EVERTON will start their UEFA cup campaign at home against Ukrainian outfit FC Metalist Kharkiv.
The Ukranian side finished third in their country’s national league last season and could provide Everton with a tough start.
The first leg will take place at Goodison on the 20th September, with Everton facing the second leg in the Ukraine on the 6th of October.
The Blues avoided an opening confrontation with Spanish side Villarreal who controversially knocked Everton out of the Champions League qualifiers two years ago, as both teams were seeded.
