Both sides took part in seven preseason friendly matches ahead of this encounter and Wolves performed much better compared to Everton, losing just one and winning three. They will feel more confident heading to this clash as compared to the visitors, who won just one game of preseason and have four straight losses heading to this game. Perhaps the best hopes for Everton going to this game will be the fact that they are unbeaten in six matches against Wolves, the two sides having drawn four of the last six and Everton winning two but that was way back and they will meet a new look Wolves side keen to start strongly at home where they excelled last season, scoring on average two goals per game. Wolves romped to the summit of the Championship after fine transfer dealings, managing 99 points and 82 goals, and they have as well done some good signings this time, with among others, Portuguese stars Rui Patricio, Joao Moutinho and Burkina Faso international Adama Traore joining the team. On the other side, Everton released a number of big players, including Ashley Williams and Ramiro Funes Mori and injuries leave them short in defence. For a side that has managed just one win in preseason friendly matches and conceded 10 goals in the last three, they should be worried. Wolves have lost just two of their last 17 matches and have scored in 16 of their last 19 matches. They however seem a bit short in defence, with just three clean sheets in 10 matches. They will be banking on a good home record that has seen the side go unbeaten in the last 11 matches and they have kept eight clean sheets in the last 15 matches at home. Wolves are unbeaten in their last nine competitive games and lost just once in the last 23 competitive home matches. Everton’s farcical 22 – 0 win over part timers Irdning in July was their only win of the preseason and they will be hoping for better prospects in this clash, having won just two of the last 10, and four in 15. Their defensive issues are all well documented, having kept just five in their last 15 matches and two in 15 away games but they have shown great prowess in attack, scoring in 13 of the last 15 matches. Everton have 10 losses in 15 away games and seven losses in their last 10 competitive matches as they head to this clash. Head to head, the two sides have met 94 times and Wolves have managed 32 wins, Everton 41.
