Diary of the season

5 June: Northern Premier League members Ilkeston are wound-up at the High Court in Liverpool.^[5]
16 June: The live-streamed first-round draw for the 2017–18 EFL Cup, held in sponsor Carabao Energy Drink's hometown of Bangkok in Thailand, descends into farce as a string of errors crop up, including an official graphic assigning two different sets of opposition to Charlton Athletic.^[6]
7 July: The draw for the extra qualifying round of the FA Cup pits Northwich Victoria with the club that acrimoniously broke away from them: 1874 Northwich.^[7]
20 July: Following the demise of East Midlands side Ilkeston, a new club, Ilkeston Town, are founded, led by Notts County owner Alan Hardy.^[8] The club is the third to take the name, after sides active from the 1880s to 1903, and from 1945 to 2010.
27 July: Leighton Baines scores the only goal in Everton's first-leg tie with MFK Ružomberok in the UEFA Europa League's third qualifying round; Wayne Rooney makes his second début for the Toffees.^[9]
31 July: The English Football League announce that, on a trial basis for this season, penalty shoot-outs in the EFL Cup, EFL Trophy, and the play-offs will be in a format more akin to the "tiebreak in tennis" in which team A kicks first and team B kicks second. This is referred to as "ABBA".^[10]
3 August: Everton eliminate Ružomberok 2–0 on aggregate; Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the goalscorer in Slovakia.^[11]
4 August: Two matches start off the English Football League: Bradley Johnson of Derby County scores the first goal of the 2017–18 English Football League season at Sunderland, who hit back through a penalty kick converted by Lewis Grabban,^[12] while Nottingham Forest become the campaign's first victors, winning 1–0 over Millwall through débutant Barrie McKay to go top of the embryonic EFL Championship table.^[13] Meanwhile on Merseyside, Everton and Liverpool learn their opposition in the European playoff draws: the latter are paired with German outfit 1899 Hoffenheim in the UEFA Champions League, while the former face Croat club Hajduk Split in the Europa League.^[14]
6 August: Arsenal are victorious over Chelsea in the 2017 FA Community Shield, after earning a 1-1 draw with a goal near the end of normal time. The match subsequently becomes the first competitive game to be decided via the use of the new "ABBA" penalty format, with consecutive misses by Thibaut Courtois and Álvaro Morata ultimately proving costly for Chelsea, and Arsenal scoring all four of their own penalties.
