Wolves boss Rob Edwards might have been thinking his bottom-of-the-table Premier League side have a chance of ‘the great escape’ after they beat Liverpool on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
So, seeing two of the three teams immediately above them, West Ham and Nottingham Forest, pick up points on Wednesday was a shame for Wolves, just when they had given themselves that little bit of hope.<\/p>\n
Still, their recent results and performances have been much improved. Edwards has given Wolves fans something to smile about, and he will want to maintain that positivity here.<\/p>\n
This is a big game for Liverpool boss Arne Slot, too.<\/p>\n
The FA Cup could be important for him this season, so he cannot just focus on Tuesday’s last-16 trip to Galatasaray in the Champions League.<\/p>\n
After three successive Premier League wins, Tuesday’s loss was another stumble for Slot’s side in the race for the top four. <\/p>\n
They were fortunate Manchester United and Aston Villa lost as well, but Chelsea’s win at Villa meant the Reds are outside the top five now too.<\/p>\n
With the heat that is around him, I don’t think Slot is in a position where he can afford to play a weakened side here – he has to go strong to try to avoid another shock result.<\/p>\n
I still think we will see another surprise, though. <\/p>\n
Wolves are going to throw everything at Liverpool. They are still going down, but can they make it to Wembley too?<\/p>\n
Sutton’s prediction: <\/b>2-1<\/p>\n
Steven’s prediction:<\/b> A couple of weeks ago, I would have said it is obvious what is going to happen here. Now, it isn’t. 2-2 after extra time, Liverpool win on penalties<\/p>\n
AI’s prediction:<\/b> 1-3<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
