Premier League Preview - Wolves v Everton

It’s been a mixed few weeks for Wolves, who ended February with two wins and two defeats in the Premier League, along with contrasting fortunes in the FA Cup. 

Narrow 2-1 losses in the Premier League against Liverpool and Fulham have kept them looking nervously over their shoulders.

However, with a more favourable run of fixtures on the horizon, and having seen their FA Cup campaign brought to an end by Bournemouth last weekend, Wolves can now turn their full attention to securing Premier League survival. Sitting five points clear of the drop zone, they will be eager to add more points to their tally and avoid being dragged back into danger.

Everton, on the other hand, have found a new lease of life under returning manager David Moyes. The former Toffees boss, who was reappointed in January following Sean Dyche’s departure, has overseen an impressive turnaround, helping them move ahead of Wolves and edge closer to mid-table security.

Moyes has steadied the ship with a seven-game unbeaten run in the league, including notable victories over Tottenham, Brighton, Leicester, and Crystal Palace. Draws against Liverpool and Manchester United have further underlined their resilience, and with relegation concerns easing, Everton fans will now be hoping for a strong finish to the campaign. Extending their unbeaten run would represent another step in the right direction.

Team news

Wolves will have to do without leading scorer Matheus Cunha, who begins a three-game suspension following his red card for violent conduct in that recent FA Cup defeat. The Brazilian has also been charged with misconduct by the FA for his reaction to the dismissal, meaning his absence could extend further depending on the outcome of the hearing.

On a brighter note for Wolves, Rodrigo Gomes, Emmanuel Agbadou, and Goncalo Guedes are all available after recovering from injury.

For Everton, Abdoulaye Doucoure returns to the squad after missing the draw at Brentford to attend the birth of his son. However, Moyes remains without six first-team players through injury, with on-loan Chelsea striker Armando Broja unlikely to return until after the upcoming international break.

England 1 - 3 Senegal We try to pull together some measured reaction and reporting after England lose in Nottingham. It's only a post season friendly that nobody will remember in three months.  Author | Kieran M Stadium | The City Ground England fell to their first defeat under Thomas Tuchel as Senegal claimed a thoroughly deserved win in a low-key friendly at the City Ground. It wasn't a good performance from Tuchel’s team, who were outplayed by confident and composed opponents. Senegal became the first African nation to beat England’s men, and did so with an assured display.  For Tuchel though, it did give him an opportunity to see a different group of players together. He would have learned a lot from this. A closer look at what happened The evening had started brightly for the hosts, who took the lead in the seventh minute when Harry Kane reacted quickest after Edouard Mendy spilled Anthony Gordon’s low effort. It was Kane’s 73rd goal for England. This would be the...

Czech Republic 1 - 3 England Harvey Elliott set England Under-21s on course for a winning start as the reigning champions opened their European Championship defence with a composed victory over the Czech Republic in Slovakia. Author | George B Stadium | MOL Aréna Despite a string of withdrawals in the lead-up to the tournament, head coach Lee Carsley named an adventurous line-up for the Young Lions’ opener. England broke the deadlock six minutes before half-time. Tino Livramento, a lively presence down the left, saw his cross deflected into the box where captain James McAtee laid it off for Elliott, who finished with a crisp low drive. Livramento was central again for the second, gliding past his marker before delivering a low ball that brushed Jonathan Rowe en route to beating goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek. The Czechs responded swiftly through Daniel Fila, who nodded in Vaclav Sejk’s chipped cross just moments later. But England reasserted control and sealed the result 14 minutes from...
