- Over 1.5 goals for Everton
Wolves come into this contest with a mixture of relief and trepidation. Relief, because they finally managed to taste victory in midweek, dispatching West Ham 3-2 in the Carabao Cup thanks to a quickfire brace from Jørgen Strand Larsen. Trepidation, because their Premier League form has been far from convincing, with back-to-back defeats to open the campaign against Manchester City (4-0) and Bournemouth (1-0). Those reversals left fans questioning whether this would be another season of nervy survival rather than mid-table comfort.
Manager Vítor Pereira will have been pleased with the resilience his side showed to dig out a much-needed victory in cup competition, but he knows the real pressure comes in the league. The Old Gold enter this fixture without a goal in their last two Premier League outings, and with no victories in 11 home league games played in August (D6, L5), the mood around Molineux remains subdued. Breaking that hoodoo will be essential if Wolves want to start easing fears of being dragged into another relegation battle.
Everton, on the other hand, make the trip to the West Midlands with a renewed sense of optimism. A 2-0 win over Brighton at the weekend at their new home, Hill Dickinson Stadium, lifted spirits after an underwhelming summer and ensured they head into this clash with three points on the board. Manager David Moyes, back in familiar surroundings after rejoining the club, has wasted no time in shaping the squad, with big-money arrivals such as teenager Tyler Dibling adding to their options. In total, Everton have spent around £100m this summer, and Moyes will be keen to see a return on that heavy investment.
The Toffees’ record away from home offers reason for encouragement too. Having won five of their last ten away league games (D2, L3), they’ve shown the ability to compete on their travels. With Wolves short of goals and confidence, Everton will feel this is an opportunity to put together consecutive wins and firmly establish themselves in the early top half of the table.
تاريخ المواجهات المباشرة
Historically, Wolves have enjoyed the better of this fixture in recent years, losing just once in the last eight Premier League meetings with Everton (W5, D2, L1). That run includes three victories in their last four encounters. However, matches at Molineux have often been hard to call. Of the last eight league H2Hs hosted here, half ended in stalemates, with Wolves winning three and Everton once.
Everton will take heart from their ability to frustrate Wolves on the road, while the hosts will hope their strong recent H2H record overall provides the foundation to spark their season into life.
الإحصائيات والتسلسلات الساخنة
- Wolves have lost their last three home Premier League games in August, conceding at least four goals on each occasion.
- No side registered fewer shots than Wolves across the opening two Premier League rounds this season (15).
- Everton haven’t conceded more than once in any of their last 13 Premier League away games.
- David Moyes is unbeaten in his last seven matches against Wolves as Everton boss (W2, D5).
These numbers highlight Wolves’ struggles at home and Everton’s defensive solidity, painting a picture of a contest that could be decided by small margins.
اللاعبون الرئيسيون الذين يجب متابعتهم
يورغن ستراند لارسن (الذئاب)
Strand Larsen’s quickfire double against West Ham demonstrated his sharpness in front of goal. With speculation continuing over his long-term future at the club, the Norwegian striker will look to continue his good run.
He also ended last season strongly with three goal contributions in two matches (one goal, two assists), making him Wolves’ most reliable attacking outlet.
جاك جريليش (إيفرتون)
Grealish’s move on loan from Manchester City raised plenty of eyebrows, but the midfielder has slotted straight into Moyes’ system, recording two assists in as many appearances.
Another assist here would see him become the first Everton player since Bryan Oviedo (2012/13) to register an assist in his first two league starts for the club. His creativity and ability to draw fouls in dangerous areas could be crucial in unlocking Wolves’ backline.
Team News
Wolves are boosted by the return of Toti Gomes from suspension, strengthening their defensive ranks. Otherwise, Pereira has a near full squad to select from.
For Everton, key defender Jarrad Branthwaite remains sidelined, but otherwise Moyes is expected to field a strong lineup, with his new signings pushing for starts.
التنبؤ
This clash pits Wolves’ lack of cutting edge against Everton’s new-found defensive stability. The hosts have failed to score in either of their opening two league fixtures, while the Toffees are yet to concede from open play this term. Moyes’ sides are often built on a solid defensive structure, and that discipline could see Everton grind out another positive result here.
Best Bet: Everton to win and keep a clean sheet: Wolves 0-2 Everton
The stats support this selection, with Wolves creating very little in attack so far, and Everton proving difficult to break down.
التنبؤ
Wolves 0-2 Everton
Everton’s momentum from their Brighton win and Wolves’ lack of firepower could see the Toffees edge this encounter, piling further early pressure on Pereira.
