BREAKING NEWS: Everton's board of directors STAY AWAY from their game against Arsenal, with heightened fears about their safety persisting as angry fans protest outside Goodison Park

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri and the club's board will once again stay away from Goodison Park for Saturday lunchtime's fixture with Arsenal on security grounds.

With fan dissent growing as the club fights relegation from the Premier League, Sky Sports reported the club's hierarchy are not expected to be present for the game.

Supporters staged another protest against Moshiri and the club's ownership in the streets around Goodison Park ahead of the match.

One banner depicted majority shareholder Moshiri, chairman Bill Kenwright and director Denise Barrett-Baxendale as clowns.

BT Sport requested an interview with a member of the Everton hierarchy to discuss the ongoing problems at the club but were told nobody was available.
