Liverpool vs Wolves
FA Cup 2016/17

Anfield, Liverpool
LIVERPOOL TEAM NEWS & PREVIEW
The Reds have only won one of seven matches in 2017 so far. Jurgen Klopp‘s men were knocked out of the EFL cup by Southampton earlier this week and the home fans will be hoping for a big win to soften that blow.
Liverpool have lost three of their last five in all competitions and are also struggling to keep up with Chelsea in the Premier League title race.
Ings, Brannagan, Grujic, Mane and Clyne are the only absentees for the home side this weekend.
Predicted Liverpool Starting Lineup (4-3-3): Karius; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Klavan, Moreno; Lucas, Stewart, Ejaria; Ojo, Woodburn, Origi
WOLVES TEAM NEWS & PREVIEW
Wolves will be looking to pull off an upset here. The away side are heading into this game on the back of four wins in their last seven games.
Their current form is a massive improvement considering how they started the season. Paul Lambert has done a very good job since December and Wolves are clearly on their way up. Prior to their current run, Wolves had won just four matches in their last 18 matches.
The last time these two sides met, Liverpool picked up a comfortable 3-0 win.
The away side will be without the services of Ikeme, Graham, Zyro and Saiss.
Predicted Wolves Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1): Burgoyne; Iorfa, Stearman, Batth, Doherty; Price, Edwards; Costa, Mason, Weimann; Bodvarsson

Wolves are likely to put up a fight, but the home side have too much quality and should edge this one.
