Everton must drag Wolves into a fight they don't fancy - and they need Dominic Calvert-Lewin

None of the players, or indeed Sean Dyche himself, will be able to predict what the Premier League has in store over the next two weeks. It means Everton can only target maximum points over their next two games; firstly at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday and then against Bournemouth at Goodison Park eight days later.

The game against Leicester City earlier this month was one we probably should have won if we had put our chances away. I just hope our confidence hasn't been knocked after Sunday's defeat to Manchester City - I think the lads held their own and they probably couldn't have played much better, to be honest.

The confidence of going away and putting the ball in the back of the net as we did against Brighton last week will hopefully carry over to Wolves. Look, it's going to be a difficult game. They don't have too much to play besides a bit of pride and therefore might have some freedom to play a bit more football, but what Everton will want to do is try and quieten the Wolves fans and force errors early on.
