Wolves host Liverpool at Molineux tonight, aiming to secure back-to-back victories over the Reds for the first time in 46 years.
The Old Gold have moved into the fifth round for the third consecutive season, fueled by a dramatic league win over tonight’s opponents just three days ago. Manager Rob Edwards oversaw a disciplined 2–1 victory and now looks to lead Wolves to their first quarter-final since 2019.
Notably, the last time Wolves faced Liverpool in the fifth round was in 1949—a match they won 3–1 on their way to lifting the trophy.
Wolves team news
Rob Edwards has a near full-strength squad available as they look to build on their recent momentum. Andre is suspended while Enso González is sidelined by a knee injury.
Hee-Chan Hwang is fit and available after a month-long layoff, providing a significant boost to the attack. Consequently, the manager must decide whether to rotate his starting XI after a gruelling Tuesday night fixture. Sam Johnstone is expected to start in goal, continuing his role as the designated cup keeper this term. Notably, Wolves have only played lower-league opposition in the cup so far this season and will face their toughest test yet tonight.
Sam Johnstone will start in goal behind a defensive line likely featuring Santiago Bueno and Ladislav Krejčí. Mateus Mane and Jackson Tchatchoua will provide the width, with Angel Gomes and Armstrong leading the line. Notably, Wolves are winless in 29 matches in which they have conceded at least once, underscoring the importance of defensive solidity tonight.
Wolves predicted lineup
Wolves Predicted XI (3-4-1-2): Johnstone; Doherty, Bueno, Krejci; Tchatchoua, Mane, Bellegarde, J Gomes, Wolfe; A Gomes, Armstrong
