Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
Gone are the days of Everton spending extravagantly in the transfer market; during a time when almost every Premier League club is splashing the cash, Everton have had to restrain themselves. Their most expensive acquisition has been Portuguese striker Youssef Chermiti for €12.5 million from Sporting CP; the 19-year-old is expected to provide competition to the injury-prone Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Signing Ashley Young in 2023 does not inspire confidence; Young was certainly a useful player in his prime, but the 38-year-old cannot be expected to start every game. Much will be expected from Dutch winger Arnaut Danjuma as a result; the 26-year-old has long been touted as a potential star.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, too, are sailing on a similar boat to Everton's when it comes to transfers. Not much activity has been witnessed, and Julen Lopetegui has left the club due to the transfer inactivity.
Gary O'Neil did a commendable job at Bournemouth last season, and Wolves played some good football against Manchester United in the first game. There could be outgoings though; Manchester City have been heavily linked with Portuguese midfielder Matheus Nunes recently.
A close game is on the cards, with Everton emerging victorious.
Prediction: Everton 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers
