Sylvester Stallone will appear on the screens at Goodison Park tonight to deliver a special message to the Everton crowd, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Stallone, who will be wearing an Everton shirt, is working on a film called Creed with the Liverpool boxer and Everton supporter Tony Bellew who has told fans attending the Premier League match against West Bromwich Albion to “stay in your seats at half-time and keep an eye on the big screens for a very special guest to make a welcome return to Goodison Park.

“Be sure you make as much noise as possible — go absolutely nuts at half-time — to help us create a brilliant atmosphere.”

The star of Escape to Victory first visited Goodison eight years ago when Everton played Reading and was presented to the supporters before kick-off.

In his new film he again plays the part of Rocky Balboa but this time as the trainer of Apollo Creed’s grandson who challenges Bellew’s character for the world title.
