Hoping to conclude the calendar year with a third consecutive Premier League victory, Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Everton to Molineux on Saturday for their final fixture of 2023.
Gary O'Neil's men ran riot in a 4-1 battering of Brentford on Wednesday evening, while the Toffees failed to hang onto a slender advantage against Manchester City, losing 3-1 to the current holders.
Hwang Hee-chan and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde both capitalised on misplaced passes from Collins, who also missed a glorious chance to reduce the deficit with a close-range header, and a ruthless Wolves unit were further indebted to another Hwang strike and early Mario Lemina header in a capital crushing.
While Wolves were gifted a pair of goals on a silver platter, O'Neil still wanted to highlight his side's clinical nature on an evening where the West Midlands crop shot up to 11th in the Premier League table, level on points with both Chelsea and Bournemouth, albeit having played a game more than the latter.
Success at the Gtech Community Stadium also saw Wolves march to back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season, but not since the days of Bruno Lage in January 2022 have the hosts triumphed in three top-flight fixtures on the bounce, and they have gone winless and scoreless in their last four games at the end of the calendar year.
