Floodlights on at Bramley-Moore Dock, the crowd spilling out onto Liverpool’s newest football home, blue scarves held high and mobile data clinging on for dear life – it can only mean one thing. Everton are set to host Manchester City for matchday 18 in the Premier League, and things will be bouncing.
What’s the match?
It’s Everton versus Man City at Everton Stadium: a proper big night clash between the Blues and recent league giants. This isn’t just any game. It’s a home fixture late in December, the kind that warms your toes and fuels your post-Christmas mood with hopes of three points and a few poetic tackles. The city might be full of New Year’s resolutions soon, but for one night, there’s only one focus – the 90 minutes on the pitch.
When is it on?
The match takes place on Tuesday 29 December 2026. Kick-off is at 20:15, so you’ll have plenty of time to grab your scarf, dodge the drizzle (wishful thinking), and get yourself to the dock in time for the opening whistle.
Where?
The action is at Everton Stadium, Bramley-Moore Dock, Liverpool. If you haven’t been down to the new ground yet, this could be the one. There’s something special about seeing the blue half of the city with the Mersey breeze swirling round your jeans.
