Everton travel to face Preston in this EFL Cup Round Two clash on Wednesday. The Toffees won their first competitive fixture of the campaign in the Premier League at the weekend and arrive as favourites against a second-division Preston that has lost its last two matches, hence our prediction favouring the away side.
Preston drew 1–1 with Huddersfield in regulation time before winning 4–3 on penalties to secure their place in this round. That remains their only win in three competitive matches this season, with their last two matches ending in defeat.
The Lilywhites fell 3–1 at home to Wolves in the Championship at the weekend, marking their fifth loss in six competitive matches since last season. In fact, Paul Heckingbottom’s side are winless in their last eight matches in regulation time (D1, L7) across competitive and friendly fixtures.
Everton have made a strong start to the campaign. The Merseysiders defeated Crystal Palace 2–0 in their Premier League opener at the weekend and will look to sustain that momentum on Wednesday.
This will be their first competitive encounter with Preston North End since their 2–0 win over the Lancashire-based outfit in the 2004 EFL Cup Third Round. In between, the two sides have clashed three times in friendlies, with Everton winning all three.

Our Preston North End vs Everton Prediction
Preston North End have yet to turn the corner after a disappointing end to last season. They head into this clash on the back of consecutive defeats, extending their poor run from pre-season.
Everton demonstrated their readiness for the new campaign with a strong Premier League start at the weekend and will look to sustain that momentum. History is also firmly on their side, with the Toffees winning each of their previous three meetings with Preston. Our Preston vs Everton prediction: Everton wins.
