PREM chiefs agreed to an Everton request that they play AWAY on the final weekend of next season.
Toffees bosses urged the Prem to ensure their final game at Goodison before the move to Bramley Moore Dock was on the penultimate weekend.
All clubs have the right to make such pleas, with Spurs also playing their final game at White Hart Lane in 2017 - a 2-1 win over Manchester United - the weekend before the end of the campaign.
Everton argued that if their season ended at Goodison on the last weekend the occasion would potentially be overshadowed by events at the top and bottom of the table.
And the request was granted, with Everton finishing the season at Newcastle on May 25.

It means the home game with Southampton the previous weekend will bring down the curtain on 133 years of Goodison history.
Everton will be aiming to mark the occasion with a grand farewell and ceremony.
The Toffees’ new stadium is costing £760million and will be one of the top arenas in the country.
It will hold over 52,000 fans — 12,000 more than Goodison.
And supporters have been eagerly anticipating its completion ever since work began in 2021.
