Wolverhampton Wanderers will welcome Everton to Molineux in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Vitor Pereira’s hosts have come away empty-handed from each of their opening two Premier League games of the season, losing 4-0 to Man City and then 1-0 to Bournemouth.
However, the Old Gold did taste victory in midweek, staging a dramatic late comeback to earn a 3-2 win against West Ham in the EFL Cup.
Wolves boss Pereira will be hoping that win can act as a springboard for further success when they entertain Everton this weekend.
The Toffees picked up their first league win of the season at the second attempt last Sunday by defeating Brighton 2-0 at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium home.
David Moyes’ men have since defeated Mansfield by the same scoreline in the EFL Cup, in a game that saw me deliver a clean sweep of winners.
How the bookies view it: Wolves set for win
The bookmakers’ odds suggest that Wolves will pick up their first league win of the season on Saturday, with a home success on offer at 6/4 with Boylesports.
Everton are as big as 15/8 on Boylesports to emerge from Molineux victorious while an all square affair is trading at 2/1 with the same firm.
Head to head: Wolves' record up to scratch
Wolves have avoided defeat in seven of their last eight Premier League meetings with Everton. However, it is worth noting that they failed to defeat the Toffees last term, losing at 4-0 at Goodison Park before playing out a 1-1 draw at Molineux.
Players to watch: Ndiaye to deliver?
Iliman Ndiaye made history by scoring the first-ever goal at Everton’s new stadium last Sunday. The Toffees forward looks well worthy of support to register a minimum of one shot on target this weekend at 8/11 on Boylesports.
Matt Doherty has committed three fouls in each of Wolves' opening two Premier League games of the season. Likely to be up against Everton’s Jack Grealish this weekend, Doherty looks overpriced to make two or more misdemeanours at Molineux at 17/10 on PaddyPower.
Predicted line-ups
Toti Gomes will be available for Wolves after serving a suspension in midweek while it remains to be seen if striker Jorgen Strand Larsen is selected as he is attracting interest from Newcastle.
Vitaliy Mykolenko returned from injury against Mansfield in midweek, however Everton boss Moyes could opt to stick with the same starting XI that defeated Brighton.
Wolves: Jose Sa; Doherty, Agbadou, Toti; Tchatchoua, Joao Gomes, Andre, Wolfe; Munesti, Strand Larsen, Arias
Everton: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Garner; Iroegbunam, Gueye; Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Barry
Anything else catch the eye?
Everton have been on an upward curve since David Moyes returned to the club, making the visitors an attractive option to avoid defeat on Saturday.
With the Blues too short to side with as a single selection on the double chance, bundle that up with both teams to receive a card at 4/5 on Bet 365.
This Bet Builder would have been a winning one in each of Wolves’ opening two matches of the season, as well as Everton’s victory over Brighton last Sunday.
