Everton vs Wolves: Carabao Cup preview & head-to-heads

Is Everton v Wolves on TV? That is the question supporters have been asking as this Carabao Cup third round preview is refreshed with the latest details. Everton host Wolves at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Wednesday, 16 September 2026, with kick-off at 19:45 BST.

The tie carries extra edge thanks to Everton’s recent run of results and a Wolves side finding form of their own in the Championship. Here is where things stand on team news and broadcast coverage.

Match context and team form

David Moyes took his side into this match on a five-game unbeaten run across all competitions. That sequence includes a 4-0 win over Preston North End in the Carabao Cup second round, a result that showed real depth in the squad.

Wolves arrived having competed in the Championship for the 2026/27 season after their relegation from the Premier League. Their last five matches brought three wins, one draw and one defeat, so they travelled to Merseyside with confidence of their own.

Both managers had selection decisions to make given the demands of a midweek cup tie. Our guide to the predicted lineups for the tie looks at how each side might line up.
