Everton manager Rafael Benitez is counting on Richarlison's return to lift them after last week's thumping by Watford.

Against Wolves, that Richarlison available to start for the first time since mid-September is a significant boost.

"He is getting better, has been training well during the week," said Benitez.

"In terms of mentality yes (he is ready), in terms of his fitness he will not be 100 per cent but he is getting better and I am confident he maybe can start and am confident for sure he will give us something.

"If you think about the top scorers last year, he was one of the top scorers so he is someone who can play well, has the ability to beat players and score goals - enough things for a team.

"When you have a player who has been doing so well last year and is a key player for you, and was good for us at the start of the season, you can miss him or you can be really pleased and it can be a big positive for the team when he is coming back and scoring goals like the other day."
