Sky Sports expert predicts result of ‘Humongous’ Everton v Wolves Premier League clash
Sky Sports expert Lewis Jones has predicted Everton to draw 1-1 with Wolves in their “humongous” clash on Saturday (20 May).
The Toffees travel to Molineux in desperate need of points, with Sean Dyche’s men sitting just one point above the dop zone.
The hosts meanwhile occupy 13th place in the Premier League table, eight points ahead of the Toffees.
The fixture is Everton’s last away match of the season, with the Toffees then hosting Bournemouth at Goodison Park on 28 May.
“Humongous game alert,” Jones wrote for Sky Sports. “Draw it is, which isn’t a bad result for Dyche’s side with Bournemouth at home to come.”
Huge clash
It really is a mammoth clash for Everton, who could take a monster step towards Premier League safety by picking up all three points at Molineux.
A draw also wouldn’t be the worst result, with fellow strugglers Leeds United having a tough meeting with West Ham and Leicester City coming up against Newcastle.
Dyche will not want to be relying on favours from other teams by any stretch of the imagination, but of course it wouldn’t hurt his club’s chances of staying in the division if their nearest rivals continue to struggle.
But the Toffees won’t have it easy against Wolves, with Julen Lopetegui keen to see out his club’s final home game of the season with all three points, in order to give the fans something to celebrate after a turbulent campaign.
It will definitely be a tense atmosphere for the Toffees players, who know that one slip-up could really dent their chances of remaining a top flight club.
