Everton have won as many Premier League matches in August 2025 (2) as they managed in the month of August in 2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024 combined (14 matches, 2 wins), whilst today was just the Toffees second away win in August in their last 15 (W2 D7 L6).
After winning six consecutive Premier League matches between March and April, Wolves have since failed to win any of their last seven in the competition, losing six of those (D1).
Since David Moyes' return to Everton, only four players (Mohamed Salah 12, Alexander Isak 10, Jean-Philippe Mateta 9 and Chris Wood 9) have scored more Premier League goals than Beto, who has notched eight goals in 21 appearances in the competition for the Toffees under the Scot.
Wolves have lost just two of their 11 Premier League home games against Everton (W4 D5), going down 3-0 in April 2011 and 2-1 in January 2021.
Having been winless in six Premier League meetings with Wolves between the 2021-22 and 2023-24 campaigns (D1 L5), Everton remained unbeaten in both matches last term (W1 D1).
Wolves are winless in their last 11 Premier League home matches in the month of August (D6 L5) since beating Fulham 2-0 in 2011 – they’ve lost their last three, conceding at least four goals in each with 14 shipped overall (1-4 v Brighton, 2-6 v Chelsea, 0-4 v Man City).
Everton haven’t conceded more than once in any of their last 13 away Premier League matches (W5 D4 L4), though did lose 1-0 last time out at Leeds. The last side to have a longer run was Manchester City between October 2021 and May 2022 (14).
Wolverhampton Wanderers are looking to avoid losing their first three Premier League matches for a third time, also doing so in 2003-04 and 2021-22. The only previous times they’ve lost their first league games of a season without scoring was the aforementioned 2021-22 campaign and in 1978-79.
