Everton will face Bournemouth in the first match of the Premier League Summer Series in the United States.

The Toffees made the trip across the Atlantic on July 23 after playing three pre-season friendlies in England.

They drew 1-1 with Accrington Stanley and lost 1-0 to Blackburn Rovers in Lancashire. Charly Alcaraz and James Garner scored to give Everton a 2-1 win over Port Vale in the men’s team’s first match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, albeit played behind closed doors.

The players are still returning to match fitness and the next couple of weeks in the US will help the team get back to their best before their first Premier League season away from Goodison Park in 133 years.

Following the clash against Bournemouth, the Blues will take on West Ham United on July 30 in Chicago and Manchester United on August 3 in Atlanta.

Everton vs Bournemouth - Predicted lineup and team news

Everton team news

The Blues have travelled to the United States with a thin squad as transfer activity has been quiet so far. Mark Travers and Thierno Barry are the only new faces to arrive so far, and while Travers could start this game, Barry is expected to get some minutes from the bench.

The French striker joined the squad shortly before the trip to the US as he was granted a longer vacation following his participation in the U21 Euros.

Moyes will also be missing the services of star centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite on this tour. The 23-year-old, who committed to a longer deal with the club recently, picked up a minor niggle against Blackburn Rovers. He will remain at Finch Farm and follow a rehabilitation programme with Everton's medical staff as a precaution.

Charly Alcaraz and James Garner, who got on the scoresheet in the last game against Port Vale, are both expected to start, while Jake O’Brien could partner Michael Keane in the centre-back department.

Captain Seamus Coleman and vice-captain James Tarkowski are expected to miss out.

Given no Tarkowski and no Branthwaite — aren't we all glad we re-signed Michael Keane?

Phil #1,

I was wondering if we could get Ashley Young in loan from Ipswich :-;

The last Barry was good - so nice to see the first minutes for this one.

Looks like Justin Clarke got put on the plane too, which is a nice surprise.

I guess we have to wait till the line-up is announced — what I would call the real 'team news' — until we get an idea of the full line-up of players on this jaunt.

I'd like to see Armstrong play tonight against Premier League opposition.

If he does well, he should be part of the squad this season, instead of going out on loan again.

Jeff Armstrong

I think Armstrong has to be part of the squad this season given the lack of players we have.

At last what seems to be good news on the transfer front. A young left back and a young winger.

Fingers crossed we can get both of these deals over the line. Adam Aznou is the left back from Bayern Munich. The winger is Malick Fofana of Lyon.

"before their first Premier League season away from Goodison Park in 133 years."

No it isn't! The Premier League only started in 1992!

Tony, for many - football only started in 1992.

Just Moyes lowering expectations as he has often done. Wonder what TFG make of megaphone pressure. Moyes is part of the transfer team at Everton. It was always going to be a tall order for Moyes to cope with so many changes. He has never had to before .

Annika, are you looking forward to seeing our new goalkeeper today?

All three games in the US are on Peacock.

Yes Mike. Norcal, I never leave anymore.

Are you still around Seattle?

Mike Gaynes

I am, Dale. Too bad I didn't know you were there -- we could have met up on one of my three recent trips to SF.

All for funerals.

Michael, today's game is actually on the main network NBC. Check your local listings, as they say.

Yes thanks, Mike.

I did see that today's game was on NBC but I did not find the same for the other two games against West Ham and United?
