Overview
- Kick-off is 19:30 GMT at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool, with UK TV coverage on Sky Sports F1 from 18:00.
- Wolves arrive after their first league win of the season, a 3-0 victory over West Ham that doubled their points to six, yet they remain bottom and roughly 12 points from safety.
- Everton seek a response after a 4-2 home loss to Brentford and have dropped four of their past six home league games despite a recent away win at Nottingham Forest.
- Everton are without Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye due to AFCON, with Jarrad Branthwaite, Seamus Coleman and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall sidelined, as Jack Grealish carries creative duties with six league assists.
- Wolves miss Emmanuel Agbadou (AFCON) along with Toti Gomes and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, with Rodrigo Gomes and Marshall Munetsi close to returning; bookmakers still price Everton as favorites in pre-match markets.
