Even though the Reds will be the favourites on paper, Wolves can take comfort from their poor run of form.
Wolverhampton Wanderers will be confident of facing a misfiring Liverpool side in the third-round replay of the FA Cup on Tuesday night. Even though the Reds will be the favourites on paper, Wolves can take comfort from their poor run of form. Liverpool are winless in their last three matches across all competitions. In that period, they lost two, drew once and conceded a shocking eight goals. Besides, the match between these two sides in the FA Cup third round ended in a 2-2 draw.
If not for the VAR controversy, Wolves could have very well come out of the game with a stunning win. Despite that match being played at Anfield, Liverpool never looked to be in control, which gave plenty of confidence for then visitors. However, they had to settle for a draw in the end. Looking at the current form, Wolves will be confident of getting the job done and the momentum is on their side, thanks to their crucial win in the Premier League at the weekend.

There have been several matches that has happened between these two clubs over the years in different competitions. However, the same cannot be said for the FA Cup. These two Premier League clubs have faced each other only thrice in this competition over the years. What surprises the most is that Liverpool have not won any of them. Wolverhampton Wanderers have tasted success twice, while the other ended in a draw.
It started with Wolverhampton Wanderers upsetting Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield in 2017. A couple of years later in 2019, Wolves defeated Liverpool again by the same scoreline at the Molineux Stadium. Then earlier this month in the FA Cup third round, both sides played out a 2-2 draw at Anfield. At the end, Liverpool would have been the happier side since Wolves were denied a goal in controversial circumstances.
