Everton finally return to Premier League action on Saturday against Crystal Palace.

Hill Dickinson Stadium plays host for a traditional 3:00pm kick-off as the Eagles take on the Toffees.

David Moyes will be hoping for a better start than last season on 22 August, losing 1-0 against newly-promoted Leeds.

Everton will open their season at home this time, with the cauldron of home supporters in their corner.

Brennan Johnson and Dwight McNeil will take centre stage after completing their swap transfer between the two clubs last week.

But, how can you take in all the action?

Is Everton vs Crystal Palace live on TV?

Given the return of the Saturday blackout after the World Cup, 3:00pm kick-offs aren't televised in the United Kingdom.

Goodison News will be across all developments from build up to kick-off, team news, in-game drama and post-match reactions.

Coverage can also be taken on board through Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday, talkSPORT or BBC Radio Merseyside.

American broadcaster NBC will show the game live too, following their Premier League Morning's show.

Tim Howard will be across their coverage for the opening weekend on the ground in England, which is one to look out for Everton fans.

Immediate highlights are usually uploaded by Sky Sports minutes after full-time, too.

Will Everton make new signings before Crystal Palace?

It won't be without the want of trying.

Angus Kinnear has revealed that Everton are working on several deals, with 70 per cent of signings made in the final two weeks of a window.

A new right-back is the first priority, in fact, it has been for years now without any real success in the market.

With only two weeks to go until the 1 September deadline, Everton are cutting it fine.

Matty Cash of Aston Villa is said to be the favoured target of Moyes, but will Unai Emery really let him with Ezri Konsa now set for Arsenal?

These are the silly decisions that Kinnear and the board keep on making, and it's not going down well with the fans.

For now, it looks unlikely that any new faces will arrive before Saturday, with three points all that matters right now.
