Everton will be looking for their first win on the road as they prepare to face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium on Saturday.
The Blues beat Brighton 2-0 in their last Premier League match at Hill Dickinson Stadium and repeated that scoreline in the second round EFL Cup game with Mansfield Town at the same venue.
Back-to-back wins erase some of the apprehension and concern that had taken place after the Toffees languished in a 1-0 defeat at the hands of newly-promoted Leeds United at Elland Road in their league opener.
Wolves vs Everton: Team News and Predicted XI
Everton Team News
Everton will have Vitalii Mykolenko available for this match after the Ukrainian left-back made his return from injury in the cup game against Mansfield Town. Mykolenko played 87 minutes of that game and looked impressive after a short spell on the sidelines.
This will allow James Garner to return to his natural position after the midfielder had to deputise at left-back following Mykolenko’s absence against Leeds and Brighton.
The Blues will, however, miss Jarrad Branthwaite, Adam Aznou and Nathan Patterson for the trip to Molineux.
Tyler Dibling, signed from Southampton earlier this week, is expected to make his first Premier League team sheet for Everton this weekend.
Everton predicted starting XI: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner; Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Beto

We will, finally, have a bench that can affect a game.
When we look back at the last few seasons and what we can now put on the park the transformation is fantastic
Well done to our new owners for putting a professional team in place.
Improvement will be slow but will hopefully be consistent.
Finally we can argue about who are starting 11 is!!!

Anyone else planning on parking at Goodison tomorrow morning to catch the coach to Wolves, forget about it. Email just received, as theres a clash with ladies friendly against Juventus theres no room. I guess someone at the club has just realised. These pesky fixtures just seem to take the back office by surprise.

That team is probably bang on as long as Myko came through unscathed on Wednesday. The question is who drops out when Dibling gets his start? Has to be Garner or Dewsbury-Hall.

Definitely a good shot at 3 points though Molineux is no easy place to play and Wolves will be desperate for their first points.
First goal will be crucial as ever but if KDH, Grealish and Ndiaye are on form then we should be able to create some chances. Having Mykolenko back will be crucial and should allow Grealish to stay a little further up the pitch hopefully.

I see Jack Grealish has not been picked by Tuchel. I wouldn’t worry Jack, he won’t pick Branthwaite, when he’s fit, either.

I agree that is the likely starting 11. Moyes not known for going ” left field”. I just wonder though if he may be tempted to go without Beto or Barry and play Ndiaye centrally and reinforce the middle?
I doubt it but it has merit.

We are gradually running into a bit of form and I fancy Everton for a narrow win. Im pleased to see that Keane is getting games, he looks so much better not being paired with Holgate.

I would certainly be happier with Barry up top to hold the ball and occupy their centre backs for the first hour. Beto can finish when all the work has been done for him, but the ball just comes back at us without a centre forward to bring the other attacking players into the game.
There is also merit in the idea of a fluid front four with Ndiaye in the Richarlison number 9 role. Any defenders are going to wonder where to look with him, Alcaraz, Grealish and KDH in free roles. But I can’t see it happening.
Still hoping for a few arrivals before Monday night. Then we can really look forward to a more relaxed season.

John (9) yes its all a bit last minute isnt it? From what I understand its free parking for those attending the ladies game so no real need for this either commercially 🤣 or operationally. On top of the rigmarole many of us had getting into the Mansfield game, someone inside the club needs to get a grip on the back office operation.

Away wins are hard to come by and I don’t care who your playing.
We are mostly pretty satisfied with how things are playing out, but thats usually when something goes pear shaped.
Away from home I’ll take a draw now, if we win I’ll be thrilled.

I’m quietly confident especially if Laursen is missing, good to have Mykolenko back, probably play Garner beside Gueye, but Tim can feel unlucky if he’s on the bench.

DM MF is a shoe in Garner and Gana but the front 4 is where the real question is.
I thought Charlie linked up well against Mansfield and score a class goal but wolves will be far more physical so we need a battling number 9 (Hang on we haven’t got one) so its Barry, Beto or a false 9.
KDH, Grealish and Ndiaye are looking good so if we want to integrate Dibling one of those 3 will have to miss out or move further back at the expense of Ganer or Gana.
Its also a shame for Tim and Harrison Armstrong but at lease it gives us options.

I’d play Dibling, put Ndiaye in the middle with DH and Gana behind him. And stick with Barry. In such a system I suspect Ndiaye would score a lot more than last year.

I think Thierno is going to take time to be a goalscorer but in the meantime he is going to be a great leader of the line bringing in other players.
His job will be to tire out the defenders for the first 60-70 minutes and then let the fresh legs of Beto batter them (a la Anichebe in the European matches years ago). I also think that he may now have wingers who can cross the ball and once all on the same wavelength then he could be bagging a few.

The corrupt Oliver is the ref and the corrupt Pawson is the VAR.
So if we don’t see at least one awful decision given against us tomorrow we will have witnessed a minor miracle.
