While some things at Goodison Park have changed, many traditions remain the same.
The players emerge from the tunnel to the tune of the iconic Z Cars theme song.
Flags are waved in the Gwladys Street End and cheers go up for their players on this historic fixture.

BBC Sport at Goodison Park
After the men's team played their final match at Goodison Park, the club offered season ticket holders and seasonal hospitality members the opportunity to buy the seat they have used in the 2024-25 season as a permanent souvenir of Goodison Park.
That plan went ahead and any seats bought were set to be replaced by the club in areas that will be occupied by supporters for women's matches.
Up here by the press box, though, that's not happened just yet...
'It means a lot for the women's game'

Everton manager Brian Sorensen on playing at Goodison Park: "It means a lot for the women's game in general and we have this opportunity. This can be one of the first moves like it.
"It's not about the emotions today. It's about being professional and playing as a team. We want to start good here."

A miserable day on Merseyside but that's not dampening the spirits inside Goodison Park where the music is blasting as the players warm up.
New branding for the women's team adorns the Bullens Road stand and the upper tier of the Gwladys Street End.
The Gwladys Street End has plenty of new flags hanging. I can see tributes for Courtney Brosnan and Megan Finnigan among others.
Everton women ready to call Goodison home

To the casual observer, Everton v Tottenham is just another Women's Super League fixture.
But history will be made on Sunday at 14:30 BST, with Everton playing their first match at Goodison Park since it became the permanent home of the women's team.
Everton have played at Goodison Park before, most recently in November 2024, when they beat Liverpool 1-0 in the Merseyside derby, but on their previous appearances at the 133-year-old stadium, they were guests of Everton men.
But following the relocation of the men's team to the newly constructed Hill Dickinson Stadium on Liverpool's waterfront, Goodison Park is embarking on a new era as the largest dedicated women's stadium in England.
More succinctly, in the words of Everton defender Kenzie Weir: "It's ours."
Weir is more familiar with the stadium than most of her team-mates, as her dad, former Scotland international David Weir, made more than 250 appearances for the Toffees between 1999 and 2007.
There are photos of her on the pitch as a child and she "remembers the atmosphere" from his playing days. Now, it's the stage for her and her team-mates to "showcase what we've got".

'You saw ruthless of Man Utd identity'
FT: London City Lionesses 1-5 Man Utd
Manchester United
Manchester United goalscorer Jayde Riviere speaking to Sky Sports: "We really wanted to focus this week on bouncing back from our Champions League game. We wanted to jump into this. The team we played is a new team and we don't know what to expect. All we control is how we play and you saw that ruthlessness of the Man Utd identity. It was a really good team performance."
On scoring nine goals in two WSL games: "You see how connected we are as a team off the pitch and that translates on the pitch. We have a great group of girls."
'Kerr's waited a long time for that moment'

Brighton forward on Sky Sports
I'm absolutely delighted for her. It's been a real tough journey for her. A lot of people keep asking 'Where's Sam?', and when you know what's going on in the background, you just can't wait for her to get back on that pitch and that's where she belongs.
She belongs out on a football pitch and I'm delighted that she could get her goal. Get her 100th goal for Chelsea. She's waited a long time for that moment, so I'm really happy for her. Hopefully, she can stay fit, stay healthy and contribute this season.
Everton ready for 'bright future' in new home

It's a damp, rainy day on Merseyside to mark the dawn of a new era for Everton women.
The first match at their new home Goodison Park gets under way soon against Tottenham.
Manager Brian Sorensen says in his programme notes he believes the Old Lady "holds a bright future for our team".
He adds that the move is a "clear sign of ambition" from the club.
With a 4-1 thrashing over local rivals Liverpool last week, Everton will look to build on that momentum here at their new home.
