The West Midlands outfit face Everton at Molineux and will be hoping to kickstart their season and get the first points on the board, as well as the first league goals. Here is our Wolves predicted lineup.

Injuries To Consider
Jørgen Strand Larsen is reportedly carrying a minor injury. Pereira has said: “At this moment he is our player, he has a good personality, he is a team player. He is dealing with a small injury, I hope he can play tomorrow”. Wolves don’t have any other injury concerns.
