Did you know?

Everton won home and away against Wolverhampton Wanderers last season and are looking to secure three consecutive league victories against them for the first time in the Premier League.

Hwang Hee-chan has scored four goals in six Premier League matches this season for Wolves. A goal here would make him the first player to score five PL goals within seven matches since Ollie Watkins last November, and the fastest Wolves player to score five, twice as quick as anyone else. Carl Cort and Kevin Doyle both took 14 matches.

Demarai Gray has been directly involved in five goals (three goals, two assists) in nine Premier League matches for Everton this season, all starts. It is the first time he has ever started nine consecutive PL matches, and he also netted in his last appearance against Wolves back in January 2019 for Leicester City in a 4-3 loss.

Only Crystal Palace (one) scored fewer first-half Premier League goals in the first nine Matchweeks than Wolves (two). Indeed since returning to the top flight in 2018/19, Wolves have scored fewer goals in the first half than any other ever-present side (49 in 123 matches).
