Holders Liverpool FA Cup Winner Odds Cut After Wolves Win

Liverpool See Off Wolves 1-0 at Molineux

After being held 2-2 at Anfield on January 7th, Liverpool needed a replay against Wolverhampton Wanderers to make it into the FA Cup Fourth Round.

The 8-time FA Cup winners came into the game off the back of a humiliating 3-0 defeat against Brighton in the Premier League last weekend, but managed to bounce back on Tuesday night with a 1-0 win over Wolves thanks to a Harvey Elliott screamer (watch below) – this was Liverpool’s first win in this competition over Wanderers in their last four clashes.

Bookmakers Reacted By Cutting Liverpool From 10/1 to 7/1 for 2023 FA Cup Glory

After the game, the layers quickly shifted the FA outright betting odds on Liverpool from 10/1 into 7/1 with BetUK as the Merseyside club look to defend their cup crown, but Manchester City remain the FA Cup favourites @ 5/2.

The Reds have won the FA Cup 8 times – the same as Chelsea and Spurs – so, if they do become the first side to win back-to-back FA Cups since Arsenal in 2014-15, they will move up to the third most successful side in this competition in their own right.

Next Up For Liverpool Is Another Meeting With Brighton

Brighton were waiting for the winners of Wolves or Liverpool and the Seagulls will now know it’s the Merseyside team that will be travelling to the south coast.

The last time the sides met in the FA Cup it resulted in a 6-1 Liverpool win back in 2012.

However, that was over 10 years ago and more recent form suggests Brighton won’t have too much concern and will be full of confidence of beating the Reds after seeing them off 3-0 recently in the League at the Amex Stadium.
