Everton vs Wolves: Match Preview | It's come to this, critical August games

It started with that horrific thrashing at Aston Villa, which finished 4-0 but could have easily been more, leaving the club bottom of the table for the first time since 2010 and having lost their first two games of the season without scoring since the 1950s. The game also saw the luckless Dominic Calvert-Lewin potentially fracture his cheekbone in a freak accident before being jeered, inexplicably, by his own supporters. After the game it emerged Amadou Onana had been racially abused on social media. News of a bid for Che Adams raised hopes of finally having a senior striker available to act as back-up to the stricken Calvert-Lewin, but as the week wore on no agreement could be reached, with the Toffees reportedly haggling over how much to pay up front.
