A busy Saturday of FA Cup third round action tonight concludes at Anfield as the Reds begin the defence of their FA Cup crown against Premier League opposition. Liverpool have started the new year in dismal fashion with a comprehensive defeat at Brentford, but can right those wrongs with victory tonight in front of a home crowd.
January signing Cody Gakpo will be making his debut, having arrived from PSV just over a week ago, and is in the starting line-up, though Virgil van Dijk is missing having been ruled out for a month with a hamstring injury. The centre-back joins Roberto Firmino on the sidelines.
These two teams met in the same stage of the FA Cup four years ago – four years to the day in fact – as Wolves ran out 2-1 winners at Molineux. Two years prior to that, in the fourth round, Wolves also beat Liverpool by the same scoreline. Will history repeat once again? Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.
