Everton v Wolves preview: Nuno’s focus shifts straight to Toffees

Nuno’s side would love to repeat what they did there last season – winning 3-1 – and, in turn, grab the first victory of this Premier League campaign.

And the Wolves chief, hot on the heels of Thursday’s win over Torino which saw the European journey extended, said: “We have to look at Everton now, and they’re such a good team.

“What we did was amazing, but now we have to think about a very good squad and a very good manager. It’s going to be a very tough game for us.”

Everton have picked a win, a draw and a loss in the league so far.

And they have only lost once at Goodison since Wolves won there in February, with Ruben Neves, Raul Jimenez and Leander Dendoncker on the scoresheet.

“That shows how good they are, and how well they do things,” said Nuno.

“All the moments of the game are going to be key. The shape, the organisation, has to be there. This is the most important thing.

“Whatever the game gives to you, you have to react it. We try to give the best answer in that moment. We immediately reacted (after conceding against Torino).

“Sometimes it takes longer, but the idea is to maintain the spirit – regroup and go again.”

Adama Traore will hope to keep hold of the right-wing-back berth after shining against the Italian outfit.

On the Spaniard’s contribution over the two legs, Nuno said: “It was important, no doubt about it. He has to improve a lot, but he was covering the centre-back and winning the balls in the air. It’s building a player, getting the best out of him.”

Matt Doherty is the other candidate for that position.

He is not fully fit after missing a fair chunk of pre-season and sat out of Thursday’s game, but has started all three league games.

When asked if he will be involved, Nuno said ‘for sure’, but added: “Matt is not at 100 per cent, as you know. He has been struggling.

“We have to use him when we should use him. We have to take care of him. When he’s ready to go, he’ll go again.”
