Everton’s Carabao Cup third-round tie against Wolves edges closer, and this preview has been refreshed on 19 September 2026 with the latest context, team news timings and a direct answer on where fans can watch the game.
Updated match context ahead of Carabao Cup tie
Everton head into this one on the back of a goalless draw with Tottenham on Sunday, a result that kept a clean sheet but left supporters wanting more going forward. Wolves arrive in better attacking form, having beaten Sheffield United 1-0 in their last outing.
The two sides last met in January, when they shared a 1-1 draw at Hill Dickinson Stadium. That fixture produced plenty of debate among Evertonians, and you can revisit some of the talking points around Hill Dickinson Stadium from that meeting.
One significant boost for Everton is the return of Jarrad Branthwaite, who is back available after a spell out through injury. His presence at the back gives the manager a genuine selection option that simply wasn’t there a few weeks ago.
Predicted Everton line-up
With Branthwaite back in the squad, Everton have a decision to make over whether to ease him back through the cup or hold him in reserve for Premier League duties. Cup football often brings changes anyway, and a tie of this nature typically sees some rotation across the pitch.
Exact selection will only become clear when line-ups are confirmed, but Branthwaite’s return is the standout team news line heading into this fixture. Supporters should treat any early team-sheet talk as provisional until the official announcement lands.
For the confirmed starting eleven once it’s released, readers can check the confirmed team news as soon as it’s published.
Predicted Wolves line-up
Wolves come into the match full of confidence after their win over Sheffield United, and that result may encourage a settled approach rather than wholesale changes. Cup ties do still tend to bring at least some fresh faces into the squad.
As with Everton, the full picture on personnel will only be clear once official team news is released. Fans hoping for specifics on the Wolves side should look out for that confirmation rather than relying on early speculation.
Is Everton v Wolves on TV?
As things stand, no broadcaster has been confirmed for this Carabao Cup tie between Everton and Wolves. Supporters should check the club’s official channels and the competition organisers closer to kick-off for the latest broadcast confirmation.
Carabao Cup coverage varies from round to round, with selected ties shown live while others are not televised. Until an official broadcast announcement is made, fans should assume this detail remains unconfirmed and check back for updates.
What happens next
The next confirmed milestone is the release of official team line-ups, scheduled for 18:30 BST on the day of the match. That announcement will settle the uncertainty around both starting elevens, including whether Branthwaite is named from the off.
Once team news drops, the confirmed team news will carry the full detail for both sides. Readers can also compare this update against the original Carabao Cup match preview to see how the picture has developed since it was first published.
For now, the key facts remain clear. Everton go into the tie off a goalless draw with Tottenham, while Wolves arrive on the back of a win over Sheffield United. Branthwaite’s return adds a genuine option at the back as both clubs look to book their place in the next round.
