Wolves boss Rob Edwards might need been pondering his backside-of-the-desk Premier League aspect have an opportunity of ‘the good escape’ after they beat Liverpool on Tuesday.
So, seeing two of the three groups instantly above them, West Ham and Nottingham Forest, choose up factors on Wednesday was a disgrace for Wolves, simply after they had given themselves that little little bit of hope.
Still, their current outcomes and performances have been a lot improved. Edwards has given Wolves followers one thing to smile about, and he’ll wish to preserve that positivity right here.
This is a giant recreation for Liverpool boss Arne Slot, too.
The FA Cup might be vital for him this season, so he can not simply concentrate on Tuesday’s final-16 journey to Galatasaray within the Champions League.
After three successive Premier League wins, Tuesday’s loss was one other stumble for Slot’s aspect within the race for the highest 4.
They had been lucky Manchester United and Aston Villa misplaced as effectively, however Chelsea’s win at Villa meant the Reds are outdoors the highest 5 now too.
With the warmth that’s round him, I do not suppose Slot is ready the place he can afford to play a weakened aspect right here – he has to go sturdy to attempt to keep away from one other shock outcome.
I nonetheless suppose we’ll see one other shock, although.
Wolves are going to throw all the pieces at Liverpool. They are nonetheless happening, however can they make it to Wembley too?
Sutton’s prediction: 2-1
Steven’s prediction: A few weeks in the past, I’d have stated it’s apparent what will occur right here. Now, it is not. 2-2 after additional time, Liverpool win on penalties
AI’s prediction: 1-3
