Everton starlets to face Benfica, Celtic and Real Sociedad this summerBlues invited to take part in U21 version of SuperCupNI - formerly known as the Milk CupEverton under-21s will take part in a prestigious summer tournament as part of a ramped-up pre-season schedule. David Unsworth’s side are one of the four teams in the SuperCupNI - formerly known as the Milk Cup - in Northern Ireland. The tournament has launched an U21 section for the first time and Everton will face Benfica, Celtic and Real Sociedad. The SuperCupNI takes place between July 24-29 and will form the centrepiece of the Blues’ preparations for the 2016-17 season. Unsworth has confirmed that Everton are exploring the possibility of lining up friendlies with Football League opposition. Last summer, the Everton second string faced non-league sides such as Burscough, Southport and Tranmere but Unsworth wants to test his talented U21 group further this pre-season. “Pre-season will maybe go up a notch,” Unsworth said. “We are going to keep ramping it up a gear, even if it’s just five or 10%.” Everton are in the final of the Lancashire Senior Cup and the semi-final of the Liverpool Senior Cup but have yet to receive dates for these ties.
