Key Players to Watch

Wolverhampton Wanderers

• Jørgen Strand Larsen (FWD): 6 goals, 2 assists in Premier League; Wolves’ top scorer with physicality.

• João Gomes (MID): 3 goals, 4 assists; tenacious midfielder with flair.

• José Sá (GK): 4 clean sheets; vital despite defensive woes.

Everton

• Beto (FWD): 6 goals, 2 assists in Premier League; Everton’s joint-top scorer with recent form.

• Abdoulaye Doucouré (MID): 5 goals, 3 assists; thrives in Moyes’ advanced role.

• Jordan Pickford (GK): 6 clean sheets; key to their unbeaten run.

Tactical Insights & Match Dynamics

Wolves’ 4-2-3-1 (1.22 goals per game) relies on Larsen’s finishing and Gomes’s energy, targeting Everton’s moderate away defense (1.38 goals conceded per game), though Matheus Cunha’s suspension (red card vs. Bournemouth) and injuries to Guedes, Mosquera, and Kalajdzic weaken their attack, per Football Whispers. Everton’s 4-4-2 (1.26 goals per game) hinges on Beto’s movement and Doucouré’s creativity, aiming to counter (avg. 48% possession away), with Dwight McNeil and Dominic Calvert-Lewin doubtful (injuries) but Jake O’Brien likely stepping up. Molineux’s 31,000 fans will rally Wolves, but Everton’s resilience could lead to a tight, low-scoring affair.
