16’ – Iroegbunam gets into space and draws the foul. Freekick from the edge of the attacking third, chance here. McNeil delivers deep, partly cleared, Iroegbunam driven shot and neatly diverted in by Keane!!
Top corner from Everton’s finest finisher, and Everton lead 1-0!!
15’ – Armstrong looking very comfortable. Played a one-two with McNeil that was blocked off, and then spun his marker in the middle and drew the foul. Very composed on the ball.
10’ – Everton looking nervy here tonight.
Blues deal with a long throw and Grealish delivers for Iroegbunam to bomb down the left, but his delivery into the middle is poor.
8’ – Grealish lays off to Armstrong, chips a cross in, defender heads away and it comes to Iroegbunam, but his volley is wayward. First shot of any kind for the Blues.
6’ – Cushioned header back from Mykolenko to Pickford and Arokodare does come hustling in, could have been a problem.
4’ – Does look like a 4-2-3-1 still, with Armstrong in the #10 where he has been playing for Preston.
1’ – The Toffees get the game underway. Will be interesting to see where Armstrong plays and whether the Blues stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
Starting Lineups
Everton – Moyes keeps the backline intact, but Dibling goes to the bench and Armstrong at the #10.
Wolves – Same lineup as when they got their first win of the season
Match Preview
Everton play their second consecutive league game at home today, but will be looking for a vastly different result to the hiding they received at the hands of Brentford over the weekend. The Toffees will be welcoming the Premier League’s bottom side Wolverhampton Wanderers, who picked up their first win of the league campaign over the weekend.
David Moyes will not have any players back from the long injury list or AFCON, but should look to rejig his starting lineup given how some starters from Sunday made little to no impact on the pitch.
For Wolves, Rob Edwards is taking it one game at a time and we can expect the visitors to employ much of the same tactics that Tottenham, Newcastle and Brentford employed in their big wins at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium, starting with focus on getting setpieces into the six-yard box.

Last Meeting
The two sides have already played twice this season, both times at Molyneux. The Blues won the league game 3-2 with Beto, Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall getting the goals, but then a heavily-rotated side faltered 2-0 to the same opponent barely a month later in the League Cup.
