A draw is the best Wolves can show from their last three games, where they came up short in a 2-1 defeat against Leeds. A 0-0 draw with Fulham followed before they were defeated 1-0 by Tottenham. Wolves won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the EFL Cup, while also drawing zero. They suffered three defeats, while they scored 12 and conceded 12 goals.

Preston currently look solid after going three matches unbeaten. They laid the groundwork by beating Luton with a 0-1 scoreline, before settling for a point in a 0-0 draw against Rotherham. Their latest match once again had them share the points, this time in a 0-0 draw against Watford. Preston bulldozed their way to six wins in six EFL Cup away matches, which naturally is the best possible outcome for any side currently in this division. They outscored their opponents by 19 goals to four along the way.
