Liverpool travel to Molineux tonight, aiming to secure their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals and respond to a frustrating league defeat against the same opposition.
The Reds have moved into the final stages of the competition following dominant wins over Barnsley and Brighton. Manager Arne Slot oversaw a disappointing 2–1 loss on Tuesday and is now looking for his side to rediscover the clinical edge that saw them win the Premier League title last season. Notably, Liverpool have scored in all eight of their previous FA Cup meetings with Wolves, a record stretching back to 1896.
Arne Slot manages a squad bolstered by a significant creative return but missing several long-term senior figures. Notably, Florian Wirtz has returned to team training and is back in contention, though he is expected to start on the bench to manage his recovery. Consequently, Dominik Szoboszlai is poised to continue in the number 10 role. Notably, Szoboszlai could become the first Liverpool player since 2012 to score in three successive FA Cup rounds. Rio Ngumoha is pushing for a first senior start after an impressive cameo earlier this week.
Alisson Becker will likely start in goal, though Giorgi Mamardashvili remains a potential alternative if rotation is prioritised. In midfield, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister are expected to continue their partnership. Mohamed Salah will lead the attack as he looks for his 10th goal involvement in the competition. Notably, Liverpool have been involved in four penalty shootouts in FA Cup history and have won all four. With the quarter-finals just one win away, Slot’s men will be desperate to avoid another late slip-up at Molineux.
Liverpool Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Jones, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Ngumoha; Ekitike
The FA Cup fixture takes place at Molineux Stadium on Friday, 6 March 2026. Kick-off is scheduled for 20:00 GMT.
