  • That's it from my end. Thank you for joining me. I'll see you next time. 
  • Wolves 0-1 Liverpool. Despite the home side's late pressure, Liverpool progress to the fourth round thanks to a 1-0 win. Elliot's strike in the opening 11 minutes was all Klopp's men needed to book a clash against Brighton. 

High praise for Bajetic from former Liverpool star Luis Garcia

  • Into the final five minutes, can Wolves find an equaliser? 

Something to cheer you up Wolves fans. The club has announced the signing of Sarabia from PSG. 

  • Triple change for Liverpool. Fabio Carvalho, James Milner and Cody Gakpo are all off for Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah.
  • By the way, something bizarre happened in the opening half of the game as light went off in the stadium. You can watch the incident below. NEPA sorry PHCN must be proud. 
  • There is activity on Liverpool's bench and it is Mohamed Salah who is about to come on. Wolves be afraid
  • We are back underway for the second half. 
  • No love for Adama Traore who has more baby lotion than shots on goal in this match. It has been a disappointing night from the Malian sorry Spaniard. Don't blame me, I'm just as confused as the man
  • No surprises here. Wolves are now priced at 11+ odds to win the game while Liverpool are backed at 1.32 to go on to win it. 

Half-time- Wolves 0-1 Liverpool. Thank God, the half is over. Liverpool are currently in the driving seat, courtesy of Elliot's strike.  

  • Honestly, aside from the goal, it has been a boring game, and this is coming from someone who has seen There Will Be Blood. 
  • To my white paper gang, this is the latest odds on the game. Liverpool are backed at 1.90 to score the second goal while Wolves are priced at 2.25. 
  • Liverpool's new signing Cody Gakpo is on the pitch by the way, but aside from two wayward shots, it has been a quiet night for him so far. 
  •  In case you want to know how special Elliot's goal was, you can watch the beauty below. Stunning Stunning strike Lionel Messi would be proud of. 
  • Safe to say Liverpool fans enjoyed Elliot's goal. It was a great strike, I'll admit.
  • Goal. Wolves 0-1 Liverpool. Harvey Elliot's stunning strike from outside the box has put the away side ahead. Just the start Liverpool wanted. 
  • A friendly reminder that the winner of this tie will face Brighton in the fourth round. 
  • We are underway at the Molineux. By the way, you can give us your predictions for the games on our social media pages. Twitter- @PulsesportsNG or Facebook: Pulse Sports Nigeria.
  • Meanwhile, Wolves have found resurgence under Lopetegui after Bruno Lage was sacked. I know you are also probably thinking maybe Liverpool should take the same approach, but that will not happen. Klopp is staying. 
  • It has been a disappointing season for the Reds after the remarkable campaign they had last year. The Reds are currently ten points off the Champions League spot in the Premier League. The FA Cup and the Champions League is their only realistic chance of winning a silverware. 
  • Liverpool could count themselves lucky to be in this replay after Wolves were denied a legitimate winner when the two sides played a 3-3 draw in the original fixture at Anfield.
