Wolves and Everton scored just 31 and 34 Premier League goals last season respectively – fewer than Erling Haaland managed for Manchester City! You can certainly see why. Everton have only hit the target with two of their eight shots, while Wolves are yet to work Pickford from six attempts. One goal might be enough to win this one.

Craig Pawson's half-time whistle sounds, and it's still goalless between Everton and Wolves at Goodison Park. As many expected, it's been a tight, cagey affair lacking quality in the final third, but Dyche's hosts have created the better chances. Both Tarkowski and Danjuma have squandered good opportunities, while Wolves have lacked inspiration with Neto their only consistent threat. There's surely more to come from both teams after the break!
