Everton manager David Moyes is expected to make one change to his starting line-up when his side visit Wolves on Saturday.
The Blues are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League matches after the 1-1 draw with Brentford (26 February).
The Toffees will fancy their chances against a Wolves team that has won just two of their last nine league matches despite having several key players ruled out through injury.
As a result of those issues, the Scotsman is predicted to a name a mostly unchanged line-up against the side that sit just above the relegation zone.

Idrissa Gueye to be dropped by Moyes
Midfield is where the only change might come with Tim Iroegbunam replacing Idrissa Gueye to maintain the latter’s fitness despite an impressive showing against the Bees as the last thing that the Blues need is anymore injuries in the engine room with loanee Orel Mangala ruled out for the rest of the season.

Moyes is expected to persist with James Garner next to the former Aston Villa man as the 23-year-old has been vital since he returned from injury.
Jesper Lindstrom and Jack Harrison are predicted to keep their places on the wings as Dwight NcNeil and Iliman Ndiaye are not expected to return from issues yet.
Carlos Alcaraz has made a stunning start to live at Goodison Park and might continue in the advanced midfielder role with Abdoulaye Doucoure being forced to settle for a place on the bench.
Meanwhile, Beto is expected to get the nod upfront with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja still injured and Youssef Chermiti only just returning.
The Guinea-Bissau forward has notched five goals in his last five league matches in a stunning turnaround since Moyes took charge, the Blues will need him to be on form again if they are to come away with three points.
