Wolves ensured they were on the front pages today after a dramatic 2-2 draw with Arsenal at Molineux on Wednesday night, a result that has blown the Premier League title race wide open. Arsenal let a two-goal lead slip, handing Manchester City fresh encouragement in the chase for top spot.
Liverpool will now have to deal with that same Molineux test twice in the space of a few days, with a Wolves double header locked in for early March.
The Reds first travel to the Midlands for a Premier League clash on Tuesday 3 March, with kick-off moved to 8.15 pm GMT for live television coverage in the UK. That fixture already looked significant in the context of Liverpool’s own ambitions for Champions League football; Wolves’ late show against Arsenal has only sharpened the focus.
Just three days later, Arne Slot’s side will be back at Molineux in the Emirates FA Cup fifth round after broadcast selections and kick-off times were confirmed. The cup tie will take place on Friday 6 March at 8pm GMT, live on TNT Sports.

With both games away from home and under the lights, Liverpool face a physically and mentally demanding 72 hours that could shape their month on two fronts.
The back-to-back meetings mean storylines and battles from the league encounter are likely to carry straight into the cup showdown, with rotation, recovery and tactical tweaks all under the microscope.
For Liverpool, it is a stern reminder that any slip at Molineux – in either competition – could prove costly in a season where margins are already razor thin.
