Wolverhampton Wanderers will be hoping to get off the mark in the Premier League as they host a David Moyes's side on the back of two wins in their brand new home.
Vitor Pereira's side won on Tuesday night against West Ham with two late goals from Norwegian talisman Jorgen Strand Larsen as they progress to round 3.
In the league, it's been a different story for Wolves as they started the season with a 4-0 thrashing at home to Manchester City and a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth in which they conceded an early goal, and defender Toit was sent off early in the second-half as they currently sit 19th in the table.
Following the perfect opener for Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, where they were victorious against Brighton with goals from Illiman Ndiaye and James Garner, Everton will be hoping to win back-to-back as they travel to Molineux.
David Moyes's side progressed from the second round in the Carabao Cup as they saw off League One opposition in Mansfield Town, where new signing Tyler Dibling featured and will want to keep the momentum going.
Following the victory over the Seagulls, it was the first time Everton have been in the top half of the table since 2021 and the last time they had beaten Wolves away from home was back in 2021 with goals from Alex Iwobi and Michael Keane securing the points, for then Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti.

- Key Players
Wolves- Jorgen Strand Larsen
Following a solid debut campaign, the 25-year-old got 14 goals, which steered Wolves away from any relegation worries. The Norway international scored six times when Vitor Pereira's men won six in a row.
Linked with a move away from the club to Newcastle, Strand Larsen is quick, powerful and strong which could cause issues for Everton's back- line.
Against West Ham the former Celta Vigo man got the mark for this season with two late goals one being where he reacted quickest from an save from Alphonso Areloa where he thrashed it in the roof the net.
Minutes later he got between West Ham's center-half and guided his powerful header past the Frenchmen to send Wolves through.
The 25-year-old will certainly keep the Everton defence occupied if he features on Saturday.
Everton- Jack Grealish
Following a superb debut, Grealish shown in his first start since joining on loan from Manchester City what he can do and shown the qualities he still possesses.
For the first goal Grealish got 1v1 between his man and fizzed his cross across goal which Illiman Ndiaye tapped it in the empty net.
In the second-half the 29-year-old laid it off for James Garner who struck it from distance to give Everton the dream start in their new home.
The former Aston Villa man featured in the Toffee's victory in midweek and was dangerous once again creating chances for Dwight McNeil and almost scoring himself.
Returning to the midlands with his new club Grealish will once again be key for Everton to break down and create real moment for the Blues as they look to make it back-to-back wins for the first time since May.
