Wolves vs Liverpool Confirmed Lineups and Team News

Molineux will stage a rapid-fire rematch tonight as Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool reconvene in the FA Cup fifth round, only days after Wolves snatched a dramatic 2–1 league victory on the same turf. A quarter-final berth is the prize this time, and both camps have released their starting XIs.

Wolves boss Rob Edwards must plan without first-choice goalkeeper José Sá, rested as he manages an ankle complaint, and midfielder André, who is suspended after accumulating too many yellow cards. Edwards expects another ferocious contest: “They’re a brilliant team. I don’t anticipate loads of change tactically, but they’ll look to do things quicker and better, and we have to be ready for that.”

Liverpool, meanwhile, remain without Alexander Isak, Wataru Endo, and Connor Bradley through injury, while Florian Wirtz has returned to training and could see late minutes. Head coach Arne Slot underlined the club’s cup ambition: “We always find every trophy we can win very important. Champions League qualification is massive as we all know, but tomorrow the FA Cup is on the line, and that is a massive game for us.”
