Jack Grealish has already warned Everton about West Ham danger man
Everton host West Ham on Monday looking to return to winning ways.
Everton crashed out of the Carabao Cup against Wolves in midweek, and David Moyes needs his side to bounce back.
Everton could be missing Jarrad Branthwaite and Merlin Rohl for the Hill Dickinson Stadium contest on 29 September.
However, the Hammers also have absentees, although there is one star that Grealish knows all about, who could hurt the Blues, who are looking for a first win in three, as per Sofascore.
Jack Grealish has already made Jarrod Bowen admission
Everton star Grealish is looking for an England recall, and he will come against Jarrod Bowen, who is fighting against him for a place in Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad.
The Blues ace has already admitted his admiration for the 28-year-old, who he will come up against on Monday, and could be the difference-maker.
Speaking to The Times after Bowen returned to the Three Lions squad for the first time in over a year in October 2023, he said: “The quality we have in the attacking areas, especially on the wing, is maybe the best in world football.
“It’ll be a tough decision for the manager because there’s so much talent in those spaces.
“There’s Saka, Foden, Rashford, myself. Jarrod [Bowen] has been on fire and now he’s here.”
What is Jarrod Bowen’s record against Everton?
Bowen is one of the most dangerous players in the Premier League when he is on form, and he has notched two goals in five matches this season.
He has played 10 times against the Toffees in his career, with five wins, two draws and three losses in that time.
The Hammers ace has notched three goals and three assists against the Merseysiders, and will be hoping to expand that record when Graham Potter’s side travel to Merseyside.
- Bowen notched a goal at home and an away assist against the Blues in the 2021/22 season
- He scored two goals in a 2-0 win in the 2022/23 campaign
- The Three Lions star notched an assist away from home against the Toffees in the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons
Grealish is fully aware of the quality that the former Hull City man provides, and he will be giving his teammates some tips ahead of the contest, to help them get the better of Bowen.
Moyes will be familiar with the threat that Bowen brings, after his time as Irons boss, and will surely have a plan to deal with him when the sides face off.
