans can read an exclusive interview with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who featured in the win over Hamburg, to get in the mood for the game.
