Liam Keen's predicted Wolves XI for the FA Cup clash against Liverpool

Following their 2-1 win over Liverpool in midweek, Wolves will be keen for a second win in four days over the Reds.

Arne Slot's side return to Molineux after Wolves' dramatic late win and this time a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup are up for grabs.

Rob Edwards made some changes to his team last time out with the FA Cup in mind and I am predicting four changes to the starting XI again, although there are some tight calls in certain positions.

One of those tough decisions has been made for Edwards, after he already confirmed Jose Sa will be rested, meaning Sam Johnstone should come in.

Sa should have done better with Mohamed Salah's goal on Tuesday night, but he did pull off a world class save to deny Rio Ngumoha and he did well overall.

In defence, Yerson Mosquera and Hugo Bueno replacing Matt Doherty and David Moller Wolfe are expected changes.

Rodrigo Gomes is putting himself in contention to start with two goals of late, but Edwards has shown faith in Jackson Tchatchoua and I'm expecting the same.

There is also a tough decision for the left-sided centre-back. Toti Gomes did well against Villa when Ladislav Krejci was suspended, but Krejci then put in a superb display against Liverpool in midweek.

I have given Krejci the nod in my prediction, but it's a very close call.

The other change I have predicted is enforced with Andre suspended and I expect Jean-Ricner Bellegarde to replace him.

I have predicted Wolves will stick with the latest system of packing out the midfield and that would mean Angel Gomes starts, slightly further forward than he is used to.
