Wolves vs Everton prediction 23.09.2025 | EFL Cup

Wolves come into Tuesday's EFL Cup third round clash in dismal form after another disastrous home defeat last weekend. Despite taking the lead in their home clash against Leeds, Vitor Pereira's side conceded three goals in the first half as they slipped to a 3:1 reversal at Molineux. 

The hosts have struggled badly since the start of the season, and remain pointless after five Premier League games. A 3:2 win against West Ham in this competition remains Black and Gold's only victory of the season. Going back even further, Pereira's side have lost eight and won just one of their last ten competitive fixtures.

The Portuguese boss could make some changes to his first XI on Tuesday. Top scorer Jørgen Strand Larsen could make his return to the side after missing the hosts last three matches. Ki-Jana Hoever remains a long-term absentee.

Everton makes the trip to Molineux in strong form despite a narrow 2:1 defeat against old rivals Liverpool on Saturday. David Moyes' side put in a spirited display but eventually fell to their second defeat of the season.

The Toffees enjoyed an excellent run of results before their weekend loss, winning three and drawing one of four games since a 1:0 loss at Leeds last month.

Moyes' men have improved significantly since the Scot returned to his role as head coach. Everton lost just two of their last ten competitive games, and only five of their last 21 fixtures since February.

Everton are unlikely to make too many changes to their first XI this week.Jarrad Branthwaite is the expected absentee for the Toffees.
