Wolves have been in pretty good form, having taken ten points from their last five outings, recording three wins and their lone defeat in that period came against West Ham United on December 17. Gary O Neil’s side quickly bounced back with a 2-1 success over Chelsea on Christmas eve, before thrashing Brentford on Wednesday night. Mario Lemina opened the scoring inside the opening13 minutes, before Hwang Hee-Chan’s first-half double and Jean-Ricner Bellegrade’s 79th-minute effort helped the Wanderers secure their seventh league-win of the season at Gtech Community Stadium. Meanwhile, Wolves have been solid at home, having not tasted defeat in their previous seven fixtures at Molineux Stadium, recording four wins in the process.
Everton, on the other hand, have now reverted to losing ways after recording four successive wins against the likes of Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Burnley with an aggregate scoreline of 8-0 earlier this month. the Toffees have lost each of their last three outings with Everton, Tottenham and Manchester City. Sean Dyche’s side took the lead through Jack Harrison’s 29th-minute opener, but Man City fought back in the second-half to score three goals through Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez and Bernardo Silva, and thereby handed Everton their ninth league defeat of the campaign. The 17th-placed visitors have a high chance of ending the year in the relegation zone, as they only hold a one-point lead over Luton Town, who have a game in hand.
Wolverhampton Wanderers probable starting lineup: Sa, Kilman, Toti, Dawson, Semedo, Bellegarde, Gomes, Ait-Nouri, Cunha, Neto, Hwang
Everton probable starting lineup: Pickford, Coleman, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Harrison, Onana, Garner, Gomes, McNeil, Calvert-Lewin
