Venue: Goodison Park
Kick off: 4PM
Wolves will provide Everton with a good test when the two sides go head to head at Goodison Park this afternoon, according to Toffees manager Marco Silva.
Everton’s form over the winter can best be described as patchy, but a 1-0 win at Huddersfield in midweek moved them up to eighth place in the Premier League, two points behind their opponents this weekend.
“(Wolves) will be a good test for us as a team, not just offensively or defensively,” Silva said. “We have to be stronger as a team and stronger than them in all the moments of the match.
“We know they are strong in the counter-attack with a solid block and fast players. Every moment you have the ball and are trying to create you have to take care of that and have good balance.”
Wolves, meanwhile, will be hoping to at least preserve their two-point advantage over Everton.
“Nothing else matters,” said manager Nuno Espirito Santo. “They are very strong. They have a strong squad, very talented players, a very good manager, a very tough stadium to go to; the atmosphere at Goodison Park is really tough for the opposing team and we expect a very difficult game.”
