LFC News

Liverpool will face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup third round after the draw took place on Monday evening.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are set to travel to the Molineux on either Sunday, January 6 or Monday, January 7.

Liverpool will be looking to fare better in the FA Cup, after crashing out in the League Cup to Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea earlier this season.

Liverpool have exited the FA Cup in the fourth round in all off Jurgen Klopp’s full seasons in charge.

The Reds lost 3-2 to West Bromwich Albion last year following a 2-1 victory over Everton on Virgil van Dijk’s debut in the third round.

During Klopp’s first full term in 2016-17, the Reds also crashed out to Wolves with a 2-1 loss at Anfield against a then-Championship side.
