Wolves vs Liverpool – Expected Lineup and Team Updates

Wolves will face Liverpool at Molineux tonight, looking to secure consecutive wins over the Reds for the first time in 46 years.

Wolves have reached the fifth round for the third straight season, thanks to a thrilling league win over Liverpool just three days ago. Manager Rob Edwards led the team to a disciplined 2-1 victory and aims to guide Wolves to their first quarter-final since 2019. The last time Wolves met Liverpool in the fifth round was in 1949, a match they won 3-1, ultimately leading to a trophy win.

Wolves team news

Rob Edwards has a strong squad available as they seek to maintain their recent momentum. Hee-Chan Hwang is back after a month out, adding strength to the attack. The manager may consider changes to the starting lineup following their intense match on Tuesday. Sam Johnstone is likely to start in goal, continuing his role as the cup keeper. So far this season, Wolves have faced only lower-league teams in the cup, making tonight’s match their biggest challenge yet.

Johnstone will be backed by a defense potentially featuring Santiago Bueno and Ladislav Krejčí. In midfield, João Gomes and Tuesday’s match-winner André are expected to hold the fort. Mateus Mane and Jackson Tchatchoua will stretch the play wide, while Angel Gomes and Armstrong lead the attack. It’s important for Wolves to maintain a solid defense tonight, as they have not won any of their last 29 matches when conceding a goal.
