Wolves will be without Tuesday's match-winner Andre Trindade as it faces Liverpool at Molineux for the second time this week.

Andre, a Brazilian international signed from Fluminense in 2024, scored the winner midweek with a deflected effort from the edge of the penalty area. But having already been booked twice in the FA Cup this season, he will be sidelined for the Liverpool rematch due to suspension.

Winger Enso Gonzalez remains sidelined with a knee injury, while Hee-Chan Hwang returned from nearly a month out to be named on the bench against Liverpool last time out and could be involved here.

"We made some changes, but that was because of knowing what was coming up," Rob Edwards said in his pre-match press conference.

"Also, we felt it was the right way to try and win the game on Tuesday night. We did that for both those reasons and it’s hard for me to prioritize either game.

"We’re really valuing this game tomorrow and this game tomorrow is now the most important game of our season, but Tuesday night was the most important game of our season at that moment.

"It was really difficult for me to not value a game against Liverpool in the Premier League, so it was about trying to pick the right team to win a game of football, and knowing that we’ve got to be really good.

"We might have to ride our luck a little bit, and maybe things go our way for what happened to happen and now we’re in a good spot now, apart from Andre suspended, where everyone’s fit and available for tomorrow night."

Liverpool will still be without at least four players — Alexander Isak, Wataru Endo, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni — but Florian Wirtz could return and play a small part off the bench.

"We always found every game we play very important and we always find every trophy we can win very important," Arne Slot said in his preview with reporters.

"So, last season we tried to win four and this season we tried to win four as well. But two are not possible anymore, the Premier League and the League Cup.

"So the other two we are in, we try to win it, as we've always tried at this club. And of course for us qualification for the Champions League is massive, as we all know.

"But that's not on the line tomorrow. Tomorrow the FA Cup is on the line and that's a massive game for us."
