Everybody makes mistakes in this world, even the social media admins for football clubs.
Purely a technical issue while testing our graphics platform. No early team news here!

An eagle eye Everton fan was able to spot out a now-deleted tweet from the club’s official Twitter account seemingly testing a starting XI graphic, forcing in the club to issue an apology to supporters in thinking it was early team news for this weekend.
As expected, lots of supporters jumped on the deleted tweet and saw the funny side to it as fans reacted to the gaffe on social media.
Here is what some Everton fans had to say on Twitter…
Hi @Everton, if you don’t make #Blah the hashtag for this week’s match, you’re doing it all wrong.

This puts my regression testing in perspective….when things slip through to production the impact isn't like this.

Everton travel to the south coast this weekend to face Bournemouth as the Toffees aim to claim their third win of the Premier League season.
