Everton vs Wolves Preview, prediction, team news, lineups | Carabao Cup 2026-27
The previous outing between these clubs ended in a 1-1 draw!
Everton FC will be looking ahead to their face-off against Wolverhampton Wanderers for their third-round fixture of the Carabao Cup 2026-27. The Hill Dickinson Stadium is all set to witness this clash.
The Toffees haven’t faced a defeat since the beginning of the new season and will be looking to extend their run. They took down Preston North End in their previous EFL Cup encounter. It was an easy 4-0 victory for the David Moyes-led side. They will now be looking to come up with another top performance.
Everton have secured back-to-back draws in their last three matches. Most recently was their clash against Tottenham Hotspur and it was a top-notch performance by the Toffees in the backline. For their upcoming contest, they will be at home and this is going to be a big advantage for them.
After their poor show of performances last season, Wolverhampton Wanderers were demoted to the English second division. In their first six league games of the season, they have managed three wins in what can be considered an average run of performances for them.
César Peixoto’s men took down Sheffield Wednesday in their last Carabao Cup fixture. It was a 2-0 victory for them. They are up against Everton for their next one and it is not going to be an easy contest for them. Wolves are unbeaten in their last two games against the Toffees and will be looking to come up with a similar performance now.

James Garner (Everton)
