Here is our Wolves predicted lineup.<\/p>\n<h2>Wolves Predicted Lineup vs Everton As Wolves Target Vital Points At Hill Dickinson Stadium<\/h2>\n<h3>How Wolves Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n<p>Wolves&#8217; season has been defined by inconsistency and defensive struggles; however, last time out against West Ham, they secured their first win of the season and kept a clean sheet. Jos\u00e9 S\u00e1 started in goal, covered by a back three of Santiago Bueno, Yerson Mosquera, and Ladislav Krej\u010d\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2026\/01\/04\/mateus-mane-gives-wolves-hope-new-deal\/\" target=\"_self\">Wolves Tie Down Youngster Alan Shearer Praised As \u2018Absolutely Outstanding\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The midfield was made up of Jackson Tchatchoua, Jhon Arias, Jo\u00e3o Gomes, Matues Man\u00e9, and Hugo Bueno. The forward line consisted of Tolu Arokodare and Hwang Hee-chan.<\/p>\n<h3>Wolves Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Wolves&#8217; Premier League campaign so far has been brutal, with a notable lack of attacking output and fragility at the back.

The 1-1 draw at Old Trafford was characterised by organised defending and a clinical set-piece goal, while the <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ufhmVCi5aeY\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3-0 win over West Ham<\/a> showed that Wolves do have some attacking firepower after all.<\/p>\n<h3>Injuries To Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Both Gomes and Hee-chan went off injured during the West Ham game, but Edwards said they would both be available against Everton during the <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.molineux.news\/match\/rob-edwards-gives-joao-gomes-and-hwang-hee-chan-injury-update-ahead-of-everton-vs-wolves\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pre-match press conference<\/a>.
