Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool meet in the FA Cup fifth round on Friday night, with the hosts welcoming the Reds to Molineux just days after their dramatic Premier League clash.
Wolves stunned Liverpool 2-1 at Molineux earlier this week, scoring twice late on with Andre netting a stoppage-time winner. The victory continued a strong run of form for Rob Edwards’ side, who have now lost just four of their last 14 matches in all competitions.
Recent results have included a win against Aston Villa and a draw against Arsenal, highlighting the improvement Wolves have shown during the second half of the campaign. Despite their struggles earlier in the season, they have become a far more competitive side in recent weeks.
Liverpool arrive seeking immediate revenge after Tuesday’s defeat. Arne Slot’s side had been enjoying an impressive run of form before that setback, but the result exposed defensive issues ahead of a busy stretch that also includes a UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie with Galatasaray.
The Reds created several chances in the league meeting and will expect to respond with a stronger performance in this knockout tie. With a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals at stake, another intense contest is expected at Molineux.
What are the best picks for Wolves vs Liverpool?
Liverpool to win
Liverpool had opportunities to win Tuesday’s league meeting but were punished late on. With the motivation of immediate revenge and their greater squad depth, the visitors should have enough quality to bounce back and progress to the quarter-finals.
Both teams to score
Wolves showed earlier this week that they can trouble Liverpool’s defence. The Reds have now conceded four goals across their last two matches, and with attacking talent on both sides, chances should come at either end.
Over 3.5 cards
Tuesday’s meeting was physical and fiercely contested, particularly in midfield. With another high-stakes knockout game and tensions fresh from earlier in the week, discipline could once again become a factor.
