Wolverhampton Wanderers face West Ham United in an all-Premier League Carabao Cup second-round clash at Molineux on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, with a 7:30pm BST kick-off. Wolves, struggling after two opening Premier League defeats, aim to spark momentum under head coach Vitor Pereira, who plans to rotate his squad to balance this cup tie with upcoming league commitments against Everton.
West Ham, also seeking their first Carabao Cup title, enter with injury concerns, including George Earthy, Luis Guilherme, and Crysencio Summerville, while Wolves miss Leon Chiwome, Ki-Jana Hoever, and the suspended Toti Gomes. Despite never meeting in this competition, West Ham hold a historical edge, winning all three prior FA Cup encounters.
