Everton are looking to make it three wins on the bounce when they take on Wolves at Molineux in the Premier League on Saturday.
Everton beat Mansfield Town 2-0 on Wednesday, on a night where 18-year-old Harrison Armstrong starred, picking up two assists for the Toffees.
Carlos Alcarez and Beto scored the goals and impressed, but Thierno Barry attracted criticism from Charlie Adam for his performance.
That win followed Everton’s 2-0 victory over Brighton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with goals from Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner earning David Moyes’ side their first three points of the season.
And the Scot will hope his side can continue their good form against Wolves, with several changes expected to the side that beat Mansfield.

David Moyes to hand Beto start vs Wolves
Beto was criticised for his performance when Everton lost 1-0 to Leeds United, with the striker dropped for Barry against Brighton.
But the £27million signing from Villarreal has struggled to adapt to the English game in his short time on the pitch so far, which may tempt Moyes into returning to the reliable Beto.
