Liverpool v Wolves prediction and team news: Who will win FA Cup game?
Our predictions for Liverpool v Wolves in the FA Cup, including who we think will win and predicted line-ups.
Liverpool begin their FA Cup defence at Anfield as they host Wolves in the third round on Saturday evening.
The Reds beat Chelsea on penalties in last year's final at Wembley – an eighth FA Cup triumph for the club but the first for Jurgen Klopp – to keep their hopes of a historic quadruple alive.
Things look very different this season as a stuttering start to 2022/23 means the competition now represents their only shot at major domestic silverware.
Wolves at home may have looked an appetising draw when it was announced back in November but the Molineux outfit have been rejuvenated by new boss Julen Lopetegui.
The Spaniard's main aim this term will be Premier League survival but he'll know what an important momentum boost a win over Liverpool at Anfield and a subsequent FA Cup run could provide.

Liverpool v Wolves prediction
Both managers will likely be looking to walk that tight line between rotating during a particularly busy period and not weakening their team too much.
The absence of Virgil van Dijk through injury is an obvious blow for Liverpool but there may be changes to the Wolves backline, with Lopetegui's hand forced by their EFL Cup quarter-final on Wednesday, that their forwards can exploit.
The Reds' frailties at set pieces and in transition were exposed by Brentford and the visitors will hope to have success in similar areas.
It could be tight but Anfield is so often the deciding factor.
Our prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Wolves (8/1 at bet365)
