The flag immediately went up and protests erupted from the visiting bench as to why the goal had been disallowed. Kick-off is at 3 pm on Saturday, 14 January.

Man City are closing in on their first January signing after Fabrizio Romano revealed Pep Guardiola has received a reference from a former Liverpool star.

Still, City want to ensure they have a strong squad for the present and the future. The deal could be worth a transfer fee in the region of £6.6million. Guardiola’s side have been on the trail of Velez Sarsfield starlet, Maximo Perrone. January isn’t always the busiest month for the biggest clubs, who already have settled squads. Romano has previously reported that City have a first-team role in mind for him, and will not be loaning him out to one of their sister clubs. The midfielder was also on the radar of Newcastle, but City seem to have pulled into pole position.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he thought Wolves' controversially disallowed winner was a goal during Saturday's FA Cup clash.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui was outraged by the decision, though corner taker Matheus Nunes was said to be offside when the ball landed at his feet after Liverpool cleared. It was the player in the left corner who might have been offside. Wolves defender Toti Gomes thought he had clinched victory after finding the net with a backheel but it was ruled out when Matheus Nunes was deemed to be offside.

At Anfield, a difficult week for Liverpool that started with a Premier League loss at Brentford, concluded with a fortuitous 2-2 draw against Wolves.

The decision is wrong,” he said. “We have seen it, the offside doesn’t exist, I’m sorry. “It’s a great chapter in the story of Wrexham since the new owners have come in and I’m sure they will be overjoyed with what they’ve seen today,” Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson said.
