Everton v Wolves: match preview

Everton v Wolves
Everton v Wolves: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Photograph: Guardian

Frank Lampard warned there would be no quick fix when he was appointed Everton manager but the club’s dire form means time is not on his side. One win in five league games – with that against a Leeds side stuck in an even bigger rut – means Everton could drop into the relegation zone. A response to the shambolic 5-0 defeat at Tottenham on Monday is required and the news Demarai Gray and Ben Godfrey could both return is timely. However, Wolves arrive in upbeat mood after a 4-0 thumping of Watford that brought a run of three defeats to an emphatic end. Stephen Hollis
