Everton return to action this Saturday following their mid-season training camp in the United Arab Emirates, with a trip to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Toffees are targeting an eighth consecutive unbeaten league game to bolster their climb up the table, while Wolves, hovering precariously five points above the relegation zone, are desperate for points to ease their survival concerns.
Everton head into this fixture in solid shape, sitting fourth in the form table and unbeaten in their last seven league matches under David Moyes. However, the Toffees have hit a slight bump, securing just one win in their last four outings—though their confidence will be buoyed by the 4-0 demolition of their upcoming opponents in December. That victory snapped a six-game winless streak against the Wanderers – and only in 2020-21 have the Blues ever done the Premier League double over the Molineux club.
Team news offers a mixed bag for Everton. Youssef Chermiti and Nathan Patterson return to the squad, but injuries continue to plague the Blues, with Dwight McNeil, Iliman Ndiaye, Armando Broja, Orel Mangala, Seamus Coleman, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin all ruled out.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have struggled recently, losing two of their last three Premier League matches and suffering an FA Cup exit on penalties to Bournemouth. They sit just five points above the relegation zone and will be without key forward Matheus Cunha, who is suspended, while Mosquera, Kalajdzic, Gonzalez, and Chiwone remain sidelined through injury.
Molineux has been a challenging venue for Everton in recent years, with the Blues winning just once in their last seven visits. Last season, Wolves ran out 3-0 winners in this fixture, so Moyes’ men will be eager to put that right.
Wolves v Everton will be live on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate, with coverage from 19:00 UK time on Saturday 8th March March 8, ahead of kick-off at 20:00.
