Everton’s season of woe continued on Monday, with Frank Lampard’s men going down 5-0 to Tottenham after failing to register a single shot on target for a second Premier League (PL) road trip in succession. Rumours of a potential points deduction due to breaching financial regulations have also surfaced, and once again, the ‘Toffees’ can only hope to draw on home comforts in their quest for survival, having scored seven times across two home wins against top-flight opposition under their new boss.
A strong goalscoring start may help Lampard’s men here, especially with Everton winning two of the meagre three home league games this season to see them net first inside the opening 30 minutes. That would, however, involve Everton adding to their joint-low tally of just eight first-half PL goals.
Following a midweek 4-0 win over Watford to keep their European dreams alive, Wolves will fancy their chances of adding to their solitary PL win at Goodison Park, attained in February 2019 as part of an otherwise drab 21st century record there (W4, D2, L1).
No black cat has crossed their path lately when travelling though, with two away defeats on the bounce (and just one goal scored) since hitting the 40-point mark. In fact, it has been a tale of ‘all or nothing’ for Wolves on the road since the start of December (W4, L3), and openers have often been crucial, with Wolves seeing exactly half of their PL away games played so far produce under 1.5 total goals.
Players to watch: Anthony Gordon rounded off the scoring against Leeds in Everton’s most recent PL win. In opposition, Leander Dendoncker scored last during Wolves’ most recent away win and in their victory at Goodison Park three years ago.
Hot stat: Eight of Wolves’ nine PL away games to see a level half-time score have ended up won or lost (W5, L3).
