Wolverhampton Wanderers will play hosts to Everton at the Molineux Stadium on Sunday afternoon looking to pick up maximum points at home. The West Midlands outfit suffered a bitter 1-0 defeat away at Sheffield United in midweek which has put a dent in their hopes of securing European football next season.
Nuno Espirito Santo will stick with his preferred 3-4-3 formation and might keep changes to a minimum for this weekend’s league encounter versus the Toffees.
3-4-3 Wolves Predicted Lineup To Face Everton
Defence
Rui Patricio will retain his place in between the sticks for Wolves despite shipping in a late goal versus the Blades in midweek. The home team will once again set up with a back three of Willy Boly, Conor Coady and Roman Saiss as they work together to neutralise the threat of Everton’s Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin during the game.
Max Kilman will be available for selection on the bench as he awaits his opportunity to feature as a second-half substitute if Nuno Santo decides to call upon his services.
Midfield
Ruben Neves will resume his midfield partnership with his countryman Joao Moutinho as they look to produce a dominant performance at the centre of the park. The dynamic duo will be responsible for putting in a tireless shift defensively and also creating some decent goal-scoring chances going forward.
Jonny Otto will look to impress as the left wing-back while Matt Doherty features on the right side of the Wolves midfield. Nuno Santo will instruct both of them to get to the byline at every chance they can get so that they can whip in some inviting crosses into the Everton penalty box.
Attack
The Wolves frontline will be comprised of Diogo Jota and Adama Traore as they try to stretch the pitch out on the wings while Raul Jimenez leads the charge down the middle. All three attackers failed to score versus the Blades in midweek, so they will be desperate to find the back of the net when the Toffees visit the Molineux this weekend.
Pedro Neto is a slight doubt but is expected to get ready in time to secure a place on the bench.
