Ladislav Krejci has called on his Wolves colleagues to replicate their performance against Liverpool in Friday's match.

The Premier League's bottom club pulled off a shock 2-1 win over the Reds at Molineux on Tuesday. Rodrigo Gomes put Wolves in front with the team's first shot of the match, and Mohamed Salah ended a 10-game league goal drought to equalize, but Andre had the last word to halt Liverpool's three-match winning streak.

The two teams square off again on Friday in a fifth-round FA Cup clash at Molineux, and Krejci is encouraging his teammates to tackle the cup tie with the same vigour as they did on Tuesday.

"I hope we will go into the next game with the same mindset like this," he said. "It's a big game. Big. It's a cup game, it's a competition with a lot of history, but the sky's the limit. Let's believe, let's go into the next game like this, and you never know what could happen.

"We've been learning a lot during the last games and during the last weeks, not only from this one, but it gives us some picture of what we can maybe come with in the next game.

"But it will be much harder, because they also know our system now, so they will try to find new things where we struggle a little bit, and we need to find our own thing too, but we're very much looking forward."

On the victory over the Reds, which arrived just days after Rob Edwards' side defeated Aston Villa, Krejci said: "It's unbelievable. Two wins in a row against these big teams. Aston Villa was third when we played against them.

"Liverpool are up front of the table; they won the Premier League last season, so it was amazing for us.

"It was very important for us and for our confidence. We've shown ourselves that we can beat the top teams in the table, so it's very good for us for the upcoming games, because there's still belief there. You never know what can happen, so we will continue.

"I'm happy for everyone, for the players, for staff, for the fans, that we can have this time now after not an easy period. So, it's very positive.

"All 90 minutes, or all 97, because many times everybody remembers that we lost many games in the last minute, and now finally, it's our turn to get something from it.

"We're working very hard and waiting for these situations. This is the situation that we are in, and we know that we will not out play against everyone for 90 minutes, but with the right mentality and right job, we can wait for our moments and make this.

"It gives us a lot of confidence because many times we put in a good team effort but didn't take any points, or one point, or something like this.

"I remember Liverpool away, Arsenal away, many other games, and this gives a lot of confidence for the players, for the staff, for the fans and for the team in general, so it's a very good energy."
