Everton host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Cup Round of 32 on Wednesday night, with midfielder Christian Nørgaard confirmed as unavailable. The match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium kicks off at 18:45 UTC as Sean Dyche's side look to build on an unbeaten start to the season.
Everton sit ninth in the Premier League with six points from four games, their most recent result a goalless draw away to Tottenham. They are unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, a run that includes a 4-0 win at Preston in the previous round of this competition.
Christian Nørgaard is sidelined with a muscle injury and is not expected back until late October. The Danish midfielder is the only confirmed absentee on the club's latest injuries report. Wolves, who beat Sheffield United 1-0 at the weekend, are expected to field a strong side as they also compete in the Championship.
Everton's last meeting with Wolves was a Premier League fixture in the 2025-26 season. Following this cup tie, the Blues return to league action at home to Ipswich Town on Saturday. The current standings show Ipswich one place below Everton in tenth.
