Holders Liverpool tonight begin their defence of the FA Cup against Premier League rivals Wolves.

After a slow start to the season, the competition is fast becoming the Reds’ best hope of silverware this season after a demoralising defeat against Brentford in the Premier League.

Wolves, meanwhile, have knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup in their last two meetings and have won the competition four times in their history.
