17-year-old Rio Ngumoha starts for Liverpool in their FA Cup 5th round clash against Wolves.
The young attacker impressed during his 25-minute cameo here on Tuesday night, and has earned himself a starting spot on the left flank.
Wolves make six changes to their starting line-up as they prepare to host Liverpool for the second time this week.
In midweek, Wolves beat the Reds 2-1 thanks to a late winner from Andre to give his side just their third win all season, whilst Liverpool missed out on the chance to rise into the top four.
Before the defeat on Tuesday night, Liverpool had won all of their last four matches. They’ll be looking to return to winning ways tonight, with Slot naming a strong line-up.
For Wolves, Tolu Arokodare leading the line. The Nigerian has one goal and one assist in two appearances in this competition. He also assisted Rodrigo Gomes’ opener in the previous match.
Wolves boss Rob Edwards described tonight’s tie as “the most important game of the season.”
He said: “We’re going into the game with all intent and purpose to try and win it. Our aim is to go through and to progress as far as possible in the cup.
“We have to go into every game believing. We’ve shown more recently that we’re able to compete with anyone, so we have to believe.”
