Liverpool will play Wolves in the FA Cup third round.

Jurgen Klopp’s side will take on Premier League opposition with the tie due to be played across the weekend of January 4-7.

Liverpool have failed to progress beyond the fourth round of the FA Cup since Klopp took charge at Anfield.

West Ham United, Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion have dumped the Reds out at that stage of the competition across the last three seasons.

However, they enjoyed a rare high point before their habitual early exit last time out, claiming a dramatic 2-1 win over rivals Everton in the third round.
