35’ – Fantastic run from Dibling and he runs along the goalline, cutback is deflected by Toti into Virginia’s arms!
Now Hackney plays Barry in behind the backline but Virginia is out like a shot and scrambles the ball away with the striker inches away.
33’ – Some sustained Wolves pressure as Everton cannot get the ball away with crosses peppering the Blues box.
27’ – AMN with a driving run forces Krejci to give up a corner. KDH into the box, cleared. Myko’s shot, blocked. Traore goes to ground and
is beaten by Grealish, cleared for another corner. Garner from the left, corner is low and short and JOB’s flicked header is into the side netting!
24’ – Beautiful flowing move from Pickford on as the Blues move the ball forward with one-touch short passes, and suddenly Hackney is open on the left, but Traore defends him well.
Now Neave tries to barge through Jake O’Brien but he’s never winning that battle and goes to ground hoping for a penalty, but no one is interested.
21’ – Delicious inswinging cross from the left by Grealish, goes over Thierno Barry’s head and Virginia comes flying over to parry it away, but looks like the striker was offside anyway.
Another chance as Grealish attacks, ball comes to Vitaliy Mykolenko and his cross into the box is good, but cleared away again.
15’ – Lovely move between Hackney, Dibling and Ainsley Maitland-Niles, cross is cleared. Again Dibling gets free on the right, cross is cleared again.
Lot more possession for the Blues in the last few minutes.
13’ – Corner on the Everton left, Garner to take. Deep and Virginia does well to take it at the back post.
12’ – Now Tyler Dibling goes on a run and is fouled. Taken quick, out to Grealish who plays in KDH. His cross is not cleared well, falls to Hackney whose shot is charged down and cleared.
10’ – Everton barely stop a quick counter down the middle, and as they set back up the field Grealish goes slaloming through Wolves and is fouled by Tchatchoua, and he is booked.
Freekick is taken short and wasted. Wolves get the ball and set off down the field, and now Grealish is booked for foul to stop the counter.
8’ – Jack Grealish finally gets a touch but is muscled off the ball by Toti, and the forward fouls his man. Everton have done precious little with the ball in the opposing half.
6’ – Michael Keane gives away a freekick about 30 yards out, Jimenez curls it over the wall and over the bar, Jordan Pickford was there.
4’ – Chirewa goes dancing through the Everton right and into the box, but his cutback is blocked and cleared.
2’ – Looks like James Garner is in the pivot with Hayden Hackney on the right and KDH on the left.
1’ – Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall gets us started!
The siren has gone off and Z-Cars has played too, and we’re ready to kickoff.
The Prime Ministers of Great Britain Andy Burnham and Canada Mark Carney are both Evertonians, and are both present at the game today.
Starting Lineups
Everton – David Moyes has certainly rung the changes in his lineup for this evening, where he can that is.
Wolves – Former Everton goalie Joao Virginia starts in goal for today’s visitors.
Match Preview
Everton are back in action tonight in the Third Round of the Carabao Cup as they welcome Wolves to Hill Dickinson Stadium. The Toffees have famously not prioritized the Cups in the earlier rounds at least, but with Wolves’ relative strength, David Moyes will not necessarily be able to rest too many players that featured in the stalemate at Tottenham on Saturday evening.
There’s not much to update on the injury front with Christian Norgaard still out for another month at least.
Wolves had a lunchtime kickoff on Sunday, and are preparing for a big Black Country derby against West Bromwich Albion over the weekend, so manager Cesar Peixoto might have to rotate his side appropriately.
