Everton have confirmed two more pre-season friendlies.The Toffees will head to Motherwell on Saturday, 21 July before facing Blackpool on Sunday, 5 August.

The Club have already confirmed friendlies against Morecambe and Dundee United. The game against Motherwell at Fir Park takes place three days after the Dundee United game and is a testimonial for long-serving 'Well player Stevie Hammell.

The Bloomfield Road visit in August is also a testimonial, with former Everton reserve team captain Keith Southern the player being honoured. Tangerines midfielder Southern told evertonfc.com: "I'm absolutely delighted. I got wind yesterday that it was definitely going to be Everton, which is perfect. "When I signed a new contract in September and was told I would have a testimonial there was only one club I really wanted it to be against."

Both sides have figured in Everton's pre-season plans in the recent past, with the Toffees drawing 0-0 at Fir Park in 2005 and losing out 2-1 at Bloomfield Road in 2009.

Since then the Tangerines have played Everton in the Premier League, drawing 2-2 at home and losing out 5-3 in a thriller at Goodison. Ian Holloway's side missed out on a return to the top tier when they lost 2-1 to West Ham in the play-off final last month, while Motherwell, under ex-Everton player Stuart McCall, are in the Champions League qualifying round for the first time after finishing third in the SPL.

Ticket information and kick-off times will be announced on evertonfc.com once confirmed.

This summer's confirmed friendlies:
14 July - Morecambe v Everton - 2pm
18 July - Dundee United v Everton - 7.45pm
21 July - Motherwell v Everton - TBC

5 August - Blackpool v Everton - TBC

EDIT: Erm, Blackpool were in the Premiership a few seasons ago, some Blackpool pictures...

Ian Hollway is the manager, Kevin Phillips, yada yada yada...

Everton will have probably sold someone and then bought someone by then, who we won't like but will end up boss...
