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.

Chance… but the flag is up! Onana plays a lovely ball in behind Dawson, sending Calvert-Lewin clean through. However, the striker makes a meal of the chance, inviting Sa to smother the ball with an awkward touch, then the flag goes up against him anyway.

Good goalkeeping! Pickford has to remain alert to prevent Hwang reaching a long ball over the top, dashing off his line to make a crucial clearance near the edge of his own box. Hwang has made plenty of theatening runs in behind the Everton backline so far.

Everton look to break down their right flank after Ait-Nouri cedes possession, but Calvert-Lewin overhits his pass for Harrison, and it runs out for a throw. The visitors are yet to record a shot on target.

Sarabia's deep cross is punched clear by Pickford, who takes out his own team-mate Branthwaite in the process. Hwang is then penalised for a foul as Everton get a free-kick inside their own half.

Hwang darts down the left flank to latch onto Toti's clearance, getting there ahead of Tarkowski before being fouled from behind by the former Burnley man. Wolves get a free-kick near the corner flag, with Sarabia stood over the dead ball.

Onana goes off the pitch after receiving treatment, but the Belgian will re-enter the fray to give it another go. Dyche will be desperate to avoid losing his influential midfielder.
