Everton host EFL Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Third Round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, with the Toffees looking to get revenge on the Midlands side.<\/p>\n
It was the exact same situation this time last year, with Everton facing Wolves in the third round of the EFL Cup, with the fixture played at Molineux.. Goals from Marshall Munetsi and Tolu Arokodare sealed a 2-0 win for Vitor Pereira\u2019s side and Wolves entry to the fourth round.<\/p>\n
The current Everton side is stronger than a year ago, when David Moyes put out a fringe squad on the day.<\/p>\n
The Toffees should be confident going into the cup clash. Still unbeaten in the league, Everton have picked up six points in four games. Last time out, despite a dull on-pitch performance, a goalless draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium seemed to be deemed acceptable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jarrad Branthwaithe received plenty of praise from pundits and fans, and also the 24-year-old\u2019s defensive partner James Tarkowski:<\/p>\n
\u201cHe didn’t play many games and missed a lot of football, but he’s come back fit and flying, and you see tonight the quality he’s got, Tarkowski said.<\/a><\/p>\n “The amount of tackles and blocks he makes, but also he\u2019s very composed and comfortable on the ball. So hopefully that continues for him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Wolves have had a decent start to life in the Championship this season, picking up 11 points from six games to sit seventh. Nine years on from a Championship title win under Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo, Wolves find themselves back in the second division.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s been a decent start for Wolves, but a Premier League side away from home represents a tough challenge.<\/p>\n EVERTON TEAM NEWS<\/p>\n The Toffees are likely to be without Christian Noorgard, who is unlikely to debut until after the international break.<\/p>\n Furthermore, Merlin Rohl is likely to remain sidelined. The German international was unavailable for the draw against Spurs with an unspecifided injury. Jake O’Brien, Carlos Alcaraz and Tyler Dibling are among those who will hope for minutes after limited action so far this season.<\/p>\n EVERTON PREDICTED LINEUP (4-3-2-1)<\/p>\n Pickford; Maitlaind-Niles, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Hackney, Garner, Armstrong; Dibling, Barry, George<\/p>\n EVERTON VS WOLVES MATCH DETAILS<\/p>\n Kick-off: 7:45pm BST, Wednesday 16 September<\/p>\n Venue: Hill Dickinson Stadium, Liverpool<\/p>\n HOW TO WATCH EVERTON VS WOLVES<\/p>\n The EFL Cup clash will be broadcast live on Sky Sports+.

Disclaimer<\/a> ()<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted Pickford Dibling Armstrong Hackney Grealish Get Graham involved <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted I would not be surprised to see the Moyesiah pick the following team.<\/p>\n Pickford, AMN, O’Brien, Tarks, Myko. Hackney, Garner, Alcaraz, Grealish, George and Barry.<\/p>\n However he’s more likely to go for<\/p>\n Pickford, AMN, O’Brien, Keane, Myko, Hackney, Harrison, Alcaraz, Johnson, Dibling, Barry.<\/p>\n As he asked. What’s more important, a Cup or staying in the Prem ? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted \n You just know Moyes will definitely play Keane and personally I think he will put O’Brien at right back <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted \n Graham up front is a must! Give Barry a rest and if Graham does well then put him in for Saturday and give Barry a permanent rest!! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted AMN needs minutes, so will play. <\/p>\n Myko plays <\/p>\n I would go for JOB and Keane CB\u0092s <\/p>\n Grealish plays – Dibbles on the right <\/p>\n Barry for 60 mins then Johnson <\/p>\n Midfield of Garner to sit, Hackney and KDH <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted \n I would like to see Graham given a run out to see what level he is at. <\/p>\n
