Wolves vs Liverpool: FA Cup prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream

The Premier League duo shared four goals in the first third-round clash, which was not without controversy as Liverpool arguably benefited from two VAR calls, both in scoring and then seeing a Wolves winner ruled out.

Wolves slogged past West Ham at the weekend to move out of the relegation zone, while Liverpool were humbled 3-0 by Brighton. These, at least judging by recent form, are two teams going in the opposite direction.

Wolves vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 7.45pm GMT kick-off today, Tuesday, January 17, 2023.

The match will take place at Molineux.

TV channel: In the UK, the match will be televised live on BBC One.

Live stream: Fans can also catch the game live online via the BBC iPlayer app and website.

Wolves are hoping to have Diego Costa fit, with the striker set to undergo a late fitness test. Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), Boubacar Traore (groin) and Pedro Neto (ankle) are out.

Darwin Nunez is “very close” to a return after a small injury but Liverpool look set to start with Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo up front.

Thiago Alcantara featured behind Salah and Gakpo in the defeat at Brighton, a change from the Reds’ typically favoured 4-3-3 system, so Jurgen Klopp may mix things up again with Fabio Carvalho in contention.

James Milner and Stefan Bajcetic are back in training but Virgil van Dijk, Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota, Arthur Melo and Luis Diaz remain absent.

The first meeting was a superb cup tie and I can see more of the same at Molineux. Wolves are improving and Liverpool are struggling, so we could see another goalfest and another big-name scalp.

Wolves to progress, winning 2-1.

Wolves wins: 36

Draws: 18

Liverpool wins: 57

Wolves to progress: 29/20

Liverpool to progress: 8/15

Cody Gakpo to score: 21/10
