Wolves - Everton Preview: Unbeaten in seven, Moyes' boys looking for three points at Molineux
Terry Connor's side will take heart from their comeback at Swansea City, but the in-form Toffees are eyeing a seventh-placed finish and will be looking for another win

WOLVES
 De Vries Foley, Stearman, Bassong, Ward Kightly, Henry, Edwards, Jarvis Doyle, Fletcher |
EVERTON  Howard Hibbert, Jagielka, Heitinga, Distin Osman, Neville, Fellaini, Pienaar Cahill Jelavic |
Wolves are without first-choice goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey for the foreseeable future, meaning that Dorus de Vries will continue between the sticks, whilst young midfielder David Davis will miss the remainder of the campaign with an eye injury.
On-loan Tottenham defender Sebastian Bassong should return from hamstring trouble to resume in the starting XI, at the expense of Christophe Berra, and winger Matt Jarvis is expected to shake off a groin problem.
Everton boss David Moyes remains without Jack Rodwell and could also be missing Darron Gibson and Victor Anichebe, who picked up knocks against Fulham and Stoke City, respectively.
On the other hand, Leighton Baines, who has been missing through injury recently, could return to the bench, whilst Phil Neville, who missed the draw at Stoke, should also be fit.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
Wolves are winless since the sacking of Mick McCarthy in February, caretaker boss Terry Connor having overseen a record of zero wins in 11, with just three points taken from a possible 33.
- Molineux has seen 62 goals so far this season, the joint second-most in the Premier League (with Stamford Bridge and the Etihad Stadium). Only Old Trafford has seen more.
- Wolves have failed to score in four of the five home matches of which Terry Connor has taken charge - the 3-2 defeat by Bolton in March the only exception.
- Wanderers' last home win came on December 4 - the 2-1 victory over Sunderland, when 11-goal top-scorer Steven Fletcher scored twice.
- Everton are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League outings, notching 19 goals in the process.
- The Barclays Player of the Month for April, Nikica Jelavic (pictured right), has helped himself to 10 Premier League goals since his January move from Rangers - and only his second against Fulham last weekend was not a one-touch finish.
- Everton have drawn each of their last three away matches in the league, including the 4-4 draw against Manchester United.
- David Moyes' side average more fouls per game than any other Premier League side this season - 11.81.
- When the teams last met, in November at Goodison Park, Stephen Hunt opened the scoring for Wolves, only for Phil Jagielka and a Leighton Baines penalty to give the Toffees a 2-1 win. Everton are 13/2 with William Hill to come from behind to win this game.
- Last season's Molineux encounter ended in a 3-0 win for David Moyes' side, with Jermaine Beckford, Phil Neville and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov all scoring in the first half.

Injuries have wreaked havoc on the talented winger in recent seasons but this campaign the 26-year-old has been back to something approaching his best.
Driving runs, the ability to beat a man and an eye for goal are hallmarks of Kightly's game and provided he can stay injury free, he'll be a key player as Wolves look to launch a promotion assault in the Championship next season.

The South African playmaker has been re-invigorated by his return to Goodison Park, having been unable to make a starting spot his own during his year at Tottenham Hotspur.
The fleet-footed midfielder has added creative spark to the Toffees' attacking play in the second half of the campaign and he has been instrumental in their recent excellent run.
The fleet-footed midfielder has added creative spark to the Toffees' attacking play in the second half of the campaign and he has been instrumental in their recent excellent run.
Wolves have looked hopelessly out of their depth this season, a statement backed up by the fact they've won a meagre three home games all campaign, whilst David Moyes' side, as tends to be the norm throughout his ten years at Goodison Park, have once again finished the season strongly.
The Toffees' recent good form and desire to finish above rivals Liverpool, allied to their superior quality, should see them win this match with a certain degree of comfort.
