Everton v Wolverhampton Wanderers
The game (does not) scream goals
The Opta Stat:
"Two of Everton's last three home Premier League matches have ended goalless, as many as in their previous 54 combined at Goodison Park. The last three games at Goodison have seen just two goals scored, with both Everton and their opponents converting just 2.4% of their attempts (2/82). Indeed, Everton have kept a clean sheet in 44% of their Premier League games under Sean Dyche at Goodison Park (15/34) - the only permanent Toffees manager with a higher ratio in the competition is Joe Royle (46%, 22/48)."

Manchester City have picked up at least two cards in five of the six matches at the Etihad this season and in eight of City's last 11 games in the Premier League."
