The club's only triumph so far this campaign came with a 3-2 comeback win over West Ham in the last round of the competition, as they have lost all five of their opening Premier League games.

Tonight's clash is a replay of the top flight fixture at the end of August, where the Toffees picked up a 3-2 win, and Wolves will be hoping for a different outcome in the third round of the Carabao Cup at Molineux.

Pereira knows the importance a win could have tonight, as Wolves look for any respite from their poor league form.

"A win gives us confidence," the head coach said.

"We don't have time to think a lot about this game, we need to focus on the next one.

"We need to improve, I need to improve myself, and we'll try to do it."

Pereira will have a decision to make on his team selection and whether he plays a stronger side to win the game, or uses it as an opportunity to give minutes to others.
