Rob Edwards opted for a pragmatic, deep block in the midweek meeting between these sides, and that approach paid dividends.

Wolves took the lead through Rodrigo Gomes in the 78th minute, which was Wolves’ first shot of the game. Mo Salah equalised soon after, but it was Wolves who had the last laugh, and Andre’s 94th-minute strike made it back-to-back wins for the Midlands side. 

Liverpool were the dominant team in terms of possession, but Wolves came away with the three points, so they are likely to go with similar tactics this weekend in the FA Cup. Liverpool racked up eleven corners in that match, with 19 shots worth 1.83 xG. 

Arne Slot's side are averaging 5.7 corners per game when playing away this season, and they will hope to be more clinical in the final third on Friday night. 

Even though it was his mistake that ultimately led to Mo Salah scoring, Jose Sa deserves immense credit for his five saves in that game.

The Wolves skipper has been kept busy in recent games, and he also played another key role against Aston Villa in the match before. Sa recorded four saves in that one, and he is averaging 2.93 saves per game in the Premier League this season. 

Arne Slot is likely to go with a strong eleven here, especially considering there is an FA Cup quarter-final spot on the line. Liverpool have fared well in the Champions League, but the FA Cup looks like their most realistic chance of silverware this season.

Slot opted for a strong eleven against Brighton in the previous round, as Liverpool secured a comfortable 3-0 win at Anfield - they will want a similar result here. 

Florian Wirtz was once again omitted from the matchday squad for Liverpool midweek, as the German international continues to struggle with a back injury.

That means Dominik Szoboszlai should continue to feature in an advanced midfield role. He registered three shots against Wolves three days ago, with one of those hitting the target. 

The Hungarian international is averaging 1.93 shots per 90 in the Premier League this season, which is incredibly impressive considering he has played large parts of the campaign at fullback. He has taken 52 shots in the league this campaign, and 77% of those have come from outside the box - despite that, he tends to be accurate with his efforts.

Szoboszlai has landed this selection in nine of his last eleven matches across all competitions, and he was on the scoresheet against Brighton in the previous round of the FA Cup.

Joao Gomes played a pivotal role in the league match midweek, as he featured for the full 90 in the heart of midfield.

The Brazilian was booked for his first foul in the 69th minute, so had to be a lot more cautious from then on, but he was still heavily involved in duels. Joao Gomes racked up a total of 23 duels - the most of any player in the match by quite some distance.

He completed six out of eight tackles and was dribbled past twice. Even though Wolves sat deep, they were still aggressive in the middle of the park, and they committed 13 fouls as a team. Andre was also kept busy, as he registered five tackles and one foul. 

Joao Gomes is averaging 2.24 fouls per 90 in the Premier League this season, and has landed this selection in eight of his last 12 starts.
