Everton take on Wolves in their next Premier League clash this weekend, and it is a must-win fixture.

Frank Lampard made no excuses for the embarrassing defeat at Spurs on Monday evening, and a response is needed.

The Toffees have been much better at Goodison Park this season, and hopes are that can push them towards three points.

Jordan Pickford will start in goal, with the England international one of the few players keeping us afloat at times.

The defence will see changes too, with Seamus Coleman, Jonjoe Kenny and Michael Keane all dropped after their shockers.

Mason Holgate will keep his spot, with Ben Godfrey coming back from injury to partner him centrally, with Lampard confirming the injury news today.

Vitalii Mykolenko and Nathan Patterson should start, with youth over experience the key with things surely not getting any worst.

The midfield won’t change much, with our big names available.

Allan and Donny Van de Beek have to improve, and they will be given the chance to do just that against Wolves.

Ahead of them in a box-to-box role will be Abdoulaye Doucoure, with the Frenchman continuing his race back to full fitness and 100%.

Anthony Gordon will also keep his spot, with the young winger easily our best player of the season – something that sums up the form of our experienced pros.

Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin picking up their best form is critical to our chances of survival.

Lampard will know that consistently rotating them will stop that from happening, and the duo will complete the XI this weekend.

Here’s how we expect the Toffees to line up…
