Follow all the action from Molineux Stadium
Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Everton today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
It ends level at Molineux as Wolves and Everton are forced to settle for a point apiece. Harrison broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute as Lindstrom found him in space inside the box, his strike taking a few deflections on its way into the net. But Wolves responded strongly and enjoyed their best passage of play in the final 15 minutes of the second half. Bellegarde’s incisive pass through the lines set Munetsi up to level the scoring, and the Zimbabwean obliged with a tidy finish. There was little else to separate the two sides across the second half. Strand Larsen came close to squeezing his shot over the line in the 71st minute but Pickford was quick to make the save, while Everton countered immediately after and saw a good shot from Beto denied by Sa’s outstretched hand. Everton created the better chances on the night, evidenced by their xG of 1.32 compared to Wolves’ xG of just 0.60. But both managers should be happy with their sides’ efforts. Wolves remain in 17th place, six points above the drop zone while Everton move up to 14th, level with Manchester United, Tottenham, and West Ham. Wolves take on basement club Southampton in their next league match, while Everton face West Ham next weekend. That’s all from us tonight, thank you for joining this live commentary.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
There's not much time left in the game now, and both sides will want to push for an opportunity to steal three points but they will want to be very cautious not to lose the point they already have. There is perhaps a tinge more desperation coming from the Wolves dugout than there is from the Toffees, but it is delicately poised at the moment. We have about four minutes plus stoppage time remaining.
