Rafael Benitez is set to make his official Everton debut on Saturday afternoon when they Toffees play host to Southampton in the first round of the new Premier League campaign.
Rafael Benitez called Everton “a small club” during his tenure at Liverpool. He has now taken over Carlo Ancelotti at the helm of the blue Merseyside squad and has a lot to do to make amends for such a statement.
We all know Benitez as one of the defensive masterminds. Tightening up the Toffees leaky defense will be his primary task.
Benitez has done a fantastic job on the defensive end in his previous Premier League adventure with Newcastle United.
It’s all change at Crystal Palace because legendary manager Roy Hodgson has retired from the game. The new manager is Arsenal and French legend Patrick Vieira, and he did very well with Nice in his time there, only at the end did it sour.
The first match of the season certainly does provide him with a nice chance of a clean sheet given the fact that Southampton come to visit the Goodison.

拉法贝尼特斯将在本周六下午埃弗顿队主场迎战南安普敦队的比赛中首次正式亮相。
拉法贝尼特斯在利物浦执教期间称埃弗顿是“小俱乐部”。他现在已经接替了卡洛·安切洛蒂，成为默西塞德郡蓝军的掌舵人，他有很多事情要做，以弥补这样的声明。
我们都知道贝尼特斯是防守大师之一。加强太妃糖漏洞百出的防守将是他的首要任务。
贝尼特斯在他之前加盟纽卡斯尔的英超联赛中，在防守端做得非常出色。
水晶宫的一切都改变了，因为传奇教练罗伊·霍奇森已经退役。新主帅是阿森纳和法国传奇维埃拉，他在尼斯的时候做得很好，只是在最后的时候变坏了。
本赛季的第一场比赛确实给了他一个不失球的好机会，因为南安普顿造访古迪逊球场。
