How come it hasn’t been since 2017 that Everton’s first Match of the calendar year is in the league and they haven’t lost (2024, the only year in which they didn’t lose their first league match in this period, in a 0-0 draw with Villa, was one when said match was halfway in the month, though they did also have the same goalless score line in what was their first match of the year, in the FA Cup)? Even in decent seasons like 2018-19 they have lost such a match (to like-minded Leicester in that case).
