Wolvesvs.Everton

The Toffees have been a team reborn since David Moyes returned for another stint at the helm and are now 15 points clear of the relegation zone after coming from behind to draw 1-1 with Brentford last week.

While Everton may only be one place above their hosts in the Premier League table, they are 10 points better off, and the Old Gold come into the showdown on the back of a gut-wrenching FA Cup fifth-round loss to Bournemouth on penalties.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 143

Wolves wins: 51

Draws: 28

Everton wins: 64

One of the oldest head-to-heads in English football, the first-ever meeting between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton was fought all the way back in 1889, a Division One encounter that the West Midlands outfit convincingly won 5-0.

However, Everton have since overtaken the Old Gold in the wins column, prevailing in 64 of their 143 meetings to date while suffering 51 losses, and the two sides have also shared the spoils on 28 occasions.

Victories have been harder to come by for Everton in more recent seasons, though, as they went six without a win against Wolves from November 2021 to December 2023, losing five of those contests and drawing the other at Molineux.

The Toffees snapped that miserable sequence in ruthless fashion in December 2024, though, storming to a 4-0 win at Goodison Park thanks partly to two Craig Dawson own goals, which made the centre-back just the fifth Premier League player to score multiple own goals in a game.

Outside of top-flight action, Everton and Wolves contested a controversial FA Cup final in the 1892-93 season, which was won 1-0 by the Old Gold on a day where overcrowding saw spectators spill out onto the field.

The Toffees unsuccessfully requested a replay after the sheer number of fans hampered both sides' rhythm, and the Merseyside outfit were also on the wrong end of the most emphatic scoreline in this fixture, a 7-0 obliteration in a 1939 First Division game.

With 10 strikes in matches against Wolves, former Everton forward Joe Royle is the highest documented scorer in this particular matchup, while Raul Jimenez struck five versus the Toffees during his time in the Old Gold.
