Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Everton today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Wolverhampton Wanderers FC 2 - 3 Everton FC
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
17:16The full-time whistle sounds as Everton hang on to the three points after beating Wolves 3-2 at a damp Molineux. The Toffees stuck it on their hosts today, scoring seven minutes in. Wolves just couldn't escape their own third after an early corner, and Ndiaye worked inside from the left to find Mykolenko. He crossed well for Grealish and he headed back across, allowing Beto to simply nod home. Parity was restored in the 21st minute after Munetsi was found on the right. His cross was low and tempting, and picked Hwang out to power past Pickford. Everton hit the front again just before the interval, as in the 33rd minute, Grealish fed Dewsbury-Hall in towards the left byline. He squared and Beto dummied, allowing Ndiaye to tap into an unguarded net. Although the Senegalese's early second-half poke was ruled out for offside, the visitors carried on unaffected just 10 minutes later, stretching their lead to two. Grealish drove at the defence before poking Dewsbury-Hall into the left channel, and the ex-Chelsea man didn't even look up as he smashed the ball into the top-left corner via the underside of Sa's crossbar. Wolves did put their visitors' backs up with a late flurry of intent, as Rodrigo Gomes slammed home a fine Moller Wolfe cross. However, this wasn't enough, as the Toffees scampered back to Merseyside with the win. Both sides overperformed their 1.16 and 1.93 xGs, respectively, this afternoon. Now they can regroup with the first international break of the season. Thanks for joining us. Goodbye!

16:51Grealish makes way now after another great early outing in an Everton shirt. On comes Carlos Alcaraz for the final few minutes.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:48Earlier substitute Lopez gets the Wolves fans onside and then instantly has them lamenting, as he skips away from Grealish and then fouls Dewsbury-Hall following a baggy pass on halfway.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:44Rodrigo Gomes continues to play an offensive part for Wolves, as he pressures Mykolenko. The Ukrainian goes down a little too easily and falls on the ball. The home fans want a handball, but the referee gives an Everton free-kick to their dismay.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:45Lopez has a shot blocked on the right and Everton can eventually counter. Dewsbury-Hall is then fouled on the left in a decent crossing position.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:44That is a superb, almost instinctive cross from Moller Wolfe. It was perfect for Rodrigo Gomes to steam onto for his first goal of the season.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:43GOOOAAALLLL! WOLVES NAB ONE BACK FOR 3-2! Rodrigo Gomes is the man to get it, as he races into the area to smash home a fine, low Moller Wolfe ball from the left! Substitutes combine!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:44Lopez skips in from the right and wrestles off Iroegbunam in the process. Bellegarde puts a great ball into the box for Kalajdzic to chest down, but the final piece is missing. In the next phase, a right-sided cross is flicked behind by Keane, and the decibels rise inside Molineux.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton

16:39Wolves are forced to withdraw the injured Bueno. On comes new signing from AZ Alkmaar, David Moller Wolfe.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:39Hugo Bueno fouls Ndiaye on the right with a tackle more akin to rugby. However, he's the one who stays down, now requiring treatment for what looks like his right calf.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:36Lopez tries to find a way through on the right of the Everton box. However, he brings down Grealish, and it's a foul the other way.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:34There were some penalty shouts back there in that Wolves move. Hugo Bueno took the ball down on the left of the box from a Lopez pass, and jinked back inside Ndiaye before falling. You can file it under 'seen them given', but Oliver wasn't interested this time.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:32Ndiaye and Gueye link up nicely on the right, just inside the Wolves half. The midfielder powers in a cross, but it's miles ahead of Beto. The hosts now look to eat into the deficit.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:29Everton are just negotiating the stray legs in midfield. To their credit, the hosts are setting a hard shape to get past. Better late than never, I suppose.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:24A sweeping Everton move forward goes right before being worked back inside for Gueye to shoot from the edge of the area... It's blocked well, but that could've easily been the fourth there. Wolves need to switch on.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:21Dewsbury-Hall has scored his first goal in the Premier League this season, netting for the first time since December 30, 2022, against Liverpool.

16:23Munetsi slots Hwang into the right-central channel, yet Dewsbury-Hall does well to intercept the Korean's ball back inside.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:23Everton have scored two goals in the first 15 minutes of the second half. Only Chelsea (with three) have scored more in that time in the Premier League this season.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:16This has been an inspired start to the season by Grealish. He now his fourth assist of the campaign. Can we firmly say the real Jack Grealish is back?
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:15GOOOAAALLLL! 3-1 EVERTON! GREAT STRIKE DEWSBURY-HALL! Grealish drives at the Wolves back line and pokes through the former Chelsea man in the left channel. He doesn't even look up as he smashes the ball past Sa, and into the top-left corner via the underside of the bar! Pick that one out.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:15Wolves piece together a great move out on the left again, as Gomes feeds Hugo Bueno via Arias. The wing-back crosses low, and Garner blocks. There are handball shouts against the sliding midfielder, yet nothing is given.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:15Hugo Bueno makes good progress down the left wing, yet is stopped by a fine Garner challenge. That could've been a great run. Top intervention.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:15The hosts are enjoying some formative possession in this second period. They do try and go long, but it's quickly won back before Keane has to hoof away from Hwang. Gomes then passes the ball at the referee, and there's a brief halt in the action.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:10Wolves come out swinging after that early second-half scare. The home side flood forward, yet Gomes' long-range effort is dragged past the left post. Speculative.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:07No goal! Ndiaye's effort is disallowed for offside after he latched onto a deflected Gueye effort and poked past Sa. There was a big shout for handball, yet that's been waved away with no VAR intervention necessary.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:05Half-time arrives at a damp Molineux as Wolves trail Everton 2-1. The Toffees really stuck it on their hosts with an early goal, scoring seven minutes in. Wolves just couldn't escape their own third after an early corner, and the men in blue kept pushing. Ndiaye worked in-field from the left and found Mykolenko in the centre. He lifted the ball forward, finding Grealish to nod back across for Beto to head in from close range. Following this, and a gradual re-injection of home confidence, Hwang restored parity in the 21st minute. Munetsi was found on the right as Tchatchoua helped on a Santiago Bueno pass. His cross was low and tantalising, and picked Hwang out to power high past Pickford. Wolves were clearly elevated by this strike, with the home fans brimming with excitement for every tackle and bit of pressure. However, they were silenced again in the 33rd minute, as Ndiaye pulled his side back in front. Grealish was involved again, this time sliding Dewsbury-Hall in towards the left byline. He squared and Beto dummied, allowing the Senegal international to power into an empty net.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:07We're back in action for the second half, as Wolves restart.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
16:01Everton just about seem to be winning the midfield battle today, as Garner has emerged with the most touches out of the Toffees' XI. One of his positional foes, Arias, has attempted the most tackles so far with four. If Wolves can find more control in those tetchy areas, while treading the disciplinary line, then they should be able to cause Everton trouble. The hosts have overperformed their 0.61 xG, perhaps hinting at a lack of clear-cut opportunities so far. Everton have shown more threat in front of goal, and have outdone their 1.54 xG to move into the lead effectively. Grealish has been fun to watch so far, and has had a hand in both of the visitors' goals. Wolves could do with snuffing him out, although it'll prove a difficult task as the Manchester City loanee looks to have regained the creative spark that made him infamous at Aston Villa.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:55That fine low ball across the box gives Munetsi his first assist of the Premier League season. Incidentally, that was Wolves' first league goal of the campaign.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:55GOOOAAALLLL! 1-1! HWANG LEVELS THINGS UP FOR THE HOSTS! Munetsi is found on the right as Tchatchoua helps on a Santiago Bueno pass. The cross is low and tantalising, and Hwang is there to power the ball high into the goal past a sprawling Pickford!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:53HALF-TIME: WOLVES 1-2 EVERTON
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:52Up goes the board for added time. There will be three more minutes of play.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:47Wolves have had a considerable amount of the ball just before the whistle here. Everton are happy to wear down the clock and take this lead to the break.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:43Arias wins a free-kick in the centre, but the away side nod the resulting ball clear. Ndiaye tries to drive away on the counter, yet the gold shirts are back to cover.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:41Dewsbury-Hall's free-kick from the left is too long, and Wolves restart with Sa. So far, Everton have had 16 touches of the ball inside the home box, while their opponents have had just six in theirs.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:40Wolves attempt to back up their EFL Cup victory against West Ham United by earning a first Premier League success of the campaign today. However, this will be easier said than done as they host an Everton side looking for a third straight victory in all competitions. David Moyes’ men recorded 2-0 wins over both Brighton and Mansfield Town, and they now face a Wolves side no doubt buoyed on from their first win of the campaign in midweek. Wolves currently sit second from bottom in the formative table, while Everton find themselves in eighth. David Moyes will probably be looking forward to this clash. He has won eight of his last 13 Premier League matches against Wolves and is unbeaten in his last seven against the Old Gold as Everton boss since losing 2-1 in May 2004 during his first spell.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:40Jorgen Strand Larsen, who has been the subject of two bids from Newcastle United, sits this one out today. Wolves boss Vitor Pereira said on Friday the Norway striker was being treated for a minor knock. Aside from that bit of news, there are several tweaks to the side that beat West Ham in midweek. Jose Sa returns to the lineup after Sam Johnstone took over for the EFL Cup, while in defence, Toti Gomes comes back after suspension and replaces Yerson Mosquera. Further ahead, Jackson Tchatchoua gets his first Premier League start, and Joao Gomes is in for bench-bound Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. Fer Lopez is replaced up top, as Marshall Munetsi arrives to allow Hwang Hee-Chan to move in-field.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:41Wolves' frustration continues now as Gomes carves down Grealish as he skips in from the left. He has been so fun to watch so far.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:41Wolves need a response again here. It's not looking good as they aim to avoid losing their first three Premier League matches for a third time, previously doing so in 2003-04 and 2021-22.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:38Munetsi gives away a frustrated foul as he pushes Mykolenko over the byline as he presses. Wolves have to keep their discipline here.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:37Bueno's curled ball from the left-sided free-kick is too powerful. Goal-kick.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:36Beto brings down a long ball smartly but then nearly runs into Grealish. Mykolenko then takes up possession, before play is steadily switched to the right. O'Brien's cross from that byline is far too long, and Grealish is then forced back by Tchatchoua.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:36All the noise is coming from that Everton away section. Wolves need to make their time on the ball count here. As that's typed out, a long pass trickles through to Pickford.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:36Getting the early goal is typically a good sign for the blue half of Merseyside. Everton have avoided defeat in their last 15 matches when scoring first in the Premier League, since a 2-3 loss to Aston Villa on September 14, 2024.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:36With his latest involvement, Grealish now has three assists in his first three Everton Premier League appearances.

15:36Dewsbury-Hall has now got his first assist in the Premier League this season. Furthermore, he has now assisted three goals in six league appearances against Wolves.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:36GOOOAAALLLL! BETO MAKES IT 1-0 EVERTON! Wolves just can't get out after the early left-sided corner, and the Toffees keep pushing. Ndiaye works in-field from the left and finds Mykolenko in the centre. He lifts the ball forward, and Grealish nods it across from the left for Beto to head in from close range.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:35GOOOAAALLLL! IT'S 2-1 TO THE TOFFEES! EVERTON ARE BACK IN FRONT WITH NDIAYE! Just moments after Grealish is denied by Sa, the visitors keep their offensive surge alive. Grealish feeds Dewsbury-Hall down the left of the box, before he squares it. Beto leaves the ball and Ndiaye powers home into an empty net for his second goal of the league season!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:34Beto continues his battle with Bueno and wins a foul as he turns inside the Uruguayan before being brought down.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:34Just on the half-hour mark, the possession stats read 41% for Wolves and 59% for Everton. Although, it still feels relatively even.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:29A couple of challenges have flown in in the last couple of minutes. Oliver needs to manage this. Garner and Ndiaye battle away, while Bueno and Gomes show some industrial aggression of their own.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:30AGBADOU! It's hooked over by the big centre-back after Arias' corner is flicked on from the front post.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:30The first ball is cleared. Then, the eventual second ball in from Mykolenko is caught easily by Sa. Wolves quickly counter, and the pressured Ukrainian gives the hosts their first corner of the day.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:29Grealish is fed on the left and is blocked by Tchatchoua for a corner on the left. Garner will take.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:24After the early on-field niceties, we have the two captains come together with referee Oliver for the coin toss. It looks like the visitors will get us started today, kicking from left to right.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:25The atmosphere at Molineux is far better now, with the hosts being amped up to press Everton at any opportunity. Now would be a great time to get another. Strike while the iron is hot.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:25Beto is picked out in behind down the right channel. However, Bueno is back there to continue his duel and deny the forward a second goal with a fine intervening challenge.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:21After a botched right-sided Wolves cross glides into the gloves of Pickford, Beto and Bueno jostle for possession with the latter hitting the deck. No foul.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:17Dewsbury-Hall is the first name in the book today, as he jostles Andre from behind, bringing him down on the left wing.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:15Wolves are trying to forge a quick response here, yet wing play on either side has culminated with the ball just being that bit too long.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:07Contrasting the boos around him for his previous time with Aston Villa, Grealish grows into the game and helps win a corner on the left.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:07Wolves burst forward after a brief spell keeping the ball at the back. Arias fuels the charge, skipping inside two back-tracking blue shirts before striking a low effort from range. Pickford gathers simply, but it's a great idea.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:03Everton come forward after Hwang is caught offside early. Garner whips in an early cross from the right, yet Sa claims well.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
15:02And we're off, as Garner plays the ball back to Pickford to fire long.

15:01Today's referee is Michael Oliver. He leads the players out to a fine reception in the Black Country, as Wolves remain hopeful of turning things around and Everton look to continue their early-season consistency.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
14:37The travelling Toffees make six alterations as they rotate back from the side that eased past Mansfield in midweek. The only survivors from that game are James Tarkowski, Michael Keane, Vitaliy Mykolenko, James Garner, and Jack Grealish. Beto starts up front for Everton in place of Thierno Barry, while Jake O’Brien, Iliman Ndiaye, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Idrissa Gueye all re-enter the fold.
