Wolves v Everton preview

Wolves v Everton preview

Published Apr. 8, 2011 9:15 a.m. ET

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy is confident Steven Fletcher will be available despite missing part of training this week with a slight calf problem but Stephen Hunt's hopes of being involved in the run-in have suffered a setback after it was revealed he requires hernia surgery. Kevin Doyle (knee), Ronald Zubar (back) and Dave Edwards (back) remain long-term casualties, but Adlene Guedioura is in contention to play some part following six months out of action. Everton again have a number of injury concerns ahead of the game, with Seamus Coleman, Jack Rodwell (both ankle) and Tim Cahill (foot) all doubtful. Mikel Arteta (hamstring) remains on the sidelines, and Louis Saha and Marouane Fellaini are long-term absentees, but Victor Anichebe, injured on recent international duty, could be back in contention. Magaye Gueye and Apostolos Vellios are likely to get further opportunities after making their Premier League debuts against Aston Villa last week. Wolves (from): Hennessey, Foley, Stearman, Elokobi, Hammill, Henry, Milijas, O'Hara, Jarvis, Ebanks-Blake, Ward, Kightly, Fletcher, Hahnemann, Craddock, Jones, Mancienne, Guedioura, Mouyokolo, Mujangi Bia. Everton (from): Howard, Hibbert, Distin, Jagielka, Baines, Bilyaletdinov, Neville, Heitinga, Osman, Beckford, Anichebe, Rodwell, Cahill, Coleman, Gueye, Vellios, Mustafi, Baxter, Duffy, Forshaw, McAleny, Nsiala, Mucha.
