Match Prediction: Wolves 1-1 Everton

Wolves have experienced a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. They have managed two wins in their last five matches, with victories against Bournemouth (1-0) and Aston Villa (2-0) providing some respite. 

However, defeats to Fulham (1-2), Liverpool (1-2), and Arsenal (0-1) have kept them hovering precariously above the relegation zone. Matheus Cunha has been a standout performer, consistently finding the net and proving to be a crucial asset for Wolves, but he is unavailable for this fixture after his dismissal in the FA Cup against Bournemouth. 

Everton, under the stewardship of David Moyes, have shown resilience in recent weeks. They are unbeaten in their last seven league matches, securing a significant win against Leicester City (4-0) and drawing against Brentford (1-1), Manchester United (2-2), and Liverpool (2-2). 

A victory over Crystal Palace (2-1) further highlights their upward trajectory. Despite a slew of injuries, Everton have managed to maintain a competitive edge, with Beto leading the charge in attack.

The recent encounters between Wolves and Everton have been closely contested. In their last five meetings, Everton have recorded two victories, including a comprehensive 4-0 win at Goodison Park in December 2024.

Wolves, however, claimed a 1-0 victory in August 2023, showcasing their ability to challenge the Toffees. Historically, matches between these sides have been high-scoring affairs, often decided by narrow margins.

Wolves are grappling with several injury concerns. Enso Gonzalez and Yerson Mosquera are sidelined with knee injuries, while Emmanuel Agbadou, Leon Chiwome and Rodrigo Gomes are also unavailable. Goncalo Guedes is a major injury doubt. Matheus Cunha will be a big loss after his sending off the FA Cup. 

The absence of these players could impact Wolves' defensive solidity and attacking options.

Wolves Predicted Line-up: Sá; Doherty, Bueno, Toti Gomes; Rayan Aït-Nouri; Gomes, André, Semedo; Bellegarde, Strand Larsen, Sarabia.

Everton Predicted Line-up: Pickford; O'Brien, Branthwaite, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner; Lindstrom, Doucoure, Harrison; Beto.

• Jørgen Strand Larsen vs James Tarkowski: Larsen's physicality will test Tarkowski's robust defensive style.
• João Gomes vs Idrissa Gueye: A midfield battle that could dictate the tempo of the game, with both players known for their tackling and distribution.
  
• Beto vs Toti Gomes: Beto's physical presence and aerial ability will challenge Wolves' defensive line, particularly Toti Gomes.
  

Wolves' Matheus Cunha has scored more goals from outside the box this season than any other player in the Premier League, showcasing his penchant for spectacular strikes. He will be a massive absence for the home team.
