Last week, a struggling side near the bottom of the table faced Wolves at home … and came through to win 4-0. How Everton needed that victory, particularly when you consider the Toffees’ next three games are against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, with the re-arranged Merseyside derby also surely in the not-too-distant future.
A good win for Everton, but a bad defeat for Wolves, who remain 19th. Their festive run is not nearly so difficult as Everton, although the upcoming games against West Ham, Leicester and Ipswich before Christmas are arguably more important in deciding whether Wolves will avoid relegation come the end of the season.
