Ten days after their last meeting, Liverpool and Wolves meet again for a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup, and Jurgen Klopp isn’t the only one missing out through injury.
If you look up the word ‘injury’ in the dictionary, you might find Liverpool’s name in the description, such is the close relationship they have developed this season.
A total of 22 Reds have missed at least one game through injury this season, and only six have avoided trouble completely so far.
Darwin Nunes is “very close” to a return but Tuesday’s cup tie may be too soon for the striker. Liverpool will not look to take risks when attacking options are few.
Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui, on the other hand, could welcome Diego Costa back into the squad after missing the last three games, while Raul Jimenez will be ready to start.
The hosts will be without Pedro Neto, Boubacar Traore, Cicinho and Sacha Kalajic through injury, in addition to their new signing Mario Lemin.
Lemina moved for £9million last week and Lopetegui wasted no time in handing the midfielder his debut from the bench against West Ham at the weekend.
However, the 29-year-old is ineligible for Tuesday night’s game as he was not registered for the first leg of the third round at Anfield.
It means the Reds may have a chance to re-acquaint themselves with the summer goal of Mateusz Nunes, who impressed from the bench in the 2-2 draw.
Although Liverpool going through a slump, Lopetegui expects a reaction from Klopp at Molineux.
Liverpool are one of the best teams in the world,” Lopetegui told reporters. “The quality of his [Klopp’s] players, the coach, his story.
“I’m sure they’ll come here and hope to have a big game. We must be ready to overcome them.
“The FA Cup will be an important goal for them – and for us too – we have to fight to beat one of the best teams in the world.”
Possible Wolves XI: Sarkik; Semedo, Collins, Totti, Ait-Nouri; Hodge, Neves, Nunes; Traore, Jimenez, Huang
