Both Everton and Wolves are desperate for a win after disappointing performances. The upcoming match at Goodison Park could be a turning point for either team in the league.
Everton suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against Manchester United. Coach Sean Dyche was frustrated with the team’s poor defense. The team has not won in five Premier League matches and is only two points above the relegation zone. Fans are growing anxious as the team struggles to create scoring opportunities.
On the other hand, Wolves had hoped to build on their recent success after winning two games in a row. However, they faced a setback, losing 4-2 at home to Bournemouth. The team made several mistakes, including conceding three penalties. Currently, Wolves find themselves in the relegation zone with just nine points from 13 matches.
Kick-off for the match is scheduled for 2:30 PM ET on Wednesday. Fans can watch the game live on Peacock.
For Everton, there may be changes in the lineup. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who did not start against Manchester United, could return. Defensive players Branthwaite and Tarkowski made critical errors, so one of them might be replaced by Jake O’Brien. Other players like Harrison, Mangala, and Patterson could also see action.
Several players are unavailable for Everton, including Dele Alli due to a groin injury and Timothy Iroegbunam with an ankle issue. James Garner is also out with a back problem. Youssef Chermiti and Armando Broja are questionable for the match.
Wolves are also dealing with their own challenges. Goalkeeper Jose Sa had a poor performance against Bournemouth, and Sam Johnstone might take his place. Attackers Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha are key players for Wolves, who will look to capitalize on any mistakes made by Everton.
Wolves have several players out, including Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traore, Enso Medina, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Nelson Semedo, who is suspended. Pedro Lima’s fitness is uncertain.
This match is expected to be close and tense. Everton will need to take the initiative at some point. It is likely that they will push harder in the second half, and they may have an advantage with set-piece opportunities. The prediction is a narrow win for Everton, possibly 2-1 against Wolves.
