Tranmere Rovers 1 – 1 Everton XI [85']
An Everton XI that is expected to be made up of mostly Under-21 players travels to Prenton Park this afternoon for a run-out against Tranmere Rovers; kick-off is at 2 pm BST.
This match is expected to feature mostly players from the Under-21s while the available first-team squad are involved in the senior side’s second pre-season fixture that kicks off simultaneously at the DW Stadium against Wigan Athletic.

With this game being played at the same time as Everton are playing Wigan Athletic, the Tranmere game is not being streamed live. Highlights and a full match replay of the Tranmere game will be available on the Everton website later today.
With Sean Dyche at Prenton Park to watch the youngsters, it is very much a topline Under-21 teamsheet with last season’s loanees in addition to Holgate from the first-team squad.
