For love of the Reds, Wolverhampton star wants to play for Liverpool after the FA Cup

It is worth remembering that these teams faced each other on 7 January at Anfield where the tie remained even after 90 minutes, ending 2-2, and so they will play this play-off match. The winner will advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup and will be away to Brighton on Sunday 29 January.

It seems that the arrival of Julen Lopetegui is slowly beginning to change the face of Wolves, as last weekend's home win has lifted them momentarily out of the Premier League relegation places. Wolverhampton were knocked out of the Carabao Cup last Wednesday and will be looking to avoid a repeat elimination in less than a week to give confidence to the new manager's new project. While it looks like the Reds are starting to falter and Jürgen Klopp's project could be on hold as they have not been able to get good results in recent months.

That includes the drubbing they received at the hands of Brighton last Saturday and they are also winless this season after three games. Wolverhampton have now gone seven games in a row without a win, with the last time it happened also in the FA Cup, but in 2019 by a 2-1 scoreline.

<strong>Rúben Neves to wear the red shirt</strong>

Speaking about Liverpool's transfer plans, Alex Crook said that Ruben Neves could be the right move for Jürgen Klopp. “Ruben Neves is a player that Wolverhampton have been expecting to leave for some time and they were clearly interested in him. He has entered the last 18 months of his contract, a difficult period for any player to extend his contract or find a new team. I fully understand why Liverpool are chasing him, but I don't see this transfer happening at the moment, maybe at the end of the season, after all they have said that they have spent their money so far. Finally, Jürgen Klopp has said that he has spent all his budget on Cody Gakpo, so a Neves move could be considered at the end of the season. I think he's a bit late, I don't understand how he hasn't gone to a top six team by now.”
