EFC Brief
Jordan Pickford is the headline act for Evertonians here, England's undisputed number one and the only current Blue on either teamsheet. Since arriving at Goodison in 2017 he's been a fixture between the sticks for club and country, and a Mexico side unafraid to shoot from distance will test that famously loud command of his box. Behind him there's a familiar face in Anthony Gordon, the academy graduate who came through at Everton before his 2023 move, now pushing for minutes in an England attack packed with quality. The wider EFC-linked contingent runs deep, with Ezri Konsa, Marc Guéhi, Declan Rice, Elliot Anderson and Nico O'Reilly all carrying Toffee connections of one shade or another. For Mexico, the lone thread is Raúl Jiménez, the veteran striker whose name has long drifted through Everton circles. Confirmed lineups are in, and kickoff comes at 8:00 PM ET.
