Liverpool City Council will see proposals from the club for a new 52,000-seater stadium based on the docklands.
The stadium will become one of the largest in the Premier League, but still behind cross-city rivals Liverpool.
The new stadium will include a new fan plaza on the side, and the club plans to begin work on the arena next year.
Everton will be hoping that this new stadium - coupled with the appointment of Ancelotti - will help to propel them into becoming one of the bigger teams in the country.

Club chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale praised the project, and discussed the impact it will have on the city of Liverpool.
She said: “This is a huge milestone in the Club’s history but also a profound statement of intent for our future.
“It marks the culmination of many years of work that has combined the passion of our fans with world class design and a commitment to creating something truly special on Liverpool’s waterfront.
“The stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock will deliver the best possible matchday experience for our fans, new facilities for cultural events and a building that will be a stunning new addition to Liverpool’s built environment.

“Our proposals are a commitment to a long and exciting future for the Club in North Liverpool, and also for our award-winning charity, Everton in the Community, to continue to make a life-changing difference in Liverpool 4.
“From its inception, we’ve always believed that this project can be a game-changer for North Liverpool.
“The vast amount of feedback and overwhelming support we received through our consultation has shown that the people of Liverpool understand that The People’s Project isn’t just about a new football ground – it’s about regeneration, jobs and social value.
“If we are granted planning approval, this will be a world class football stadium in a world class location and a catalyst for Liverpool City Region’s ongoing growth and success.”
