Liverpool - Wolves (22:00, Sport1)
Jurgen Klopp's team returned from the World Cup with two consecutive victories and the fourth place in the league felt within reach again, but then Liverpool was embarrassed 3:1 by Brentford.
In the same game, the defender Virgil van Dijk was also injured and will be absent for over a month, and despite the long list of injured and the danger of additional injuries, Klopp came up with a particularly strong team against the bottom team from the Premier League.
The one who will make his debut in the Mighty Reds uniform is the acquired midfielder Kofi Gakpo who has been training with the team in recent days alongside Mohamed Salah and Darvin Nunes.
By the way, the last time Liverpool was eliminated from the cup already in the third round was in the 2018/19 season, when they lost 2:1 to Wolves in an away game.
They have not yet met in the league this season.
In the press conference before the game, Klopp said about Van Dijk's injury: "It's a big blow. He didn't feel it that much, but I replaced him at halftime anyway. It was one sprint too many. He was tested after the game and the results were bad - he'll be out for a few weeks , over a month, and we will hope that he will return soon. He will not be able to play right now, but we will use him off the field."

Sheffield Wednesday - Newcastle (20:00, Sport4)
The third-ranked in the Premier League did not win in its last two games in the league, twice finishing 0:0 at home against Leeds and away against the leader of the table Arsenal, and hopes to get back on track at the expense of the runner-up in the first league.
Newcastle lost to Sheffield in their last meeting in April 2017 in the Championship, but since then, as we know, a lot has changed and the Magpies should win on their way to the fourth round - which they have not qualified for since 2019/20.
