Wolves will take on Everton on Tuesday, 23 September, in an all-Premier League third-round clash in the Carabao Cup.
David Moyes is desperate to win Everton some silverware this season, and will see this competition as his best opportunity of doing that.
Vitor Pereira, on the other hand, is just desperate for his side to get their second win of the season.
As part of this week's round of EFL Cup betting tips, here is our Wolves vs Everton prediction.

Wolves vs Everton prediction: The Toffees to progress
Key Stats
- Everton have lost just one of their last five matches, and that was away against Liverpool.
- Wolves have lost eight of their last ten competitive matches.
- Both teams have scored in two of Everton's last three matches.
Correct score prediction: Wolves 1-2 Everton
Wolves have been the worst team in the Premier League this season, and were played off the park by Everton when the teams met at Molineux at the end of August. Everton have started the new season brilliantly, and were unlucky not to take something from the match against Liverpool on Saturday.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Everton are only the narrow favourites
- HOME: 9/5 (2.80) – 35.7%
- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
- AWAY: 7/5 (2.40) – 41.7%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Most recent H2Hs: A second meeting in under a month
As alluded to earlier, these two teams will be very familiar with each other as they last met just three weeks ago. Everton ran out as 3-2 winners on that occasion, and the Toffees are now unbeaten in their last three matches against Wolves. Wolves' last win over Everton came in December 2023.

Wolves preview: A chance to try something new
Vitor Pereira knows that whatever he is trying at the moment isn't working, but cup action provides him with a chance to experiment without the risk of losing more points. Enso Gonzalez is unavailable for selection due to a knee injury, but Jorgen Strand Larsen could return.
Predicted lineup: Johnstone (GK), Mosquera, Agbadou, Beuno, Gomes, Bellegarde, Andre, Bueno, Arias, Lopez, Hwang
Last five results
- Wolves 1-3 Leeds
- Newcastle 1-0 Wolves
- Wolves 2-3 Everton
- Wolves 3-2 West Ham
- Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves
Everton preview: Moyes to go for it.
There will be a temptation to rotate his squad, but David Moyes wants silverware, so expect the likes of Jack Grealish and James Tarkowski to start as normal. One change will see Jordan Pickford drop to the bench, as is customary in cup competitions. Jarrod Branthwaite remains out injured.
Predicted lineup: Travers (GK), Coleman, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Garner, Iroegbunam, McNeil, Alcaraz, Grealish, Barry
Last five results
- Liverpool 2-1 Everton
- Everton 0-0 Aston Villa
- Wolves 2-3 Everton
- Everton 2-0 Mansfield
- Everton 2-0 Brighton
Player to watch: Jack Grealish
It's fair to say that it hasn't taken long for Jack Grealish to rediscover his best form since leaving Man City, and the former Villa captain looks completely at home in this Everton side. Although on the losing side, Grealish was arguably the best player on the pitch in the Merseyside derby and won't want to lose any of his momentum here.
