Predicted Wolves line-up to face Everton in the Premier League
Wolves will be aiming to keep their good form going when they face Everton away at Goodison Park this Saturday. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men were by far the better team when they thrashed West Ham United 3-0 on Tuesday night.
That result helped them to seventh-place in the table, with a great chance of finishing in the Europa League qualification places.
The Old Gold are now up against an Everton side who were in a bad patch until they got a vital win away at Huddersfield in the midweek fixture.
Marco Silva’s men are currently eighth in the table, just two points behind their opponents of this weekend. Hence, expect a close contest between both teams vying for a top-eight finish.

Joao Moutinho (CAM)
Nuno has freed the experienced Moutinho in a slightly free role in the midfield, where he can take different positions and trouble the opposition.
Diogo Jota (SS)
The Portuguese has been in fine form in the past few games, especially when the manager has deployed him in a central role just behind the main striker. Everton defenders would be vary of him come Saturday.
