Carabao Cup · 3rd Round

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview

Everton arrive at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in buoyant spirits, unbeaten across their last five matches in all competitions. David Moyes has made no secret of his desire for a deep Carabao Cup run, fielding a full-strength side in the previous round and watching Thierno Barry plunder a hat-trick in a commanding 4-0 demolition of Preston North End. With a 32-year trophy drought hanging over Goodison, the Toffees will treat this third-round tie with real intent.

Wolves, meanwhile, present an intriguing puzzle. Cesar Peixoto's side have won three of their last four outings, yet their league form carries a caveat: ten goals conceded in five Championship fixtures points to persistent fragility at the back. The Portuguese coach rotated heavily for the second-round victory over Sheffield Wednesday, and with promotion back to the Premier League the overriding priority, a similar approach here would hardly surprise. Everton eliminated them at this stage last season, so revenge cuts both ways.

Everton's home win at 1.95 represents the standout selection. David Moyes fielded his strongest side in the previous round and reaped a 4-0 demolition of Preston, with Thierno Barry bagging a hat-trick. That attacking intent contrasts sharply with Wolves' likely rotation; Cesar Peixoto deployed a second-string squad against Sheffield Wednesday and may well do so again, prioritising promotion over cup progress.

Wolves have shipped ten goals across their last five league outings, a defensive record that inspires little confidence. Everton also carry a revenge motive after Wolves knocked them out at this very stage last season with a 2-0 win. Backing over 2.5 goals at 1.70 looks appealing given the visitors' porous backline and the Toffees' firepower in this competition.

A both teams to score "no" wager at 1.85 complements the home win pick neatly. Wolves' cup selections have lacked cutting edge, while Everton's rearguard has steadied considerably during their recent unbeaten run. If Moyes names a full-strength side once more, the hosts should control proceedings and keep the visitors at arm's length throughout.

Trends to Know about Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

• Everton unbeaten in last five matches
• Wolves conceded ten goals in five
• Barry tops cup scoring with three

Both lineups carry a speculated status here, drawn from sources predating this fixture, and Carabao Cup rotation makes either XI liable to change before kickoff. The tactical picture, a 4-2-3-1 for Everton against Wolves' 3-4-2-1, suggests a compact midfield battle, with the visitors' wing-backs likely to be central to how they build through the thirds.

Thierno Barry leads the line for Everton in what could be a rotated side, while Raúl Jiménez offers Wolves a focal point up front. Given the uncertainty around both selections, treat these configurations as a working guide rather than a settled picture.
