Everton travel to Molineux to take on Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday evening, and our match preview includes the latest team news and predicted lineups ahead of the action.
Wolves vs Everton Preview
Looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to eight consecutive matches, David Moyes and his Everton side travel to the West Midlands to take on Wolves at Molineux on Saturday evening.
Despite being separated by just one position in 16th and 17th in the table, the Toffees are 10 points clear of their Gameweek 29 counterparts and look to have steered themselves out of the relegation battle.
Last time out, they came from behind to hold Brentford to a 1-1 draw on the road, following on from a 2-2 stalemate against Manchester United in the game prior. Other notable results in recent weeks include a 2-2 draw against table-toppers and arch-rivals Liverpool and wins against Leicester, Brighton and Tottenham.
Depending on other results, the Merseyside outfit could climb as high as 13th in the English top-flight table with a victory over Wolves, as they head into the weekend just a point behind West Ham, Man United and Spurs.

The Old Gold, meanwhile, remain firmly in the fight for Premier League survival, sitting just five points clear of Ipswich and Leicester in the drop zone, and they come into the tie off the back of two successive defeats.
Last weekend, Vitor Pereira’s side suffered a painful exit from the FA Cup in the fifth round, losing to Bournemouth in a penalty shootout after playing out a 1-1 stalemate over the course of 120 minutes. Their last game in the league, over a week and a half ago, ended in a 2-1 defeat to Fulham at home.
Wolves and Everton last faced off in Gameweek 14, in which the Toffees, then managed by Sean Dyche, claimed a crucial 4-0 win courtesy of two own-goals from Craig Dawson, as well as goals from Ashley Young and Orel Mangala.
Wolves Team News
The hosts have an extensive absentee list heading into this one, with all of Leon Chiwome (knee), Yerson Mosquera (knee), Enso Gonzalez (knee), Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), Rodrigo Gomes (groin), Goncalo Guedes (knee) and Emmanuel Agbadou (thigh) missing out due to their respective injury concerns.
Star forward Matheus Cunha is also ruled out, having been slapped with a three-match ban, which could soon be extended to four, after receiving a red card against Bournemouth in the FA Cup last Saturday.
Everton Team News
As for the Toffees, they remain without Iliman Ndiaye (knee), Seamus Coleman (calf), Dwight McNeil (knee), Armando Broja (ankle) and Mangala (knee), while Dominic Calvert-Lewin (thigh) is a serious doubt.
Abdoulaye Doucoure, who missed the draw against Brentford last time out due to the birth of his child, should be available and will likely make his return to Moyes’ starting XI.
