Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is set to make changes for Monday's FA Cup tie at fellow Premier League opponents Wolves.

Midfielders Naby Keita and Adam Lallana, unused substitutes in Thursday's defeat at Manchester City, could come in while Fabinho, who played just over 30 minutes at the Etihad, is likely to start.

The two sides met in the Premier League last month with Liverpool running out 2-0 winners at Molineux thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.
