"We're all dreaming" - Wolves' Rob Edwards believes in another special FA Cup run

Rob Edwards wants everyone at Wolves to believe they can repeat success over Liverpool as they dream of a special FA Cup run.

It was a night to remember at Molineux on Tuesday, as Andre's 94th minute strike sealed bottom-placed Wolves a huge Premier League win over reigning champions Liverpool.

It was a match in which Wolves dug deep and held their own against underwhelming opposition and they now have the unusual task of taking on the very same opponents just four days later.

With a place in the quarter-finals up for grabs in this fifth round tie, Wolves are just two wins away from a trip to Wembley in what would be a major highlight an otherwise dire season, and Edwards has urged fans to dream of that success and believe in his side.

The head coach said: "There is (an opportunity). We're all dreaming about that but we also realise what we've got to do and we've got to work extremely hard and earn it.

"The fans have to dream, they've got to come and bring the noise, which they will do. I know they will do now.

"We've got to try and give them something to really get behind and shout about, but we have to believe."

Jose Sa is set to be rested due to an ongoing ankle issue, while matchwinner Andre is suspended, but Wolves are otherwise at full strength.

The likes of Hugo Bueno, Yerson Mosquera and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are likely to be recalled, after Edwards made four changes on Tuesday following the win over Villa.

The head coach was keen to stress that he expects Liverpool to be better this time around, but that it is Wolves' job to replicate the standards we saw last time out.

"Of course they are," Edwards said when asked if the fans are allowed to dream of going deep in the FA Cup.

"We're going into the game with the intent to try and win it. Our aim is to go through and to progress as far as possible in the cup. 

"We know the scale of the challenge. we know how good Liverpool are and that's me always trying to be very respectful of the opposition, but especially this opposition. 

"They've got an amazing manager who's won things and then obviously players that are all used to winning the biggest of titles, but we have to go into the game believing and I want the fans to as well."

Edwards added: "We have to go into every game believing, and I think we've shown more recently that we're able to compete with anyone.

"We have to believe. We know the scale of the task and we completely respect how good they are and know they'll want to prove that they're better and they'll want to win the game after what happened on Tuesday night.

"We've got to try and make them relive it."

If Wolves fail to beat Liverpool, they will have just under four weeks off following the Brentford game on March 16, as they do not play again until April 10 when they travel to West Ham.

Wolves have eight Premier League matches remaining and sit 12 bottom of the table with a 12-point gap to safety, although they have a much worse goal difference than the teams around them.
