Liverpool will face Wolves for the second time in three days tonight, with the opportunity to exact instant revenge. The Reds travel to Molineux in the fifth round of the FA Cup after losing 2-1 to a 94th-minute Andre goal in the Premier League at the same venue on Tuesday. This result ended Arne Slot’s team’s four-game winning streak in all competitions.
They will be desperate to win again this evening. Slot will be tempted to name the exact same lineup as the league’s losing team. However, with four major matches remaining this month and Florian Wirtz the only player projected to return from injury for any of them, some rotation is required. Express Sport suggests four changes the Dutchman should make in Wolverhampton.

Ibrahima Konate was actually one of Liverpool’s finest players in 2026. He was somewhat responsible for Wolves’ first goal earlier this week, but the Frenchman has had some standout displays this year. However, the Reds should rest Konate here.
He will need to start Liverpool’s next four games, which include home and away Champions League meetings against Galatasaray, as well as Premier League games against Tottenham and Brighton. This game gives an opportunity to bring Joe Gomez into the starting lineup at centre-half. The Englishman has made only ten starts this season and deserves an 11th here. In addition, Gomez can provide a long-throw threat if necessary.
Andy Robertson, another experienced veteran, should join the team. Kerkez, like Konate, is expected to start all four of Liverpool’s next four games, after spending the majority of the season as a substitute. He is due a start, and his last two have both resulted in clean sheets.
