Follow live coverage as Everton face Wolverhampton Wanderers today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Everton are remaining patient in possession as we edge closer to half-time. The Toffees aren't taking too many risks, with Dyche's side hoping to keep their leading heading into the break.

Dyche will, of course, be the happier of the two managers here, but he has to ensure his side are aware of the threat of Wolves on the break. O'Neil's side have looked dangerous at times, but it's Everton who have been more clinical.

Mangala is booked for a foul with his trailing leg, just outside the penalty area.

GOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL!!!! 2-0 EVERTON!! This time it counts! McNeil delivers a cross into the box and it's headed away, but only as far as Mykolenko. He scuffs his volley, but it rebounds to Mangala on the edge of the box. The Belgian midfielder hits it on the half-volley, and it flies into the back of the net!

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Close again from Wolves! A pass is fired out wide to Doherty and he hits a first-time volley across goal. Strand Larsen flings himself at it, but he can't connect properly with the shot. He was unmarked in the box!

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Doucoure breaks down the right-hand side and plays a short pass to Ndiaye in space on the edge of the penalty area. He tries to beat his man with plenty of team-mates in the box, but he fails to do so and Wolves win it back.

Big save! Doherty throws the ball into the feet of Strand Larsen, and he spins Tarkowski inside the box. He only has Pickford to beat and Strand Larsen strikes low, but Pickford gets down well to make an excellent stop!

Doucoure turns and quickly feeds McNeil on the edge of the penalty area. He's pressed instantly but manages to get his shot off, but his effort is blocked and Wolves can clear.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Tarkowski is down at the moment after a collision with Cunha. The defender is going to require treatment after being struck in the face, so there's going to be a short delay. It's a chance for both managers to bring in their players and issue some instructions.

4 December 2024 19:56

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Everton counter-attack and Mangala receives the ball just outside the box before picking out Young on the overlap. He fires a cross low and hard across goal, but none of his team-mates are on the same wavelength and it's behind for a goal-kick.
