The Anfield tie will be broadcast on ITV4 with a kick-off time of 8pm on Saturday, January 7. It will also be available on ITVX.

The clash will be new head coach Julen Lopetegui's fifth in charge of Wolves – and the second in domestic cup competition after the Spaniard's Molineux opener against League Two in the EFL Cup later this month.

Wolves boast a fine recent record against Jurgen Klopp's side at this stage of the competition.

They enjoyed memorable success at Anfield in the third round in 2017 when Richard Stearman and Andi Weimann were on target to send the visitors through.

And two years later, this time at Molineux, Raul Jimenez and Ruben Neves scored to hand Nuno Espirito Santo's side the victory.

Clubs receive £85,000 each for being selected for live broadcast.
