It's been a similar story for Wolves, who are still awaiting their first points under Gary O'Neil. Despite a lack of transfer activity, they produced a positive display at Manchester United on Matchday One, only to be undone by poor finishing and the controversial denial of a late penalty. The mood at Molineux took a turn for the worse last week as Wolves were outclassed in a 4-1 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion, and they will know the importance of this tussle with a potential relegation rival.

It sounds ludicrous to be describing matches as 'must-win' in August, but Everton and Wolves will be under no illusions as to the importance of this game. Both sides have started the campaign with back-to-back defeats, with Sean Dyche's Toffees being thrashed 4-0 at Aston Villa last time out. Everton have endured a difficult transfer window and have plenty of injuries to contend with here – three points would really lift the glum mood at Goodison.
