Good afternoon and welcome to the ECHO’s live coverage of Everton’s trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
After their first two competitive games at Hill Dickinson Stadium - 2-0 wins against Brighton & Hove Albion and Mansfield Town - the Blues are back on the road again.
For the team and manager David Moyes, the match represents a fine chance to get their first away points of the new season. In Week 1, they were well below their best in a 1-0 loss at Leeds United.
This weekend Moyes has a full-fit Jack Grealish to call upon, while Vitalii Mykolenko is set to start his first Premier League game of the season having missed the first two. Tyler Dibling, who arrived in a big-money move from Southampton this week, is also set to be part of the matchday squad.

Having lost some key players this summer in Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha, supporters have been a little restless going into the new campaign; Jorgen Strand Larsen is also reportedly set to miss the game today amid interest from Newcastle United.
The striker scored twice in midweek for Wolves in a dramatic 3-2 win over West Ham United. in the Carabao Cup. They will face Everton at Molineux in the third round.
