Same again from Wolves? Wolves vs Liverpool, Friday, kick-off 8pm
After putting the Premier League champions to the sword to mark Wolves’ resurgence, Rob Edwards’ side have the chance to down Liverpool once again in a rematch, just four days later, this time in the FA Cup.
In isolation, Wolves’ display in their 2-1 win over Liverpool on Tuesday offered the Molineux crowd something to shout about, however, it’s part of a wider run of form that has led to suggestions the once-certainly doomed Old Gold can pull off a miracle to remain in the Premier League.

Wolves have lost just one of their last five matches and are on a recent run that includes a win over Aston Villa and a draw against league leaders Arsenal. All of a sudden, the Molineux is a tough place to go for any opponent.
With so little fixtures remaining in the Premier League, Wolves’ survival is perhaps a little too far-fetched; however, the FA Cup remains a real opportunity for Wolves.
They’re not going down without a fight but if they can harness their ability to topple the league’s top five and apply that in the cup, there might be something memorable to take from this forgettable Wolves campaign.William Bitibiri

Myles Lewis-Skelly is suspended having been booked twice in the previous rounds but could fellow academy graduate Max Dowman, fit again following injury, provide a reminder of his thrilling quality ahead of the run-in?
