Everton and Wolves, both nursing the wounds of weekend defeats, are set to clash on Wednesday in what promises to be a crucial encounter for two teams struggling to find their footing in the Premier League.
For Everton, the 4-0 defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday was a harsh reminder of their attacking struggles, with their last goal coming back in late October. It’s a worrying trend for Sean Dyche’s men, who currently sit as one of the lowest-scoring sides in the division—a stat that underscores their need for a turnaround.
Adding to their woes is a dismal record against Wolves in recent meetings. The Toffees have lost five of their last six encounters with the Midlands side, including three consecutive home defeats, each by the narrowest of margins. Goodison Park, once a fortress, hasn’t been the source of solace it used to be. Still, some optimism lingers among Everton fans, who point to their unbeaten home league run since September. While it includes only one win and three draws, it provides a glimmer of hope that their fortunes could change.
On the opposite side, Wolves arrive with their own defensive frailties to address. No clean sheet on the road since January and the distinction of having the league’s most porous defense highlight the challenge Gary O’Neil faces. Their latest setback—a 4-2 home defeat to Bournemouth—was particularly painful. Conceding three goals in the opening 18 minutes, they found themselves playing catch-up for the rest of the match. That loss saw them drop back into the relegation zone, a stark reality check after what had been a promising unbeaten run of four games.
The discontent among Wolves fans was palpable at Molineux, with some expressing frustration over O’Neil’s managerial record. A win percentage of 33.3%—the lowest among the club’s last seven managers—has raised questions about his ability to steer the team to safety. However, O’Neil remains defiant, vowing to have his side ready for the battle at Goodison Park. His confidence is buoyed by their last away victory, a resounding 4-1 triumph over Fulham, which showcased their attacking potential.
For Everton, veteran defender Ashley Young could play a pivotal role. While his personal record against Wolves is far from impressive—no goal contributions and a series of winless outings—he remains a key creative force. Notably, Young assisted two of Everton’s last three goals at home, demonstrating his ability to deliver in crucial moments. With Everton’s attack in desperate need of a spark, his experience and delivery from wide areas could be vital.
Meanwhile, Wolves will be looking to Matheus Cunha to continue his fine form away from home. The Brazilian forward has been directly involved in six goals across the last four away matches, netting five times and providing one assist. His influence was evident in his last meeting with Everton, where he found the back of the net and set up another goal. Cunha’s ability to exploit defensive gaps and convert chances will be central to Wolves’ hopes of securing a much-needed victory.
The stakes are high for both teams, with Everton eager to snap a five-match winless run in the league and Wolves desperate to climb out of the relegation zone. Everton’s home crowd could be a decisive factor, providing the energy and support needed to lift their team. Yet, Wolves have shown they can be dangerous on the road, especially in high-scoring affairs. Their last five away games have all featured four or more goals, suggesting that Wednesday’s contest could be another action-packed encounter.
Ultimately, this matchup presents a classic case of two teams seeking redemption. For Everton, it’s about rediscovering their attacking edge and making Goodison Park a fortress once again. For Wolves, it’s a quest to tighten their defense while capitalizing on the attacking talents of players like Cunha. With both sides in desperate need of points, fans can expect a tense, hard-fought battle under the Goodison lights.
