Wolves will be desperate to halt a four-match losing streak on Tuesday when they host Everton in an all-Premier League Carabao Cup third-round tie.
Vítor Pereira’s side are bottom of the league and in dire form. Meanwhile, Everton will be confident of repeating the 3-2 victory they secured at Molineux in the league just three weeks ago.
Vítor Pereira could receive a major boost with the potential return of top scorer Jørgen Strand Larsen from injury. The manager is still without defender Ki-Jana Hoever and is expected to rotate his squad after a poor run of results.
David Moyes is set to shuffle his pack but will be without defender Jarrad Branthwaite and midfielder Merlin Röhl. Goalkeeper Mark Travers is expected to start in place of Jordan Pickford, while Jack Grealish is also likely to feature from the off.
Wolves are in the midst of a crisis, having lost their last four games in all competitions and their last three straight at home in the league. Their only win of the season came in the previous round of this competition, but their defensive record is a major concern, having conceded ten goals in their last three home games.
The Toffees are in solid form, having lost just twice in their last ten matches. They showed their resilience in a narrow 2-1 defeat at Anfield on Saturday. Their recent victory at Molineux will give them a significant psychological advantage for this cup clash.
Wolves predicted XI: Johnstone; Mosquera, Agbadou, Toti Gomes, Hugo Bueno; Bellegarde, Andre, João Gomes, Rúben Gomes; Arias, Hwang Hee-chan.
Everton predicted XI: Travers; Coleman, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Garner, Iroegbunam; McNeil, Alcaraz, Grealish; Barry.
The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports+ in the UK. Coverage begins at 7:30 pm BST.
