Liverpool will be desperate to bounce back from a nightmare week when they host Wolves in Saturday’s FA Cup lunchtime tie.
Liverpool were beaten at home by Swansea City in the Premier League, despite a brace from Roberto Firmino.
During the week they were eliminated from the Capital One Cup, losing 2-0 to Southampton on aggregate.
Wolves’ good run in the league came to an end as they were beaten away at Norwich on the weekend.
The game turned on a penalty call in the second half, with goalkeeper Carl Ikeme dismissed and Wolves had used all three subs!
