Overview
- Everton head to Molineux on Saturday after consecutive 2-0 wins at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium against Brighton in the league and Mansfield Town in the EFL Cup.
- Wolves earned a morale boost in midweek by turning a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 EFL Cup win over West Ham, with Jorgen Strand Larsen coming off the bench to score twice.
- Strand Larsen has drawn reported £50m interest from Newcastle United and is understood to want the move, yet he is still expected to start for Wolves.
- Vitor Pereira continues with a 3-4-2-1 that leaves space on the flanks and a high back line, with Wolves having conceded seven goals across three matches and posting the Premier League’s second-worst xG against so far.
- Team news points to Toti Gomes being available after suspension for Wolves, while Everton welcome back Vitaliy Mykolenko, a change that could return James Garner to midfield after his stint at left-back.
