Everton vs Celtic: How to watch Sydney Super Cup clash on TV, live stream, kick-off time and team news

Celtic face English Premier League side Everton in their final Sydney Super Cup match at the 80,000 seater Accor Stadium on Sunday morning, with Ange Postecoglou returning to the scene of his country’s 2015 Asian Cup triumph.

The Hoops boss offered no excuses for his side’s poor display as they suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss against Sydney FC on Thursday, despite taking the lead when Alexandro Bernabei’s shot took a heavy deflection off Kyogo Furuhashi and ended up in the net.

The A-League outfit hit back through goals from Robert Mak and Max Burgess and the Australian will now be determined to ensure his homecoming tour doesn’t end in two consecutive defeats.

A number of key players are expected to return to the starting line-up to face Frank Lampard’s side after Postecoglou opted to name an unfamiliar XI earlier this week with several fringe players handed an opportunity to impress.

The Toffees, who are currently languishing down in 17th place in the Premier League table - just one point above the relegation zone - will play their first game of the friendly tournament before facing Western Sydney Wanderers next week.

Everton agreed to take part in the Sydney Cup following Rangers decision to withdraw from the trip due to fans unrest, and despite their lowly league position are sure to present a stiff challenge for the Scottish champions.

The Goodison Park club will be without a number of regular starters due to their involvement at the World Cup in Qatar, and under pressure Lampard could give chances to a few of the club’s exciting teenage prospects.

After sobering back-to-back defeats to Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup and in the top-flight, Lampard will know significant improvement is required to ensure they avoid another bottom of the table scrap this season.
