Wolves make two changes from the XI named at Anfield. Jose Sa and Joao Moutinho come in for Matija Sarkic and Goncalo Guedes.
By contrast, Liverpool rip it up and start again. Only three players who started the original tie keep their place: Ibrahima Konate, Thiago and Cody Gakpo. In come Caoimhin Kelleher, James Milner, Joe Gomez, Kostas Tsimikas, Stefan Bajcetic, Naby Keita, Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho. For the record, it’s also eight changes from the rabble sent out for last Saturday’s debacle at Brighton, with Konate, Thiago and Gakpo once again the only three to keep their place, so whichever way you slice it, Jurgen Klopp has given everything a good old shoogle.
The teams
Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sa, Lembikisa, Collins, Toti, Jonny, Hodge, Neves, Moutinho, Traore, Jimenez, Ait-Nouri.
Subs: Sarkic, Podence, Hwang, Cunha, Semedo, Kilman, Nunes, Costa, Bueno.
Liverpool: Kelleher, Milner, Gomez, Konate, Tsimikas, Bajcetic, Thiago, Keita, Elliott, Carvalho, Gakpo.

Preamble
Wolves can barely lay a glove on Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool in the Premier League – they’ve lost the last eight meetings in a row - but in the FA Cup it’s a vastly different story. Back in 2017 they went to Anfield and did this …
… then two years later at Molineux this happened …
… and finally the other week they were a dubious offside decision away from making it three in a row …
… so can Julen Lopetegui’s rejuvenated side complete the triptych against increasingly dysfunctional opponents tonight? We’ll soon find out, even if there must be extra time and penalties. Kick off is at 7.45pm GMT. It’s on!
