Both West Ham and Everton will be hoping for a more positive result when they prepare to take on each other in their second game of the Premier League Summer Series on Wednesday morning. The tournament, which also features both Bournemouth and Manchester United, is being played in the USA.
West Ham lost 2-1 to United last time out, while Everton lost 3-0 to Bournemouth. Nonetheless, both sides could play out an exciting encounter when they face off in preparation for the new Premier League season.

Everton preview: Defensive trio injured
Everton will once again be without the services of defenders Jarrad Branthwaite, James Tarkowski and Michael Keane through injury. Traditional full-backs Nathan Patterson and Vitalii Mykolenko had to play in the centre of defence in the Toffees' defeat to Bournemouth last time out, and may have to put in another shift there with a lack of other defensive options.
Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), Patterson, Mykolenko, McNeil, O'Brien, Gueye, Alcaraz, Garner, Iroegbunam, Ndiaye & Barry

Player to watch: Jarrod Bowen
Despite losing to Manchester United in their opening game of the Premier League Summer Series, Jarrod Bowen still managed to get on the scoresheet for West Ham. The English forward has continued his fine goalscoring run from the end of the 2024/25 campaign, where he managed to net in each of his last four matches in the top flight.
