Wolves v Coventry LIVE: FA Cup latest score and goal updates for quarter-final today

One of Wolves or Coventry will be heading to Wembley this season as the midlands rivals meet in the FA Cup quarter-finals this afternoon.

Wolves have enjoyed an excellent campaign so far in the Premier League, defying expectations in manager Gary O’Neil’s first season in charge. The cherry on the cake would be a cup run, as four-time FA Cup winners Wolves look to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2019 – where they lost to Watford in extra time.

Coventry are the lowest-ranked side left in the FA Cup, with Mark Robins’ side sitting eighth in the Championship table and one point outside the play-off spots. The Sky Blues ended Maidstone United’s dream run in the previous round and are bidding to their first FA Cup semi-final since 1987. If they do so, they would make a swift return to Wembley after losing the play-off final to Luton Town last May.

26 mins: Wolves look like they’re trying to calm it down a bit and regain some control.

They almost have a great chance as Jose Sa launches a ball long. it looks like it’s going out for a goal kick but Nelson Semedo manages to get round Kitching and keep it in play. He’s already almost next to the goal but he doesn’t have many options, so elects to just pass it into the centre of the box, but the shot is blocked.

Wolves 0-0 Coventry

20 mins: Coventry have probably been the brighter of the two sides so far, but there’s not a lot in it.

As I type that, Wolves nearly have an excellent chance. Ait-Nouri, who’s been at the centre of a lot of Wolves’ positive play, flicks a ball into the penalty area with the outside of his boot. Sarabia is chasing, but it just overruns and ends up in the hands of Collins.

13 mins: Jose Sa looks like he’s picked up an injury. He’s sitting on the ground holding his upper thigh, and Wolves look like they might take him off.

Wolves’ corner is cleared easily and Coventry look to break. Van Ewijk is carrying the ball and has options to his left and right; he doesn’t use either of them, and eventually he’s dispossessed.

No clear-cut chances yet but it’s been a lively start, with the away fans helping provide the unique cup atmosphere.
