Rob Edwards joked Wolves' 2-1 win at Molineux will have made Liverpool "angry" for their FA Cup meeting on Friday evening.
The Premier League champions slipped to their ninth defeat of the campaign with what was their seventh concession in stoppage time, thanks to Andre Trindade's deflected strike after Mohamed Salah had earlier cancelled out Rodrigo Gomes's opener.
The two teams will meet again in the Black Country later this week for a place in the quarter-finals of the Cup and Edwards believes Arne Slot's men might seek to settle a score.

"It's not great for my heart, I don't think, but I could get used to it, it's a really good feeling," Edwards said.
"At nil-nil at half time, that's where we wanted to be we, we'd have loved to have been winning, but it was where we wanted, we have been growing generally in the second half of games anyway, put more pressure on them and they open up and that was how it went.
"We've probably made them quite angry now! But no, we just have to take it one a time and we did say before the Aston Villa game (on Friday night) that we want to try and win every game, we know how hard it is to do that.
"You see how good Liverpool are and we had to ride our luck at times. Things went for us tonight. But we will try and pick a team that will win a Cup game and make it exciting. Does it have to be one or the other? We want to win both.
"It's Liverpool, you seen how good they are, they were champions last year, you've got to enjoy these moments and yeah, I lost myself a bit there [celebrating late on], a 93rd-minute winner, we have to enjoy these moments."
Edwards added: "It's nice, long may the celebrations continue. It's the groin this time! It's Liverpool Football Club and any time you beat them, you've got to enjoy the moment.
"Never mind the position we are in at the moment. They're a brilliant football club with an amazing manager and lots of great players. We're trying to turn things around."
