Everton have lost three of their last five Premier League games
Wolves have taken four points from the last six available
Recommended bet: Double Chance - Wolves/Draw
After claiming their first Premier League win of the season last time out, rock-bottom Wolves will head into Wednesday's first-ever trip to Hill Dickinson Stadium to take on Everton with renewed belief.
Saturday's 3-0 victory over fellow strugglers West Ham at Molineux was Wolves' first league success since April and eased talk of them breaking Derby's record-low points total in a Premier League season, although relegation itself still appears inevitable.
Wolves did win twice in the Carabao Cup earlier in the season, including a 2-0 home success over Everton in September, and the Toffees will head into this game still smarting from their own 4-2 home loss to Brentford in their opening match of 2026.

Team news
Everton will once again be without Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jarrad Branthwaite and Seamus Coleman, who are all nursing hamstring issues, but Carlos Alcaraz, who sat out the last two games with an unspecified issue, could make his return.
Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye are still away at the Africa Cup of Nations, with Senegal having progressed through to the quarter-finals of that competition.
Wolves also have a player away at AFCON, Ivory Coast's Emmanuel Agbadou, while Toti Gomes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Marshall Munetsi, Leon Chiwome and Daniel Bentley are all sidelined through injury.
Joao Gomes and Hwang Hee-chan were forced off against West Ham with respective groin and calf issues and must be assessed, as will Rodrigo Gomes, who underwent groin surgery in the autumn and is closing in on a return.

The stats
Everton have only won one of their last five matches and have suffered three defeats in their last four at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Toffees were 3-2 winners when these sides met at Molineux in August's reverse fixture, but Wolves triumphed 2-0 when they locked horns in the cup a month later.
Wolves have won three of their last four away trips to Everton, although last season's most recent clash on Merseyside did end in a 4-0 victory for the Toffees.
The Old Gold have taken just two points from a possible 30 on the road this season and have not won on their travels in any competition since April.
Everton have lost five of their last nine league matches against teams that started the day bottom of the table.

Prediction
It would have been a huge relief for everyone connected to Wolves — not least head coach Rob Edwards — that they were finally able to register a first league win of the season at the 20th attempt.
That comprehensive success over West Ham came off the back of a midweek draw at Manchester United and strong displays in defeats away to both Liverpool and title-chasing Arsenal.
The underlying numbers have always indicated that Wolves are a better team than results suggest and they now appear to be proving that, something Everton may find out first hand.
The Toffees are enjoying a good season under David Moyes, with a European challenge not out of the question, but they were poor against Brentford last time out and have lost three of their last four at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Wolves also have a good recent record when visiting the blue half of Merseyside, winning three of their last four such trips, and the division's bottom club could continue their mini revival by going a third game unbeaten.
