Liverpool vs. Wolves preview, prediction, team news, and head-to-head

Arne Slot’s Liverpool enter this clash with significant momentum, having built up a formidable head of steam following consecutive victories over Tottenham and Brighton.

In stark contrast, Wolves travel to Anfield rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table, still searching for their first win of a dismal campaign.

Liverpool fans will undoubtedly demand a dominant display against a visiting Wolves side that has already shipped 37 goals this term.

The Reds are likely to control this game from start to finish, and should create plenty of chances for the in-form Hugo Ekitike, whose relentless movement and intelligence in the final third should pose a persistent threat to the Wolves' backline.

For Wolves to escape Anfield with even a point, they would require a flawless defensive performance.

However, given their inability to maintain a clean sheet in recent weeks, a stubborn rearguard action seems unlikely against Slot’s rejuvenated attack.

It’s been one-way traffic in favour of Liverpool, who have won 16 of the last 17 league meetings against Wolves.

Liverpool face significant absences with Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai unavailable, which means Curtis Jones should start in midfield.

Long-term injuries sideline Alexander Isak and Giovanni Leoni, while several others remain doubtful.

Wolves are also depleted, missing Agbadou and Chirewa due to international duty.

Rodrigo Gomes and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde lead a lengthy injury list that leaves the visitors' squad stretched for the trip to Anfield.

Liverpool (4-3-3): Mamardashvili; Kerkez, Dijk, Konaté, Bradley; Gravenberch, Allister, Jones; Wirtz, Ekitike, Chiesa

Wolves (4-4-2): Johnstone; Hoever, Mosquera, Krejcí, Bueno; Gomes, André, López, Wolfe; Hee-Chan, Larsen
