The Premier League have announced the TV fixtures for the months of August and September with four Everton matches being selected for coverage in that spell.
The Blues will now travel to face Aston Villa for a 12:30pm kick off on Saturday 13th August on BT Sport. This follows the previous announcement that the opening match of the term for Frank Lampard's side against Chelsea will also be screened live on Sky Sports.

Another Blues match has also been moved in September, although this is not due to TV coverage. Lampard's side will now take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday 11th September, due to the Gunners' involvement in the Europa League the previous Thursday.
These amendments mean that five of Everton's first seven matches of the campaign have now been given new dates or times, with four of the opening six games of the term selected for TV coverage.
Everton new fixture dates and times
- Aston Villa (A) - August 13th, 12:30pm (BT Sport)
- Leeds United (A) - August 30th, 8pm (BT Sport)
- Liverpool (H) - September 3rd - 12:30pm (BT Sport)
- Arsenal (A) - September 11th - 2:00pm (moved due to Arsenal's Europa League involvement)
