Did you know?

Wolves have lost only one of their six Premier League home matches against Everton (W2 D3), back in April 2011 under Mick McCarthy.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side have had more shots following a fast break than any other PL side this season, with 13, while they have also attempted the most dribbles or take-ons, with 376.

Following victories at Leicester City and Sheffield United last month, Everton are looking to win three consecutive PL away matches without conceding for the first time since December 2008.

Richarlison has scored four PL goals in four appearances against Wolves, the third-highest total against them after Peter Odemwingie's five and Robbie Keane's six.
