After a humbling defeat at the hands of Bournemouth last Saturday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Everton have traveled to Chicago, where they'll play the second of three matches in the Premier League Summer Series.

Everton will once again play in the opening match of the pair, with Manchester United and Bournemouth set to kickoff sometime after the conclusion of the first match.

The match will be played at Soldier Field in Chicago, home of the NFL's Chicago Bears and MLS's Chicago Fire. The historic stadium opened in 1924, although it underwent a fairly sizable reconstruction in 2003. The Bears have played there since 1971.

The Toffees will be looking to bounce back from Saturday's showing, which actually began quite well throughout the first half, but turned into a bit of a massacre inside of 20 minutes after the second half kickoff.

No word on whether players who missed that match, such as centerback Michael Keane, will be available for tonight, or what the status of the likes of James Tarkowski and Seamus Coleman is, but expect another rather thin squad for Everton. Newly signed Adam Aznou's presence in the States has yet to be confirmed, although it's unlikely he would feature tonight anyway.

It would be excellent to see more of Thierno Barry and Harrison Armstrong, two young players who may yet play big roles for Everton this season.

How to Watch

For those in the States, the match will be available using the Peacock app, similar to how many Premier League games are throughout the regular season. In the UK, the matches will be shown live on Sky Sports.

The match kicks off at 5:30 PM local time, which is the Central time zone in the US, meaning 6:30 PM ET/3:30 PM PT in the States. For the UK Evertonians, that's an 11:30 PM kickoff, which is the opposite experience that most of us US-based supporters have when watching matches in England.

After the match, the Toffees will head to Atlanta for training and events centered around the final match of the series, against Manchester United on Sunday.
