Teams’ Form And Recent Performances
Liverpool
Liverpool have been nothing short of inconsistent since the beginning of the 2025/26 Premier League season and they haven’t shown a sign of steadiness in recent matches.
The Reds visited the Molineux twice in four days for Premier League and FA Cup clashes against Wolverhampton Wanderers with the league game ending in a 2-1 defeat. Arne Slot’s side sealed a 3-1 win courtesy of Andy Robertson, Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones’ strikes in the cup competition to book their place in the quarter final where a visit to the Etihad Stadium is awaiting.
