Everton has been a solid mid-standings side in the APL for many years, but for the last three seasons in a row the Toffees have been forced to languish at the bottom of the table, fighting for survival in the English top flight. Adding insult to injury, they were docked eight points for a Financial Fair Play infringement the year before. These difficulties did not deter Sean Dyche's wards, who finished 15th in the table. Liverpool's pre-season form has been mixed. They drew 3:3 with Sligo Rovers, lost 2:1 to Salford and 3:0 to Coventry City and only beat Preston 3:0.

Roma got off to a bad start last season. Jose Mourinho was sacked, and their chances of qualifying for the Champions League dwindled with each round. His place was taken by Daniele De Rossi, and under him, Roma started to play with much more enthusiasm; they picked up the spirit and began to win. Ultimately, they failed to qualify for Europe's premier club competition, but the belief in a bright future was instilled. Wolves finished sixth in Serie A and reached the semi-finals of the Europa League, where Bayer knocked them out. In the summer, they went on a four-game tour of Europe. They lost 1:0 to Toulouse, drew 1:1 with Kosice and Olympiacos, and beat Barnsley 4:0.

Roma has made serious progress in recent months. Jose Mourinho seemed to be tormenting the players during his time at the club, so when the Portuguese were sacked, and Daniele De Rossi was brought in as head coach, the players loosened up and started to play their best football. Wolves did not have the best of starts in their first few friendlies of the summer, but their debut in England went very well as they beat Barnsley. Now they come up against Everton, who may be more of a status rival but are in mediocre form. 

Everton has shown remarkable determination to avoid a real fight for survival. The Toffees have been pragmatic in their approach, scoring just 40 goals in 38 rounds - the second-worst record after Sheffield's desperate run. However, there is a glimmer of hope as Sean Dyche's men showed significant improvement in pre-season, scoring and conceding 15 goals in four friendlies (an average of 3.75 per game).
