Match Preview:
Everton host Wolves on Saturday in a meeting of two sides who've found consistency an issue during the first two months of the season.
The Toffees were expected to be challenging for a top four place this year but currently find themselves down in tenth after taking just ten points from a possible 21.
Wolves are two points and seven places worse off despite producing some solid displays on their return to the Premier League.
Everton boss David Moyes has thrown down the gauntlet to his players ahead of Saturday's game after admitting they have flattered to deceive so far.
"I don't think we've reached the heights. I think we've got a good bit to go yet," he declared. "I can see the players getting more confident, a lot more belief coming into them.
"But we are trying to integrate one or two news players as well, who we're having to find out about. Overall we've done okay."
A lengthy injury list is not helping the Toffees and once again Mikel Arteta, Phil Jagielka, Phil Neville, Victor Anichebe, Steven Pienaar and James Vaughan will all miss out with knee problems.
Russia international Diniyar Bilyaletdinov is expected to shake off a thigh injury which forced him out of the 1-1 draw with Stoke City before the international break.
Marouane Fellaini has also been cleared to play despite the Belgian FA threatening a FIFA ban after he missed their midweek international game in order to have surgery on a dental problem.
Wolves arrive in Merseyside looking to arrest a run of three successive Premier League defeats at the hands of Portsmouth, Sunderland and Manchester United.
The 1-0 defeat to rock-bottom Portsmouth before the international break was a bitter pill to swallow for Mick McCarthy as he felt his side should have been awarded a "stonewall penalty" when the game was deadlocked.
However, the Molineux boss has been boosted by the returns of several key players from injury with Michael Kightly, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Stefan Maierhofer all in first-team contention, while Scotland striker Chris Iwelumo not far behind after his pre-season knee problem.
Results:
Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Results. 1-1
