Wolves v Everton Predicted Starting Lineups for Premier League Match Amid Ndiaye Update

Wolves and Everton will go head-to-head in the Premier League at Molineux on Saturday night, with both teams looking to pull away from the relegation zone and climb the table.

Vitor Pereira’s side have struggled for form in recent weeks with just one win in their last four games in all competitions, including crashing out of the FA Cup against Bournemouth on penalties last time out. David Moyes’ side on the other hand are in great form with just one defeat in their last six in all competitions including draws against Liverpool, Man Utd and Brentford most recently.

Both teams are also without key players for this game which will give the managers some decisions to make, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expect the sides to line up.

Wolves Team News

Cunha suspended

Wolves are looking to move away from a relegation battle as the season progresses, but they will be without star forward Matheus Cunha for the next three games after his red card in the FA Cup last weekend.

Goncalo Guedes, Hwang Hee-Chan and Rodrigo Gomes are all pushing to return following recent injuries, but January signing Emmanuel Agbadou is still out with a hamstring injury.

Pereira Drops Team News Update

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Pereira shared an update on his squad ahead of the game.

Wolves Predicted XI

Strand Larsen to start

• Wolves Predicted XI: Sa; Toti, Bueno, Doherty; Semedo, Andre, Joao Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Guedes, Strand Larsen.
• Wolves Predicted Substitutes: Johnstone (GK), Djiga (DEF), Lima (DEF), Traore (MID), Pond (MID), Doyle (MID), Bellegarde (MID), Munetsi (MID), Hee-Chan (FWD).

With no Cunha available, Pereira must find a new source of goals for his side and that means Jacob Strand Larsen should come into the starting lineup alongside a returning Guedes.

£175,000-p/w trio Hee-Chan, Munetsi and Traore are likely to find themselves on the bench.
