Wolves beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Premier League on Tuesday night
The Reds won their eighth FA Cup in 2022, while the Old Gold have lifted the trophy four times
Recommended bet: Mohamed Salah to score or assist
Liverpool fell to a shock 2-1 defeat at Premier League basement boys Wolves on Tuesday, but they do not have to wait long for a chance to exact revenge as they head back to Molineux for an FA Cup fifth-round tie on Friday.
The Reds' title defence has not gone to plan and, given they lack the consistency of many of their Champions League rivals, the FA Cup may be their best shot at silverware.
Arne Slot will be aware of that and will want to make no mistake at Molineux.
However, Rob Edwards’ side are showing an almighty amount of fight of late and the Reds may need their best players to step up if they are to avoid an early exit.

Team news
Enso Gonzalez is Wolves' only absentee, but while Edwards will be delighted with Tuesday's showing, he is still likely to make changes.
Tolu Arokodare, Toti Gomes and Hee-Chan Hwang will all be pushing for starts.
Alexander Isak, Wataru Endo, Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley are long-term absentees for the Reds , while Florian Wirtz has missed the last two matches and is again a doubt.
Andy Robertson, Curtis Jones and Joe Gomez are among those likely to come in as Slot uses his options.
The stats
Wolves have lost only one of their last six matches and are unbeaten in three home games.
Liverpool have lost just two of their last 11 away matches, winning six.
Both of these sides have scored seven goals in two FA Cup fixtures this term.
Liverpool had won six straight head-to-heads before Tuesday's defeat at Molineux.
Mohamed Salah has scored eight goals and provided five assists in his 18 previous appearances against Wolves.

Prediction
It is hard for Liverpool to take many positives from a 2-1 defeat at a team who look destined for the Championship,, but one small consolation was that Mohamed Salah ended his Premier League goal drought.
The reigning PFA Player of the Year had not scored in the top-flight since November 1 and he will be keen to kick on after Tuesday'’s strike.
The Egyptian has been scoring elsewhere in fairness. He scored four times at the Africa Cup of Nations and has netted in the Champions League and against Brighton in the fourth round of the FA Cup since returning to Merseyside.
Salah's goal on Tuesday means he now has four goals and two assists in his last six appearances against Wolves, too, so he will be relishing another game against the Old Gold so soon.
Slot would ideally like to rest players ahead of a Champions League clash with Galatasaray, but he cannot afford to rotate heavily after Tuesday's disappointment.
Hosts Wolves will aim to frustrate the Reds again and the visitors will need their key players to produce a moment of magic, which is exactly why Salah should shine at Molineux.
