    Wolves v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)

    These two teams will face each other again in two weeks' time when Liverpool travel to Molineux for the third round of the FA Cup.

    Wolves were knocked out in the third round last year when they were defeated 1-0 by West Ham. West Brom then took on Liverpool in the fourth round and knocked them out.

    Will they have better luck this year?

    Here's the third round draw in full.

  8. 'They are really strong again'published at 19:35 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2018

    Wolves v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on Wolves: "What they did last year in the Championship, I am not sure that happened too often.

    "Very often you go up with this kind of old-school British football - it's a tough league and it makes sense to do it - [but] the only two teams [in] the last few years that did it differently were Huddersfield and now Wolves, so that's unbelievable.

    "Then they brought in players again and needed a bit of time so that everything fits. Now they are really strong again, they won the last three; we have to go there and be at our best again."

    The players are out on the pitch and warming up at Molineux. Most of the supporters are still in the pub by the looks of it. I don't blame them, nobody wants to be stood outside when it's this cold! Expect the stadium to fill up nicely before kick-off though.

    Sulaimon Adelekan: Fabinho has finally settled in England and he has cemented his place in Liverpool's XI. He is such a versatile player and the Kop will see the best of him in the coming season.

    Ar vind: A tough wolves team and the #LovrenCurse makes me think our unbeaten run might end today.

  15. Wolves legend Slater dies aged 91published at 19:19 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2018

    Wolves v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)

    Earlier this week, former Wolves captain Bill Slater died at the age of 91, after suffering with Alzheimer's disease and illness.

    Slater won three league titles in the 1950s, the club's most successful period, and also lifted the FA Cup after leading the side to a 3-0 win over Blackburn at Wembley in 1960.

    Slater earned 12 England caps and remains the last amateur to play in an FA Cup final - for Blackpool in 1951.

    He was also the only part-time player to be named Footballer of the Year.

  20. David vs Goliathpublished at 19:10 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2018

    Wolves v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)

    Liverpool may be flying at the peak but Wolves know how to burst the bubble of the top six.

    Their form against the big guns has been very impressive so far this season and their comeback win over Chelsea at Molineux earlier this month was the best of the lot.

    But they have also picked up draws with champions Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United.

    Can they spoil Jurgen Klopp's Christmas party?
