Everton welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Goodison Park on Saturday and the encounter is perfectly poised to be quite an important matchup for both camps.

Marco Silva's men, though, should head into the clash feeling they have nothing to lose and play the type football they have been trying to master this whole season, while at the same time a win over Nuno Espirito Santo's charges could spark new life into the Merseyside club.

A run of poor results in recent times by the Toffees was followed by an important win at Huddersfield Town on Tuesday evening and despite losing Lucas Digne to a red card, the victory came at a crucial time for the team.

A shock defeat to Millwall in the FA Cup over the weekend heaped a lot of pressure on both the manager and the players and raised a few big question marks over the quality of the group.

There have been times this season where it was quite evident to what Everton can achieve if all the players play to their best abilities, but inconsistency has let the team down on too many occasions this season.

That's why the big test against Wolves could come at just the right time for Silva to see his team turn a corner and show the rest of the league what the club is building towards.

Wolves have a two-point lead over Everton in the Premier League and both clubs will be desperate for a win to improve their chances of qualifying for the Europa League.

A strong showing against the high flying Wolves would signal to the fans as well that Everton haven't given up on their season and are still committed to finish on a high.

Wolves, though, are enjoying a stellar time in the league and easily saw off West Ham United on Tuesday evening with a 3-0 thumping.

This should encourage Everton even more to raise their game come Saturday and put in a proper performance that would please both the manager and the supporters.
