The Rafael Benitez reign has lost a good chunk of momentum in recent weeks, with Wolverhampton Wanderers inflicting a third consecutive defeat on the Toffees during Monday night's encounter at Molineux.

Max Kilman and Raul Jimenez's quickfire strikes saw Wolves race into a two-goal lead before the break, and while Alex Iwobi halved the deficit with 25 minutes to go, Wolves withstood the Merseyside pressure to condemn Everton to another dampening loss.

Everton continue to cope without mainstays Abdoulaye Doucoure and Dominic Calvert-Lewin for the time being, while Lucas Digne's muscle injury will need to be assessed ahead of the contest.

Andre Gomes is also a doubt, and Benitez is still unsure when Yerry Mina will be fit to return from his thigh injury, so Mason Holgate should continue to partner Michael Keane at the back.

拉法贝尼特斯的统治在最近几周失去了很大的势头，在周一晚上与莫利纳的比赛中狼队连续第三次输给太妃糖队。

马克斯·基尔曼和劳尔·希门尼斯的快速进球让狼队在中场休息前领先两球，当亚历克斯·伊沃比在比赛还剩25分钟时将比分追平一半，狼队顶住了默西塞德郡的压力，让埃弗顿队再次败北。

埃弗顿将继续在缺少主力队员杜库雷和卡尔弗特-卢因的情况下应付比赛，而卢卡斯-迪格内的肌肉伤势将需要在比赛前进行评估。

安德烈-戈麦斯也是个问题，贝尼特斯还不确定米娜何时能从大腿伤势中恢复，所以梅森-霍尔盖特应该继续和迈克尔-基恩搭档在后防线上。
