Unbeaten in their last six games in all competitions, Everton will have high hopes of extending their run against Mick McCarthy’s visitors. Wolves will have been under no illusions at the start of the season about how hard it will be to avoid relegation and that message was brought home to roost last time out when they became the first team to lose to bottom-of-the-table Portsmouth.

Expert Advice

Despite their lengthy injury list, Everton have been improving week by week and face a Wolves side short on confidence having won just once in their last eight outings in all competitions. Mick McCarthy’s injury list at Molineux is slowly clearly up but it’s only to have come in time for the clash at Goodison Park and, with the home side unbeaten at Goodison Park since the opening day of the season, an Everton win by two goals or more at Betsson odds of 2.09 looks the value.
