Nineteen EFL Cup showdowns are scheduled for Tuesday night, including several all-Premier League fixtures that intensify early-season congestion. Wolves have struggled for consistency after a midseason rise under Vitor Pereira, finishing last season poorly and starting the new campaign with consecutive heavy defeats, including a 4-0 loss to Manchester City. Wolves hold a favourable recent home record against West Ham, including a 1-0 win on April 1 and three victories in four meetings at Molineux. West Ham have endured a dire start, losing 3-0 to Sunderland and collapsing 5-1 to Chelsea, increasing pressure on manager Graham Potter and fuelling relegation concerns. The clash presents both a chance for Wolves to regain momentum and for West Ham to arrest a damaging run of form, making it an attractive fixture for midweek betting interest.
Despite cruising their way to Premier League safety last season, the Midlands-based outfit collected just a single point from any of their final four top-flight appearances. Getting the new campaign underway with what was a nightmare 4-0 drumming at the hands of Manchester City, the former Botafogo boss has seen his squad suffer consecutive defeats from their first two Premier League showdowns.
Getting the 2025/26 campaign underway with a 3-0 defeat against Premier League returners Sunderland, West Ham are widely regarded as a leading relegation contender this season. Last seen over the weekend suffering an infamous collapse at the London Stadium as they fell to a 5-1 drumming at the hands of historic rivals Chelsea, the former Brighton boss has rightfully come under a huge amount of scrutiny.
