Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers prediction, preview, team news and more | Premier League 2020-21
The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Everton lock horns with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Goodison Park on Wednesday. Both teams have been fairly inconsistent this season and have a point to prove going into this game.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are in 12th place in the Premier League standings at the moment and have largely failed to meet expectations this season. The away side suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend and will need to bounce back in this match.
Everton, on the other hand, currently find themselves in eighth place in the league table and have slumped after a strong start to their campaign. The Toffees were stunned by a relegated Sheffield United side in their previous game and cannot afford another debacle on Wednesday.
Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Head-to-Head
Everton have a good historical record against Wolverhampton Wanderers and have won 62 games out of a total of 135 matches played between the two teams. Wolverhampton Wanderers have managed 46 victories against Everton and can trouble their opponents this week.
The reverse fixture between the two English sides took place in January earlier this year and ended in a 2-1 victory for Everton. Michael Keane scored the winning goal on the day and will have an important role to play on Wednesday.
