Next up for Everton is a trip to winless Wolves, as David Moyes looks to record back-to-back Premier League wins.
Everton’s 2-0 victory over Brighton has kick-started their season, and a win against Wolves could see the Toffees go into the international break with real momentum.
The performances of Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye in the grand opening of the Hill Dickinson Stadium has given fans good faith that Everton could perhaps push for a top-half finish this season.

Everton’s defensive record has them primed to match Man City
Everton’s defence has been fantastic since Moyes returned to the club, and if the Toffees concede one goal or fewer against Wolves, they will equal a feat achieved by Manchester City.
As reported by the BBC, Everton haven’t conceded more than once in any of their last 13 away Premier League matches (W5 D4 L4), though they did lose 1-0 last time out at Leeds. The last side to have a longer run was Manchester City between October 2021 and May 2022 (14).

Strong defensive displays in 2024/25 ensured Everton travelled to Manchester City, Arsenal, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, and achieved positive results.
Everton are linked with Barcelona right-back Hector Fort, with David Moyes still wanting more depth in defence after an exciting transfer window has seen them spend over £100million.

It has also been reported that Everton have made a new bid for West Ham’s Tomas Soucek, with the Hammers valuing the Czech international at £19m.
Moyes would love to be reunited with his former player, and Soucek is interested in moving to Everton, with the 30-year-old a suitable replacement for Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Jordan Pickford set to challenge for Golden Glove award yet again
Pickford has already started the season in brilliant form, highlighted by his penalty save against Brighton.
As a result, Pickford earned his first clean sheet of the season, and he looks set to make a challenge for the Golden Glove award.
Given to the goalkeeper who keeps the most clean sheets in the Premier League season, the Golden Glove was won by Arsenal’s David Raya and Nottingham Forest’s Matz Sels, with them both achieving 13.
Pickford was one short of that total last season, and with Moyes ready to take charge of his first full season, there’s a chance that Pickford could win this award if his side to continue to defend resolutely away from home.
