10’ - Doucs wins the header deep in the Wolves half, DCL is fouled and ball comes back to Doucs who hits it wildly over. He was offside, but the ref has given a freekick for the original foul on the striker, just outside the box.
Ashley Young is standing over it with determination, hits it low and beats Sa!!! Sneaks it in around the wall and at the far post, 1-0 to the Toffees!!!
8’ - Pickford! Cunha pounces on a loose ball and gets it back to him, and fires off a shot that the England #1 does very well to save low on his left.
4’ - Miscommunication between Dawson and Sa, but Everton not near the ball to take advantage.
Now Wolves win a corner off a Tarkowski block. Wild shot from Gomes, and the Blues have a let-off.
3’ - Ndiaye working hard and steals the ball off Cunha on the edge of the attacking third, only for Doucoure to promptly lose the ball and concede a foul.
2’ - Trouble already. Ait-Nouri screams down the left wide open, and his cutback is perfect to Strand Larsen, but the Dane makes a right hash of it. Phew.
1’ - We’re underway!
Relish that air-raid siren and then the dulcet notes of Z Cars ringing out in the Grand Old Lady as we are into the last few games to be played at Goodison Park, especially a night game under the lights.
Speaking of the lights at Goodison, did you catch this?
Everton - Sean Dyche goes even more conservative, dropping Lindstrom to make room for Mangala. At least this will put McNeil back out wide.
Wolves - Gary O’Neil makes four changes from the weekend.
Everton need to win, now. No more ifs, buts and any other variety of excuses. With the difficult schedule they face for the next month or so, the Toffees will need to grab as many points as they can from home games, especially against teams around them in the table.
Wolves endured the most difficult start to a Premier League season ever (according to the statisticians), which is about the only reason they are behind the Blues in the table. However, with Matheus Cunha scoring worldies every other week, they are looking to climb up the standings.
The Everton fanbase is depressed and frustrated, and a poor start today will only serve to demoralize the Goodison crowd further, and they will end up taking it out on the players on the pitch.

The Wolves completed the double over the Toffees last season, winning 1-0 at Goodison and 3-0 at Molineux. In fact, the Blues have failed to beat Wolves in their last six games, with five defeats and a draw, scoring thrice and conceding ten times. Yikes.
