Everton are reportedly in talks with Championship club Blackburn Rovers to play a behind-closed-doors friendly game during the ongoing international break.
Manager David Moyes wants to keep his squad in shape over the next two weeks following an undefeated start to the season.
The Toffees have started the new Premier League campaign with two victories and three draws.
They have also booked a spot in the fourth round of the League Cup following victories over Preston North End and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Everton have ten players on international duty. They include England duo Jordan Pickford and Jarrad Branthwaite.
Vitalii Mykolenko is with Ukraine, Jake O’Brien is with the Republic of Ireland, Braiden Graham is with Northern Ireland, while Brennan Johnson and Tom King are with Wales.
Tyler Dibling and Tyrique George are with the England under-21s, while Harrison Armstrong is with the U20s.
The Merseyside club are back in action on October 11, and Moyes wants to keep the other members of the squad not involved in international duty engaged during the 22-day break.
Everton face Hull City after the international break, and the manager will be desperate to pick up another three points.
The date for the game against Blackburn is unknown, but it is likely to be later this week or early next week.
The Blues could also look to play another game before the end of the break.
