Everton will lock horns with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Goodison Park on Wednesday night, hoping to pick up a win on their home turf. The Toffees will be heading into the contest on the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Sheffield United, whereas Nuno Espirito Santo’s men recorded a 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
Carlo Ancelotti will probably opt for the 5-3-2 formation; however, he might keep changes to a minimum for the upcoming clash.
5-3-2 Everton Predicted Lineup To Face Wolves
Defence
Jordan Pickford is expected to start in goal for the upcoming home encounter. The English shot-stopper would hope to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Wednesday.
Michael Keane and Ben Godfrey might form the customary centre-half partnership with Mason Holgate at the heart of Everton’s backline as they look to prevent Nuno’s men from finding the back of the net throughout the 90 minutes.
Full-backs Seamus Coleman and Lucas Digne will continue to operate down the right and left-hand side, respectively.
Midfield
Abdoulaye Doucoure and Allan will slot in as the holding midfielders; however, the former could be assigned with more of a central role as his ball distribution could turn out to be decisive if the Toffees wish to dominate things at the centre of the park.
James Rodriguez will slot into the attacking midfield role. He would be determined to engineer some clear-cut goal-scoring chances for the men up front.
Tom Davies will have to settle for a place on the bench but might be called on in the latter stages of the game if needed.
Attack
Richarlison should be fit to take up the left-striker spot on Wednesday night as he seems set to create menace for Wolves defenders in the wide areas.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will spearhead Everton’s attack up top. The Englishman will fancy his chances of finding the back of the net when he faces off against the Wolves defence that has conceded eight goals in their last four league matches.
