Liverpool are set to play Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on Saturday in the third round of the FA Cup.
Liverpool come into this game on the back of a 3-1 loss to Thomas Frank's Brentford in the league. An own goal from French centre-back Ibrahima Konate and goals from DR Congo international Yoane Wissa and forward Bryan Mbeumo sealed the deal for Brentford. Midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored the goal for Liverpool.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, drew 1-1 against Unai Emery's Aston Villa in the league. A first-half goal from Portuguese winger Daniel Podence for Wolverhampton Wanderers was canceled out by a second-half goal from attacker Danny Ings for Aston Villa.

Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
Liverpool's Premier League season is unraveling, and Jurgen Klopp's men find themselves sixth in the league right now. The season is long, and Liverpool will still aim to finish in the top four. However, their chances of winning a trophy this season now rely on them doing well in cup competitions.
Some interesting news concerning these two clubs has done the rounds recently. Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Matheus Nunes. Given Nunes was a high-profile, big-money acquisition by Wolves last summer, his being linked to Liverpool after half a season of fairly average performances has been met with surprise.
What is even more surprising is Liverpool deciding to spend money on Cody Gakpo, an attacker, ahead of a midfielder. Enzo Fernandez, Jude Bellingham and Moises Caicedo have all been linked.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, will hope that the addition of Brazilian attacker Matheus Cunha on loan from Atletico Madrid provides some much-needed impetus to their drab attack. Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been linked with them recently.
Liverpool to win here.
