Liverpool predicted team gallery vs Wolves - with teenager among eight changes made
Liverpool team expected to face Wolves in the FA Cup third-round replay.
Liverpool aim to move into the FA Cup fourth round this evening when they face Wolves at Molineux (19.45 GMT).
The Reds are the current holders of the competition but went close to crashing out at the first hurdle earlier this month. Jurgen Klopp’s side were held to a 2-2 draw at Anfield but Wolves were incensed they had a late goal not given due to offside.
Liverpool were certainly have to improve if they’re to get a result against Julen Lopetegui’s side. The Reds’ stuttering form continued with a 3-0 loss against Brighton last weekend and they’re winless in their past three games.
Klopp has admitted he wants to play a strong team against Wolves but will make changes to his starting line-up.
The Reds are sweating on the fitness of Darwin Nunez (hamstring) while key attacking trio Luis Diaz (knee), Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino (both calf) are ruled out. Virgil van Dijk (hamstring) and Arthur Melo (thigh) are also on the sidelines.
With that in mind, here’s the Liverpool team we expect to face Wolves.
