Klopp's men visit the Molineux Stadium but that isn't the only interesting tie taking place during the midweek.

The weekend is over, but English football continues this midweek as several of the country's top teams prepare for action. While Manchester giants Man United and Man City will take to the field in the Premier League, facing Crystal Palace and Tottenham respectively, FA Cup matches will also headline the upcoming fixtures list.

Seven fixtures from the oldest national football competition in the world will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, with all but one of those matches being staged on the earlier date.

All of these games are third-round replays bar one (Forest Green Rovers vs Birmingham City which did not take place due to a waterlogged pitch), with three top-flight teams being involved. The eye-catching clash is the one between Liverpool and Wolves as Lopetegui's men prepare to host Klopp's struggling side following their controversial 2-2 draw at Anfield.

The other Premier League team involved in these replays is Leeds as Marsch's men look to recover from their recent slump and qualify for the fourth round of this competition. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming ties.

The FA Cup 3rd round replays to watch

Wolves vs Liverpool

Ten days after that controversial 2-2 draw at Anfield, Liverpool and Wolves are gearing up to reignite their rivalry, with the Premier League sides facing off at the Molineux Stadium. This is a replay that could have been avoided had it not been for a highly-disputed offside decision, with Lopetegui's side being denied a late winner after the goalscorer was flagged by the linesman while VAR could not find a definitive angle to award the goal. The manager was left fuming after the full-time whistle but Nunes and Co. will now have the home advantage.

The Merseyside giants, meanwhile, will have their recent 3-0 loss away to Brighton on their mind as Klopp's men look to make amends for that embarrassing defeat at the Amex. The Reds are on a two-game losing streak in the Premier League and have lost four out of their eight fixtures across all competitions lately, hence the need for a bounce-back. Nonetheless, Liverpool will likely find this to be a tricky test. Don't miss this clash.

Leeds vs Cardiff City

These two clubs played out a thrilling 2-2 draw when they last met but will we get another exciting showdown? Despite being the favorites, Leeds came close to crashing out, going 2-0 down to the Championship side by the 31st minute. However, the Peacocks mounted a valiant comeback, with goals from Rodrigo in the 65th minute and Perkins in 90+3 leading Marsch's side to a draw.

Nonetheless, Leeds remain in terrible form and have not won a competitive game since overcoming Bournemouth in late October. As for the visitors, they are without a manager following the sacking of Mark Hudson, with Dean Whitehead taking temporary charge. Additionally, the Welsh side are 21st in the Championship table and have also been struggling for form, hence the managerial change, which might just work in the hosts' favor.

Swansea vs Bristol City

And finally, we have a game between two Championship clubs as Swansea prepare to host Bristol City following their 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture. Piroe gave the Welsh club the lead in that tie but Russell Martin's side were unable to hold onto the advantage, hence the replay. Fortunately for the Swans, they enter this clash on the back of an impressive 3-1 win over Sunderland. Meanwhile, Bristol City recently beat Birmingham 4-2 in the Championship and enter this match on the back of a lovely four-game unbeaten run.
