Everton make the trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League this afternoon (15.00 BST) - and can keep their survial hopes in their own hands.
The Toffees sit just one point and one place above the relegation zone as they prepare for their penultimate game of the season. But a win for Sean Dyche’s side will not only move them four points ahead of Leeds United but ensure they head into the final day knowing they hold their own destiny.
Everton have had troubles on the road this season but dispatched high-flying Brighton 5-1 in their last away game. And while the Blues may have suffered a 3-0 loss at the hands of champions-elect Manchester City last weekend, there were plenty of positives to take.
Wolves are 13th in the table but will want to end the campaign strongly heading into next term. They’ve made marked improvements since Julen Lopetegui’s arrival as manager last November and have kept 10 clean sheet at Molineux.
For the trip to Wolves, Everton will be without Seamus Coleman (knee), Vitalii Mykolenko (groin), Ben Godfrey (groin), Tom Davies (hamstring), Andros Townsend (ACL) and Ruben Vinagre. Dominic Calvert-Lewin also was forced off at half-time against City but was due to train yesterday.
With all that in mind, there’s the Everton team we predict to face Wolves.
1. GK - Jordan Pickford
One final big performance is needed from many fan’s Player of the Season.
2. CM - Alex Iwobi
May be forced to act asa makeshift right wing-back given the injury problems. Will still look to get up and down.
3. CB - Yerry Mina
Confirmed he will depart Everton this summer - and will want to sign off with avoiding relegation.
4. CB - Conor Coady
Not made a start for three months. However, a switch to a three-man defence with the injuries may see Coady restored. Dyche felt the Wolves loanee had an affect on the game when he came on in the loss to Man City earlier this month.
