This game will take place on Friday, March 6, at Molineux, with a kick-off time of 8pm.VAR implementation: For this fifth-round encounter, VAR will be in full operation to assist the on-field officials with clear and obvious errors.

If a keeper exceeds this limit, the referee will award a corner kick to the opposition rather than the traditional indirect free-kick, with officials providing a visible hand-signal countdown for the final five seconds.UK television and streaming: The match will be broadcast live in the United Kingdom on TNT Sports 1 and BBC One, with coverage beginning well before the 8pm kick-off.

Wolves enter the game with high morale following their 2-1 league win over the Reds on Tuesday, though both managers may rotate their squads slightly given the quick four-day turnaround.READ MORE ABOUT THE FA CUP HERE: Wolves boss Rob Edwards makes 'angry' Liverpool point before FA Cup rematchWatch Liverpool vs Qarabag on TNT SportsThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
