Liverpool’s only clean sheet in their last nine competitive matches came against Derby. They edged past the League One outfit via a penalty shootout after a goalless draw. In their last 10 matches, Klopp’s team are averaging 1.7 goals per game. Marginally more than their opponents who are averaging 1.5. Virgil Van Dijk is side-lined for this one. The Liverpool defence are considerably weaker without the talismanic Dutchman at the heart of the backline.

There will no doubt be a response from Liverpool after the weekend’s lacklustre performance. Klopp has gotten the best out of these players over the last few seasons. He is an exceptional man-manager and the players will be raring to go on Tuesday.

Liverpool haven’t failed to score in consecutive competitive matches in the last two seasons. They had a couple of good chances to score at the weekend but both went begging. New signing Cody Gakpo will also be itching to get off the mark for his new club so we are predicting goals at both ends.

Wolves have picked up two bookings on the last two occasions they have hosted Liverpool. Andre Marriner is at the whistle for this one. He has awarded at least one yellow card per team in both FA Cup matches he has officiated involving top flight teams this season.

Liverpool’s opponents this season are averaging 1.14 cards per game. However, the frantic nature of this replay should also mean that there are tired legs late on. This increases the likelihood of a mistimed challenge leading to a booking.

Thiago is the man who pulls the strings in the Liverpool midfield. He is averaging 77.1 passes per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season. He also made 92 passes when these teams met at Anfield in their last game. The Spaniard also made 90+ passes when Liverpool travelled to Molineux last season.

He is set to start in midfield with Fabinho and Harvey Elliott so the onus will be on him to pick the pass that unlocks the Wolves defence. Wolves have conceded just one goal across their three home matches under Lopetegui. This should help our Thiago passes bet as they look to keep it tight and allow the visitors to have the ball in deeper areas.

Jonny is in line to start at left-back for Wolves. He will be tasked with keeping either Mohammad Salah or Cody Gakpo quiet. Salah needs no introduction. He has terrified Premier League defences for a number of seasons. The Egyptian has the quality to run at the opposition and force them into making a foul before he gets into their 18-yard box.

Cody Gakpo is a strong physical presence and has great dribbling ability. He likes to drift into wide areas to find space. He did this frequently for the Netherlands in Qatar, despite playing in a central role for Louis Van Gaal.

Both of Brighton’s full-backs made 2 fouls against Liverpool in their last game. Jonny was booked in the previous match against Liverpool and I expect him to be busy again on Tuesday. Jonny is averaging 0.7 fouls per game in the Premier League this season, and it wouldn’t even be a shock to see him pick up a yellow on Tuesday evening given the calibre of opposition he is sure to face.
