Liverpool will commence their defence of the FA Cup at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Reds have been drawn against the Premier League's lowest-ranked side, who have only recorded two wins all season and sacked former manager Bruno Lage in October with the club rooted to the bottom of the table.
The Midlands outfit will make the trip to Anfield between January 6 and 9, with the tie sandwiching the Reds' league fixtures against Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion, respectively.

Former Spain, Real Madrid and Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui, who won the 2021 Europa League, will take the reins for the visit to Merseyside after being appointed as Lage's successor earlier this month. However, is yet to take charge of a competitive game.
Liverpool faced their Premier League counterparts in the FA Cup as recently as 2017 and 2019, with Wolves getting the better of Jurgen Klopp's men on both occasions.
Having claimed a domestic cup double last season as they beat Chelsea on penalties in both the League Cup and FA Cup final, Liverpool are preparing to head to Dubai for a mid-season training camp in December, where they will face Lyon and AC Milan.
The eight-time winners are next in competitive action on December 22, when they journey to Manchester City in the League Cup fourth round, they will then resume their Premier League duties with a trip to Villa Park to face Aston Villa on Boxing Day.
The date and time of all FA Cup third round ties will be confirmed in due course.
