The fourth official indicates five minutes of added time will be played for stoppages.

66'
Hwang Hee-Chan has scored a goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers!
WOLVES HAVE THE EQUALISER! 2-2! Konate’s clearance is not good enough as Collins is allowed to head it back into Liverpool’s half with Wolves retaining possession. Hwang receives the ball on the edge of the 18-yard box and plays a neat one-two pass with Cunha before tucking the ball under Alisson’s arm and in with a little bit of fortune!
65'
Gakpo goes down during a race with Jonny for the loose ball on the edge of Wolves’ penalty area. The home supporters call for a foul and a potential second yellow card for the full-back, but the referee is more than happy to allow play to continue.

59'
Liverpool’s lovely build-up goes unrewarded after Nunez displays fast feet to beat Lembikisa, before a clever one-two move with Robertson gets the striker near the byline. The Uruguay international sidefoots a cross towards the edge of the six-yard box but two defenders marking Salah manage to scramble it away.
56'
Alexander-Arnold's outswinging corner finds the head of a leaping Nunez, who directs his effort up and over the crossbar from close range.
54'
There was a check for a possible offside in the build-up to the goal, but Gomes’ header backwards meant Salah was in a legal position - meaning the strike stands! Wolves have it all to do now after having their lead overturned.
52'
Mohamed Salah has scored a goal for Liverpool!
SALAH GIVES LIVERPOOL THE LEAD! 2-1! Gakpo rides a challenge in midfield and plays a lovely pass over the top for Salah, which takes a touch off Gomes' head before falling kindly to the Egypt international. He takes a touch to set himself before turning on the ball, firing a powerful left-footed volley past Sarkic!
48'
Henderson whips a cross towards the edge of the penalty area for Gakpo but again Collins gets into a good position to clear the ball away.

The fourth official indicates three minutes will be added to the end of the half for stoppages.
45'
D. Núñez has scored a goal for Liverpool! Assist by T. Alexander-Arnold.
A GREAT GOAL EQUALISES THE GAME! 1-1! It’s a delightful ball from Alexander-Arnold, who clips a cross to the far post from a position deep in midfield. The delivery evades both Lembikisa and Collins before falling right onto the foot of Nunez, whose first-time finish wrong-foots the goalkeeper!
Alexander-Arnold shows his range of passing to pick up yet another assist for a Liverpool goal.
44'
Alisson is again shakey with his feet, putting it directly out of play for a Wolves throw-in inside Liverpool's half. It hasn't been a great 45 minutes for the Brazil international goalkeeper, though his side are still firmly in the contest.
42'
Guedes cuts inside from the left but Alexander-Arnold displays good defensive awareness, poking the ball away from the forward before preventing Ait-Nouri from getting onto it.
38'
Nunez is marked extremely tightly by Gomes, who forces the striker wide before steering him out of bounds for a Wolves throw deep in their own half.
36'
Guedes has a speculative shot from a long way out but manages to hit the target, forcing Alisson across his line to punch it away.
35'
Ait-Nouri is again tasked with taking the Wolves corner, but he fails to beat the first man as Robertson is not put under any pressure as he volleys it away from his goal.
33'
Alexander-Arnold's long throw almost puts Wolves in danger as Nunez is allowed to latch onto the delivery but Collins manages to clear the eventual cross - at least temporarily - by putting it out for another throw-in.
31'
Short of options, Alexander-Arnold chips a pass to the byline for Henderson, whose volleyed cross sails high, wide and immediately behind the net for a goal-kick.
29'

28'
Liverpool are given the chance to equalise from a free-kick 30 yards from goal, after Neves charges through the back of Nunez.
26'
Gonçalo Guedes has scored a goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers!
WOLVES TAKE THE LEAD! 1-0! It’s a comical goal to concede for Alisson, who takes his time passing it out, only to put it right into the path of Guedes. The Portugal international immediately fires it underneath the goalkeeper from 10 yards out to take full advantage of the gift and give his side the lead!
25'
Neves executes a lovely switch of play to the right for Traore, who immediately puts the ball into the penalty area for Jimenez. The striker almost turns it home but good defending from Matip saves a goal.
23'
Alexander-Arnold takes an outswinging corner for Liverpool looking for Konate but Gomes beats his opponent to the ball.
21'
Good news for Wolves as Neves comes back onto the pitch to try and run off the earlier ankle injury, as Ait-Nouri wins a free-kick from an overzealous Henderson.
20'
Play is stopped for Neves, who remains down on the pitch receiving treatment after an awkward tackle from Nunez. The Portugal international is deep in conversation with the medical staff, while the coaches on the touchline await word of the situation.
19'
Salah cuts inside from the right in trademark fashion and looks to have a shot which deflects off Neves, taking it up into the air. Nunez attempts an audacious overhead kick, but it's Collins who gets to the ball first to clear it away.

A Matip mistake inside his own penalty area almost allows Guedes to steal possession eight yards from goal, but the forward sends it beyond the byline during his attempt to win back the ball.
13'
Thiago again looks down the left for the run of Gakpo, but the midfielder's accuracy is lacking as he sends it out for a Wolves throw deep in the visitors' half.
11'
Gakpo gets free down the left wing and teases a cross into the penalty area for the run of Nunez, but Collins is first on the scene to make a leaping clearance.
9'
Liverpool are not under immediate threat when in possession, with Wolves allowing their opponents to dominate the ball in midfield. Instead of pressing, the visitors are happy to drop back into their shell and wait for a mistake before hitting on the counter.
7'
Ait-Nouri takes Wolves' first corner of the match but he puts it well over the head of any team-mate, allowing Alexander-Arnold to gather on the far side.
5'
Gakpo has his first shot in a Liverpool kit, receiving Salah's pass to put himself wide before firing a low effort that's gathered by Sarkic.
3'
A foul on Salah just outside the penalty area gives Liverpool a chance to test Sarkic for the first time today from a set-piece.

Liverpool get the match under way from the kick-off!
Hello and welcome to our LIVE commentary of the FA Cup third-round fixture between Liverpool and Wolves!
LIVERPOOL SUBS: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ben Doak, Joe Gomez, Naby Keita, Nathaniel Phillips, Caoimhin Kelleher, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Fabio Carvalho, Harvey Elliott.
With 15 minutes to go before kick-off, let’s take a look at how the sides are lining up - starting with our hosts!
Reigning champions Liverpool start their defence of the FA Cup at home against Premier League opposition, with Wolves visiting Anfield. Jurgen Klopp’s side won the competition for the eighth time in their history last year but they’ll need to perform better than in their last match should they wish to proceed past the third round, after losing 3-1 to Brentford in the Premier League five days ago.
Wolves have been handed a tough first test in the FA Cup, made to travel to Liverpool in Julen Lopetegui’s first match in the competition. Having not lifted the trophy since 1959-60, the visitors will need to find something special.
LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konate, Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold; Thiago Alcantara, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson; Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah.
WOLVES SUBS: Yerson Mosquera, Max Kilman, Matheus Cunha, Matheus, Jose Sa, Nelson Semedo, Connor Ronan, Hwang Hee-chan, Hugo Bueno.
WOLVES XI (4-4-2): Matija Sarkic; Dexter Lembikisa, Nathan Collins, Tote Gomes, Jonny; Adama Traore, Ruben Neves, Joseph Hodge, Rayan Ait-Nouri; Raul Jimenez, Goncalo Guedes.
Liverpool have dominated the flow of the match but they’ll have to do better with creating clear-cut chances for their forwards, with Sarkic not tested nearly enough despite all the firepower on display. Wolves will be looking to keep the score level and the match tight by continuing to deny their opponents space before breaking forward on the counter-attack through the pace of Traore and Guedes.
That concludes our commentary of the FA Cup third-round fixture between Liverpool and Wolves! We hope you’ve enjoyed it!
Liverpool feature again next Saturday, when they travel to play Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League. Wolves take on Nottingham Forest on Wednesday in the EFL Cup.
