Team Form and Analysis:
Wolverhampton Wanderers have had a disastrous start to their Premier League campaign, losing all five of their league games and sitting at the bottom of the table without a single point. The hosts are coming off a disappointing 3-1 home defeat to Leeds United. Under manager Vitor Pereira, Wolves have struggled to find their rhythm, and they will be looking to the Carabao Cup for a much-needed reprieve. They did manage a morale-boosting 3-2 comeback win against West Ham in the previous round of this competition. However, their defensive frailties are a major concern, and they will need to be at their best to contain a confident Everton side.
Everton, meanwhile, has had a much better start to their season, currently sitting in the top half of the table with seven points from their first five league matches. The visitors are coming off a narrow 2-1 defeat to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby, but their performance was praised for its resilience and attacking promise. Under manager David Moyes, Everton has shown a good balance of attacking threat and defensive solidity. They will be looking to their superior recent form and a recent 3-2 victory over Wolves at Molineux to secure a much-needed victory.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two clubs is closely contested. In 145 meetings, Everton has a slight edge with 65 wins to Wolves’ 51, with 29 draws. However, Everton has a psychological advantage, having beaten Wolves 3-2 at Molineux in their most recent meeting in August.
Player to Watch:
- Wolves: All eyes will be on their key attacking player Jørgen Strand Larsen, who has scored two goals in all competitions this season and will be a constant threat in attack.
- Everton: The focus for Everton will be on their key attacking players, Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye. Grealish has been in sensational form, providing four assists this season, while Ndiaye has been a constant threat in attack.
Prediction:
Given Everton’s superior squad quality, their excellent recent form, and their psychological advantage, they are the clear favorites to win this match. While Wolves will be looking for a much-needed victory, their struggles on the pitch and their defensive vulnerabilities suggest that this will be a tough contest. A narrow victory for Everton seems like a very plausible outcome, as they look to continue their cup run.
