Wolves will host Everton at Molineux on Saturday, and they will be eager to pick up their first win of the 2025/26 Premier League season.

Wolves have lost their first two Premier League matches of the 2025/26 season, and the home fans will demand a strong reaction from the players vs Everton on Saturday. It will be interesting to see if they can bounce back strongly and get the job done at home this weekend.

Meanwhile, the visitors bounce back from the defeat against Leeds with two wins in the last two matches in all competitions. They will be desperate to continue their winning run and grind out a positive result here.
They have struggled against Wolves in recent meetings, and that remains to be seen whether they can make amends.

Wolves are going through a poor run of form, and this is a golden opportunity for Everton to grind out a victory away from home.

Player to Watch

Jack Grealish
