In the FA Cup Round of 16 on March 7, 2026, Wolverhampton Wanderers will play Liverpool. The two teams recently met at this venue in the Premier League, and the visitors are looking for revenge.
The Molineux side improved last season after a tough start, following Vítor Pereira’s appointment as manager. They eventually climbed to a comfortable sixteenth place with 42 points. Currently, they are the main underdogs, but have shown notable progress in 2026, including snatching a draw against Arsenal. After a defeat to Crystal Palace, they secured wins against Aston Villa and even once over Liverpool.
The Anfield giants, meanwhile, won the Premier League after Slot’s arrival. However, their recent good results have come mainly in the Champions League, where the playoffs will start soon. They lost to Crystal Palace first in the Super Cup, and then in the League Cup. In the Premier League, the reigning champions can at best contend for fourth place. Especially since after three consecutive wins, they failed to pick up any points against Wolverhampton.
In the cup, André and company started with a 6-1 thrashing of Shrewsbury. Against Grimsby, another modest opponent, Bueno scored the only goal. The league champions have had no problems in this tournament so far, thrashing Barnsley 4-1 and Brighton 3-0.
