Gary O’Neil will be hoping to push his Wolves team into the top half of the table as they host Everton at Molineux this afternoon. The midlands club are in good form with two wins from their last two matches including a 4-1 hammering of Brentford last time out.

Should Wolves replicate that form this afternoon they can easily challenge Sean Dyche’s Everton who are looking to move further away from the relegation zone.

The Toffees’ 10-point deduction has sent them into a relegation battle as they are one point above the bottom three. Consecutive defeats to Tottenham and Manchester City halted a winning run of four league games in a row for the Merseryside club who will be hoping to get back to winning ways this afternoon.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below:

BALL IN THE NET, BUT THE FLAG IS UP! Cunha teases another great ball in behind Everton's inexplicably high line, allowing Hwang to race through one-on-one. He makes no mistake, opening his body before bending a shot into the bottom-left corner, but the assistant raises his flag and replays show he was narrowly ahead of the last man. Unlucky!

GREAT STOP! Pickford denies Wolves a fourth! Cunha plays a great throughball into the path of Hwang, who shoots first-time across goal, looking for the bottom-left corner. Pickford makes a brilliant reflex save, throwing out a fingertip to tip it wide! Everton are so open at the back!

Great move! Wolves are enjoying themselves now. Joao Gomes plays a delicate flick into Sarabia, who plays a clever give-and-go with Hwang before feeing it back into the path of Joao Gomes. The midfielder sits Branthwaite down before hammering a shot at goal, but unfortunately for Wolves, it's straight at Pickford!

OFF THE POST! McNeil almost gets one back for the visitors! The former Burnley man takes aim from 25 yards out, crashing his left-footed effort off the upright and away! That was a warning for Wolves – Sa wasn't getting there.

Everton look to have settled back into their usual 4-5-1 shape now, with Andre Gomes joining Onana and Garner in the engine room. They struggled to adapt to using a back three, with Tarkowski in particular being dragged all over the place from the right side of defence.

There was a brief VAR check for offside against Dawson, but it was swiftly cleared, much to the delight of the Molineux crowd!
