Wolves vs. Liverpool: How to watch, date, time, live stream, TV channel

Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Liverpool to Molineux for the second time in a four-day span as they face off in round five of the FA Cup on Friday evening.

The Reds' push for UEFA Champions League qualification took a huge dent when the sides met on Tuesday evening as they were beaten 2-1 by their hosts, courtesy of an Andre strike deep into added time.

With Chelsea winning on Wednesday evening, Arne Slot's men now sit sixth in the table, although only trail the Blues on goal difference, while Rob Edward's side remain at the foot of the division.

Here, Sports Mole provides everything you need to know about how to tune into the match between Wolves and Liverpool.

What time does Wolves vs. Liverpool kick off?

The match will kick off at 8pm UK time on Friday evening and is the first cup fixture being played this weekend.

Wolves booked their place in the fifth round with a 1-0 win away to Grimsby Town, while Liverpool beat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 at Anfield.

Where is Wolves vs. Liverpool being played?

What is at stake for Wolves and Liverpool?

The winner of Friday's tie will book their place in the quarter-final stage of the competition, with ties set to be played at the beginning of April.

With the hosts all but confirmed to be playing in the Championship next season, they will no doubt want to give a good account of themselves in the FA Cup, a competition that they last won in 1960.

For that reason, it is expected that Edwards will field a full strength side with hope that the performance on Tuesday night can be replicated once more.

Despite winning the competition in 2022, Liverpool have failed to progress past the quarter-final stage in any of the previous three campaigns and were shockingly knocked out by Plymouth Argyle in the fourth round last season.

While they are still in the Champions League, the FA Cup gives Liverpool a great chance of winning silverware in a campaign that would be considered disappointing by many at the club considering last season's success.
