Read 11 pre-match stats ahead of Liverpool's trip to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Emirates FA Cup.

The Reds return to Molineux to take on Rob Edwards' side in the fifth round of the competition on Friday (8pm GMT kick-off).

Ahead of the fixture, club statistician Ged Rea has provided the following facts and figures to know…

This match is Liverpool's 457th game in the FA Cup in total to date. They have won 245 of those ties, with 115 losses.

Liverpool have scored in all eight FA Cup meetings against Wolves since the first fixture in 1896.

The Reds' top-flight defeat at Molineux in midweek was just the second in their last 17 clashes with Wolves in league and cup.

Wolves will be trying to record back-to-back wins over the Reds for the first time since 1980.

However, Liverpool have never lost consecutive matches that were (a) both against the same opponent and (b) both played on their opponent's ground.

The Reds have scored in each of their 12 outings since a 0-0 draw at Arsenal in early January, their longest sequence of the season so far.

In Liverpool's games this season, 43 goals have been scored in total from the 76th minute onwards, with the Reds scoring 24 of those.

The Reds have been involved in four penalty shootouts in FA Cup history so far, winning all four. They have won 20 of 29 in all competitions.

Dominik Szoboszlai could become the first Liverpool player to score in three successive rounds of the FA Cup since Luis Suarez in 2012. He could also be the first for 25 years to score in each of the third, fourth and fifth rounds in the same season - with Emile Heskey in 2001 the last.

Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones, meanwhile, will add themselves to the list of 16 players who have scored for the club on all seven days of the week if they find the net in this game.

Cody Gakpo's next goal will see him become the 58th player to score 50 times for Liverpool in all competitions and the second Dutchman to do so after Dirk Kuyt.
