Everton lock horns with Wolves in the EFL Cup third round on Wednesday. The two teams are coming off contrasting wins in the previous round of the competition.
David Moyes’ Everton are coming off a goalless Premier League draw at Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend. The hosts dominated possession (63%) but couldn’t score off any of their two shots on target as a share of the spoils ensued.
Thanks for the submission!
With six points from four games – winning one – the Toffees turn their attention to the EFL Cup, where they won 4-0 at Preston North End in the previous round, with Thierno Barry starring with a hat-trick.
Meanwhile, Cesar Peixoto’s Wolves are fresh off a 1-0 win at Sheffield United in the Championship at the weekend. The visitors dominated possession (64%), with veteran striker Raul Jimenez scoring the game’s only goal in the 90th minute.
Wolves, who are seventh in the Championship after six games (winning three), are in EFL Cup action next, having won 2-0 at Sheffield Wednesday in the previous round last month, with both goals coming in the first half.
