TEAMS PREVIEW

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Preview

Aside from the three teams in the relegation zone, Wolves find themselves uncomfortably close to danger, just five points clear of the drop. Every game from here on carries immense pressure, and their challenge has only grown tougher with Matheus Cunha sidelined after his fiery outburst in the FA Cup clash against Bournemouth. 

Matheus Cunha saw red for a reckless headbutt in Wolves’ FA Cup shootout loss to Bournemouth. It is his second red card of the season, and with his fiery outburst under scrutiny, he now risks a lengthy ban at a crucial stage of the campaign.

With Cunha sidelined, the spotlight now shifts to Jørgen Strand Larsen to deliver the goals Wolves desperately need for survival. The Norwegian has played a key role with nine league goal contributions—second only to Cunha’s 17—but now, the pressure is on him to step up when it matters most.

Everton have been fast starters, with 19 of their 30 Premier League goals this season coming in the first half. Given Wolves' struggles when conceding first at Molineux, that stat doesn’t bode well for Pereira’s side

In the absence of Matheus Cunha, either Munetsi or Hwang Hee-chan could be drafted into the XI as Goncalo Guedes is still nursing an injury. 

Wolverhampton Probable XI -Sa (GK) ; Doherty, Bueno, Toti; Semedo, Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Munetsi; Larsen

Everton FC Preview

Unlike their drama-filled rivals, Everton’s recent outing against Brentford was less chaotic but just as intense. A late Jake O’Brien strike salvaged a 1-1 draw, extending their unbeaten Premier League run to seven games—a feat they haven’t achieved since the Ronald Koeman era in 2016-17. More importantly, the Toffees now sit comfortably with a 15-point cushion above the relegation zone.

With Dominic Calvert-Lewin sidelined, Beto has stepped up in style, netting five goals in his last five games and playing a crucial role in Everton’s impressive run. His red-hot form hasn’t gone unnoticed, earning him a nomination for February’s Premier League Fans' Player of the Month.

Everton have been rock-solid on the road, conceding just one goal or fewer in 10 of their last 11 Premier League away games—including their last six. Their defensive resilience has been a key factor in their impressive form

Team News 

Abdoulaye Doucouré is set to return for Everton after celebrating the birth of his son. However, they remain without Armando Broja, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Iliman Ndiaye, Seamus Coleman, Dwight McNeil, and Mangala—who found the net in the reverse fixture. 

Everton Probable XI - Pickford (GK); O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Alcaraz, Doucoure, Harrison; Beto

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS FC vs EVERTON FC
Winning Prediction

Everton enters with strong away form and recent dominance over Wolves, highlighted by a decisive four-goal victory. While Wolves hold a favorable head-to-head record, the absence of Cunha weakens their attack. Despite betting odds favoring Wolves, Everton's current momentum and recent performance suggest they are well-positioned for a win. We're backing Everton to capitalize on their form and secure victory.
