The two sides faced each other in the Premier League on March 3, with bottom-placed Wolves beating the Reds 2-1 to secure a shock win.

Liverpool to win

Arne Slot shocked some fans on February 14 by lining up with a strong team against Brighton in the FA Cup. After a shock loss to Wolves in the Premier League on March 3, we're expecting Liverpool to go full-strength once again when the two sides meet on Friday night.

Liverpool had the chances to beat Wolves on Tuesday night, and we're tipping Slot to learn from his mistakes and get one over on Rob Edwards and co, progressing to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in the process.

So, the first leg of our FA Cup Wolves vs Liverpool bet builder features a 'match betting' tip of the away side to win.

Both teams to score in Wolves vs Liverpool

Liverpool kept clean sheets in three of their five matches in all competitions last month, but have conceded four goals across their last two matches.

Wolves managed to put two past the Reds on Tuesday evening, and even though we're tipping Liverpool to win, we do expect the home side to score at least one.

The two sides faced off in December at Anfield, with Wolves scoring in a 2-1 loss. We are of the belief that history could end up repeating itself with the same scoreline tomorrow.

With both teams showing more fight in the second half of their Premier League clash this week, we expect that tempo to be carried on from the first minute in the FA Cup this week.

The second leg of our Wolves vs Liverpool bet builder is for both teams to score.

Ryan Gravenberch to be carded

Ryan Gravenberch had to be taken off at half time in Liverpool's loss to Wolves, not due to injury, but because he'd been carded in the first half.

The Dutchman managed to commit four fouls in just 45 minutes on Tuesday night, and that's despite usually averaging just over one foul a match in the Premier League this season.

As a result of only playing 45 minutes, we're tipping Gravenberch to start against Wolves again this weekend, coming up against Wolves' energetic midfield.

The likes of Andre and Joao Gomes really got at Gravenberch, so much so that we're tipping the Dutchman to be carded once again when the two sides meet on Friday night.

Rio Ngumoha to have a shot on target

One of the bright sparks for Liverpool this season has been the emergence of Rio Ngumoha, with the 17-year-old coming off the bench to change multiple games for the Reds this season.

We're tipping Ngumoha, who has played more minutes of late off the bench, to actually start against Wolves in the FA Cup this week. That may come as a surprise to some considering the former Chelsea youngster was not being picked from the off in the last round against Brighton.

The winger played 25 minutes in Tuesday night's game, coming off the bench to have a shot on target tipped onto the post from the goalkeeper. With a spot in the starting XI potentially on the cards, we're tipping him to test Jose Sa once again.

So, the final leg of our Wolves vs Liverpool bet builder sees a tip of Ngumoha to register at least one shot on target.
