Wolves host Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth round days after a league upset, with the visitors seeking an immediate response at Molineux.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are priced at 6.00 to repeat their midweek league victory, while Liverpool are strong favourites at 1.39.
The draw sits at 4.70. BTTS Yes is valued at 1.70, reflecting Wolves’ recent scoring run and Liverpool’s attacking depth, though the visitors’ superior squad quality explains the short odds.
Form and context
The sides meet for the second time in four days after Wolves secured a 2-1 Premier League win earlier this week. A stoppage-time goal from André sealed a rare moment of momentum for the hosts and delivered their first back-to-back victories since April 2025.
Despite that result, Wolves’ league campaign remains difficult. They have spent most of the season at the bottom of the table and trail safety by double digits with limited matches remaining.
Their cup performances, however, have offered a contrast. Wolves defeated Shrewsbury Town 6-1 in the third round before a narrow 1-0 win over Grimsby Town to reach the fifth round.
Liverpool approach the tie with more stable form overall but inconsistent league results. Arne Slot’s side currently sit fifth in the Premier League standings and remain in contention for Champions League qualification.
Their FA Cup campaign has been straightforward so far, with a 4-1 win over Barnsley followed by a 3-0 victory against Brighton.
Liverpool also held a strong historical advantage in this fixture prior to Tuesday’s result, having won the previous six meetings between the clubs.

Team news
Wolves appear close to full strength. Sam Johnstone, who started both FA Cup matches this season, is expected to return in goal. The rest of the side that defeated Liverpool in midweek could remain unchanged.
Liverpool continue to manage several injuries. Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Florian Wirtz, Stefan Bajcetic, Wataru Endo and Alexander Isak remain unavailable.
Slot may rotate in response to the recent defeat, with Andrew Robertson, Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones and Rio Ngumoha pushing for starts.

The takeaway
Wolves’ recent win introduces uncertainty into a tie Liverpool were expected to control. If the visitors reassert possession and attacking pressure early, their quality should restore balance in the contest.
