Player to Watch for Liverpool: Dirk Kuyt

Liverpool beat Manchester United in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday thanks to forward Dirk Kuyt's 88th-minute goal.

Kuyt plays the game very hard and gives full effort each match. His energy and attacking talent will be crucial to the Reds' chances of avoiding an upset and taking all three points from Wolverhampton on the road.

Kuyt is one player that Wolves must mark at all times on Tuesday in the defensive third.

Player to Watch for Wolverhampton: Steven Fletcher

Wolverhampton star Steven Fletcher leads the club with nine league goals this season, and he's a player Liverpool must mark closely on Tuesday if they want to secure all three points.

The 24-year-old forward has an accurate shot and is very dangerous when he runs at defenders with the ball. If Wolves want to earn a positive result against a talented Liverpool club, Fletcher has to play well in the attacking third.

Key Matchup: Wolves Forwards vs. Liverpool Defense

The battle in front of Liverpool's goal will be crucial in this match because the Reds have one of the best defensive records in the Premier League.

The Reds have allowed just 21 goals in the league this season, the second fewest of any club. If Wolverhampton want to win this match, they need to score the first goal and plant a seed of doubt in the minds of the Liverpool defense.

What They're Saying

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish talked about his team's fantastic win against Manchester United on Saturday, via USA Today.

"

"It's a fantastic credit to the players and how much pride they take in the club that they've got themselves back on track," said Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish, who criticized his team for a sloppy 3-1 league defeat to Bolton last weekend. "They've come out on the right side of two huge cup games."

Prediction: Liverpool 3, Wolverhampton 0

Liverpool has too much attacking talent to be stopped in this match, and as long as captain Steven Gerrard keeps improving his fitness levels, the Reds will be tough to beat moving forward.

Wolves have allowed 40 goals this season in league play, the fourth most of any club in the top flight. With Liverpool's plethora of attacking talent, it would be shocking if the Reds did not score two or more times.

The Reds' strong defensive play will carry them to an important victory on Tuesday away from home.
