Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to Merseyside to face Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Wolves remain anchored to the bottom of the Premier League table despite a dominant win against West Ham last time out. Everton, however, sit comfortably in 12th away from relegation concerns. Rob Edwards’ men will hope to carry the momentum from the previous two results into this game. Here is our Wolves predicted lineup.
Wolves’ season has been defined by inconsistency and defensive struggles; however, last time out against West Ham, they secured their first win of the season and kept a clean sheet. José Sá started in goal, covered by a back three of Santiago Bueno, Yerson Mosquera, and Ladislav Krejčí.
The midfield was made up of Jackson Tchatchoua, Jhon Arias, João Gomes, Matues Mané, and Hugo Bueno. The forward line consisted of Tolu Arokodare and Hwang Hee-chan.
Wolves’ Premier League campaign so far has been brutal, with a notable lack of attacking output and fragility at the back. Edwards has predominantly stuck with a 3-5-2 formation, with the wingbacks transitioning into attack when Wolves have the ball, while the midfielders are tasked with both ball recovery and transitional play.
Wolves’ recent form has injected a rare sense of positivity into what has otherwise been a miserable season. The 1-1 draw at Old Trafford was characterised by organised defending and a clinical set-piece goal, while the 3-0 win over West Ham showed that Wolves do have some attacking firepower after all.
Both Gomes and Hee-chan went off injured during the West Ham game, but Edwards said they would both be available against Everton during the pre-match press conference. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Rodrigo Gomes, Toti Gomes, and Marshall Munetsi remain unavailable due to injury.
GK: José Sá
