Prediction: 2-1
Everton
Molineux Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Wolverhampton and Everton. The Wolves aim to build on back-to-back wins over Chelsea and Brentford and they must be high on confidence ahead of the last game of the year. A man to watch in the home team will be Hee-Chan Hwang, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line, while midfielder Joe Hodge misses out due to the lack of fitness.
The Toffees, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Tottenham and Man City. As Everton are not regarded as good travellers, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. All Ashley Young, Idrissa Gueye, and Dele Alli are sidelined with injuries, while Abdoulaye Doucoure is a major doubt. In their last meeting in the English top flight Wolverhampton defeated Everton thanks to Sasa Kalajdzic’s late goal.
Highlighted Player (Abdoulaye Doucouré):
French international midfielder Abdoulaye Doucour is a bundle of raw energy and a player who was voted Watford’s Player of the Season during the 2017/18 campaign. A deep-lying midfielder who takes part in play build-up from behind is a defensive asset who took time to blossom and announce himself at the international stage. He first burst to prominence at Ligue 1 side Rennes in 2012 after a year with the club’s B side and went on to play 75 league matches and score 12 goals.
Watford bought Doucoure in 2016 but sent him on loan to Granada, where he took part in 15 league matches. Determined to prove his worth in the Premier League, the Frenchman of Mali descent wasted no time in grabbing a starting spot under both Marco Silva and Javi Garcia, respectively, upon his return from Spain.
The total of 38 matches played along with 8 goals scored made Doucoure one of the most sought-after assets in the summer of 2018 but the player remained at Vicarage Road despite reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
Highlighted Team (Wolves):
Wolverhampton are a club that was originally known as St. Luke’s FC. The Wolves play in the Championship and they were founded in 1877. Molineux is the home ground of Wolverhampton and the capacity of the stadium is 31,700. Wolverhampton have won four FA Cup trophies (1893, 1908, 1949, 1960), with the team lifting the League Cup trophy in 1974 and 1980.
The colour of the club’s shirts is orange and they wear black shorts. The Wolves wear blue jerseys when playing away from home. Wolverhampton’s main rivals are West Bromwich Albion and they have been facing each other in the Black Country derby since 1888. In their first meeting in the local derby WBA recorded a 1-0 win over Wolves.
Wolverhampton have won three First Division trophies (1953/1954, 1957/1958, 1958/1959) and they have clinched four FA Cup titles as well (1893, 1908, 1949, 1960). The club’s owner is Steve Morgan.
