Everton have had mixed fortunes at Molineux since Wolves have returned to the Premier League, but with Alex Iwobi scoring in his last two visits there and the Blues going into this clash looking to avoid the drop, stakes couldn’t be higher on Saturday afternoon.
The Toffees’ traveling contingent has done the club proud in recent weeks, making themselves heard with vim and vigour at the King Power and then the Amex stadiums. They’ll be needed later today as the Blues look to distance themselves from the bottom three ahead of next week’s finale against AFC Bournemouth.
Wolves themselves at one point had been drawn into the relegation battle, but a handful of timely victories saw them climb away from danger. It’ll be hard to see them motivated by anything more than inflicting harm upon an Everton side that has more often than not being neck and neck with them trying to clamber into the upper half of the table.

Everton
Wolves
The Blues were pretty woeful on Boxing Day at home against Wolves, scoring early on from a rare Yerry Mina appearance before conceding a late winner on the counter as they pushed forward in search of a winner, egged on by a restless Goodison Park crowd.
On their last visit to Molineux, they had fallen behind to a pair of quick fire goals at the half-hour mark, with a second half goal from Iwobi not enough to snatch a draw.
