Everton to Claim Boxing Day Win in Relegation Battle with Wolverhampton Wanderers
15241

We have several fixtures to look forward to in the English Premier League on Boxing Day including the meeting between Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The match will be played at Goodison Park and the hosts begin this round of games in 17th place on 14 points while the visitors are bottom of the table on 10 points.

Everton come into the match having last played competitively on the 12th of November in the Premier League. The Toffees signed off for the World Cup with a hugely disappointing 3-0 defeat at AFC Bournemouth.

Everton fell behind in the 18th minute and conceded a second goal just 7 minutes later. AFC Bournemouth added to their tally in the second half to win the match comfortably.

That result means Everton have lost their 3 most recent competitive fixtures. They suffered a 4-1 loss at AFC Bournemouth in the League Cup and went down 2-0 at home to Leicester City in the Premier League.

In terms of the Premier League, Everton have claimed only 1 victory from their last 7 games. There have been defeats at home against Manchester United and Leicester City plus away to Tottenham Hotspur and AFC Bournemouth.

However, trends show Everton are undefeated in 4 of their last 6 home league matches and have won 2 of their last 4 games on home soil in the Premier League.

Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to Goodison Park having beat Gillingham 2-0 at home in the fourth round of the League Cup on Tuesday night. It was far from a comfortable night for Wolves against the team bottom of League Two.

Wolverhampton Wanderers needed 2 goals in the final 13 minutes of the match to get the win and progress to the quarter final.

That result means Wolverhampton Wanderers have won 2 of their last 7 fixtures in all competitions. Both wins have come in the League Cup, with the third round victory coming at home against fellow Premier League club, Leeds United.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been poor in the Premier League and trends show they have won only 2 of their last 20 games. They have failed to win any of their last 5 league matches, losing 4 of those games. Wolverhampton Wanderers have failed to win any of their 11 most recent away Premier League matches.

Team news and Everton are expected to be without the injured quartet of James Garner, Yerry Mina, Mason Holgate, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. There are also doubts over the fitness of Ben Godfrey.

Wolverhampton Wanderers make the trip to Goodison without Boubacar Traoré, Jonny, and Pedro Neto, who are on the treatment table.

Neither team are in good form but Wolverhampton Wanderers find themselves in a more desperate situation than Everton. This game is a good opportunity for Everton to pull away from Wolves at the bottom of the table and The Toffees could win this match, keeping a clean sheet in the process.
