Why a home draw in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup would excite Wolves supporters

Wolves continued their impressive Carabao Cup form, following up their comeback victory against West Ham with another triumph over Everton.

Marshall Munetsi opened the scoring for the hosts before Tolu Arokodare made an impact off the bench, netting his first Wolves goal with a delicate chip.

Munetsi also lauded Wolves’ defence for their role in the win, as it marked the first clean sheet of the season for the Old Gold.

The victory showcased a much more composed performance compared to their recent Premier League struggles.

However, there’s a reason supporters are now buzzing at the prospect of the fourth-round draw.

Wolves have now won their last seven home games in the Carabao Cup

While Vitor Pereira continues to demand that Wolves’ leaders step up to avoid another relegation scrap, he was impressed with the display against Everton.

Wolves have now won their last seven home games in the Carabao Cup and will be hoping for another outing at Molineux in the fourth round.

Having already beaten two Premier League opponents, they won’t be worried about the prospect of facing a big side.

While league survival remains the priority, Wolves could still mount a cup run to give supporters something to get excited about.

The recent home form adds an extra layer of optimism ahead of the draw.

Carabao Cup run giving Vitor Pereira a chance to find his best Wolves XI

The cup has provided Pereira with a valuable platform to experiment and assess his squad in competitive matches.

Players like Munetsi, Arokodare, and Ladislav Krejci have been able to showcase their abilities, giving the manager insight into who can thrive in his system.

Arokodare opened his account, giving him confidence to carry that form into upcoming matches, while Jhon Arias received a rare start, helping him build important connections with teammates and adapt to Pereira’s system.

It has also allowed the 57-year-old head coach to rotate his squad while maintaining strong performances, helping him identify which combinations work best.

The positive results in these fixtures give the Wolves squad confidence to build momentum and cohesion ahead of crucial league games.

Ultimately, the cup is serving as a testing ground to determine the best starting team and tactical setup for the season.
