Wolverhampton Wanderers - LWDLLL
Boubacar Traoré (Meniscus injury), Bastien Meupiyou (Meniscus damage), Enso González (Cruciate ligament tear) and Sasa Kalajdzic (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Wolves manager Gary O'Neil.
In our view, Wolves may well kick off with a 4-3-3 formation, handing starts to Sam Johnstone, Nelson Semedo, Craig Dawson, Toti Gomes, Rayan Ait Nouri, Mario Lemina, Andre, Joao Gomes, Matheus Cunha, J. Strand Larsen and J. Bellegarde.
Wolves will be hoping to bounce back here after a 3-1 Premier League defeat in their last game at the hands of Aston Villa.
In that game, Wolverhampton Wanderers managed 47% possession and 10 shots at goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Wolverhampton Wanderers was Matheus Cunha (25'). At the other end, Aston Villa got 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Ollie Watkins (73'), Ezri Konsa (88') and Jhon Durán (94') scored for Aston Villa.
Wolverhampton Wanderers haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, netting in one hundred percent of their last 6 matches.
They have managed to rack up 9 during that period and have conceded a total of 15. Such a trend won’t necessarily be continued here, though.
Their previous form shows that Wolverhampton Wanderers:
are winless against Liverpool in their previous 3 league matches.
haven’t won at home in the past 3 matches in the league.
Liverpool - WWLWWW
In an otherwise available squad, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Liverpool manager Arne Slot to be concerned about. Harvey Elliott (Broken foot) won’t be playing here.
We believe The Reds seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with Caoimhin Kelleher, T. Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota.
Liverpool will go into this match following on from a 5-1 EFL Cup win vs West Ham United in their last fixture.
In that game, Liverpool managed 61% possession and 21 attempts on goal with 11 of them on target. For Liverpool, the goalscorers were Jarell Quansah (21' Own goal), Diogo Jota (25', 49'), Mohamed Salah (74') and Cody Gakpo (90', 93'). On the other side, West Ham United had 12 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target.
A sequence of dependable showings by the Liverpool defensive players has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 2 from their last 6 clashes in total. During the same period of time, their forwards have scored 11.
Coming into this contest, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 4 away league matches.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Johnstone; Semedo, S. Bueno, Dawson, Ait-Nouri; Bellegarde, Lemina, Andre, Gomes, Cunha; Larsen
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota

Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-3 Liverpool
Wolves are capable of stringing together an effective attacking sequence more often than not, but the absence of Mosquera will only make the already-leaky hosts even more vulnerable at the back. Liverpool triumphed 3-1 in this fixture last season, and an identical victory this time around looks to be a genuine possibility, as the rampant Reds remain on the coat-tails of Man City at the summit.
