The match has been inspired by Bradley’s love of football and the Club is proud to be able to host the fixture.

Evertonians formed a special bond with the youngster, initially during Everton's match at Sunderland in September 2016 and then when he was a guest at Goodison Park for two matches in January and February this year.

He accompanied the Everton team onto the pitch ahead of the Blues’ game against Manchester City in January wearing his Sunderland kit – and was also the Black Cats’ mascot for the Everton v Sunderland fixture in February.
