The atmosphere at the Hill Dicko is tense following a bruising 4-2 home defeat to Brentford yesterday. Everton’s last five matches have been a mixed bag of results. While Thierno Barry has started firing, the Toffees’ backline has looked porous, particularly during the festive period. To survive MD 21, Everton will likely need to focus on the basics to deny any chance of handing Wolves a second win of the season in embarassing fashion.

• Manchester United 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers (Premier League)
• Liverpool 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers (Premier League)
• Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-2 Brentford (Premier League)
• Arsenal 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers (Premier League)

Wolves finally found their spark last time out, thumping West Ham 3-0 to secure their first Premier League win of the 2025/26 season. Before this, their form was dismal, but the dominant nature of the victory, led by Mateus Mane and Hwang Hee-chan, has completely shifted the mood at Molineux. They are no longer the league's "easy win"; they played with a high-intensity press that West Ham couldn't handle, picking up respectable results against Man United, Liverpool, and Arsenal as well. Heading into the Everton game, Wolves have the psychological advantage. They are catching a demoralized Everton side at the perfect time and will likely look to use their newfound clinical edge to start a genuine climb out of the basement.

Key Players to Watch: Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Thierno Barry (Everton): By the start of December, 16 games into his Everton move, and yet to score a goal, questions were being raised over Barry’s capabilities in the Premier League. However after scoring three since then including a late header in the Toffees’ loss to Brentford, it appears we are finally seeing why Everton spent £25 million+ on his services.

Mateus Mane (Wolverhampton Wanderers): Born in 2007, Mane has started Wolves’ last three games in mature style. Rob Edwards is handing him more and more responsibilities culminating in a man of the match performance against West Ham, as the 18-year-old won a penalty and scored an excellent strike.
