Season › 2011-12 › News Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Lyndon Lloyd , 19 November, 1comment | Jump to most recent Match Preview The domestic programme resumes once again this weekend and Everton welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Goodison Park with the players having returned from the international break more or less unscathed. Long-term injury casualty, Victor Anichebe, is the only player definitely ruled out as David Moyes looks to pick up the pieces from the defeat at Newcastle, a result that represented the Blues' fifth defeat in six Premier League games and left them hovering one place above the bottom three. Whether this still qualifies as another of Everton's "slow starts" to a campaign is open to interpretation — before the October month of death, Moyes's boys were doing alright — but it's clear that with a quarter of the season already passed, the team needs to start picking up points to move back up the table. And, obviously, a home game with Wolves falls into the "must win" category. If the game at St James' Park showed anything it's that possession isn't the Blues' problem, it's conceding sloppy goals and turning territorial advantage into enough scoring opportunities to win games. Article continues below video content Whether Moyes opts to change anything significantly to address those attacking deficiencies or merely drafts Marouane Fellaini back into a central midfield that missed him badly two weeks ago remains to be seen but hopeful fans will be expecting a much-needed home win. Phil Jagielka will likely have another pain-killing jab in his fractured toe —that treatment got him through England's win over Spain last weekend — to partner Sylvain Distin in defence but it's unclear whether Phil Neville, who left the field against Newcastle with the recurrence of a hamstring strain, will be fit enough to start if Moyes wants him to. Though Mick McCarthy's Wolves sit four places above Everton in the table and the Blues have won just once at home so far this season, their prospects are good based on historial precedent. Wolves haven't won at Goodison in 32 years and last beat the Blues in 2004. Three of the last four meetings have ended in draws, though, suggesting that this weekend's visitors will be no pushovers. Hopefully, though, the combination of a returning Fellaini, with the ink on his new five-year contract barely dry, and a supportive home crowd will be enough to get a first win a month on the board and start injecting some confidence into Moyes's small squad. » Read more Live Matchday Forum Reader Comments (1) Note: the following content is not moderated or vetted by the site owners at the time of submission.
