Wolves vs Liverpool Preview – By Joe Prince-Wright
Rob Edwards’ Wolves are still likely to be relegated, but they have back-to-back home wins over Aston Villa and Liverpool in the league and a draw at home to Arsenal before that. Despite the dramatic improvement, they are 12 points adrift of safety with eight Premier League games remaining, and the FA Cup has provided Wolves with plenty of comfort and much-needed positivity this season. They also have absolutely nothing to lose against Liverpool and will go into this game with huge confidence after an incredible win over the same opponents some 72 hours before kick-off.
Arne Slott slams Liverpool’s performance against Wolves The reigning Premier League champions are looking really inconsistent. They had won three games in a row before losing to Wolves, but their wins were unconvincing. The FA Cup is Liverpool’s lowest remaining priority as they will compete fully in the Champions League and secure a Champions League spot in the Premier League. This means Slaughter will be trying to rest a number of players in this game, although injuries mean he doesn’t have many options.
Wolves team news, focus
Enso Gonzalez is the only player out for Wolves, with Rob Edwards likely to field the same side that beat Liverpool a few days ago. Rodrigo Gomez performed well as a substitute, while Tolu Arokodare is also pushing for a starting spot. But at the moment Edwards is managing his side brilliantly as they work extremely hard to stay in the game and their energy really picked up from the 60th minute onwards when the substitutes came on.

Liverpool team news, focus
Connor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Alexander Isak are all out through injury, while Wataru Endo is out for the rest of the season and Florian Wirtz remains uncertain. Judging from Liverpool’s substitute squad for Tuesday’s loss to Wolves, Curtis Jones, Leo Ngumogha, Joe Gomez, Federico Chiesa, Andy Robertson and Georgi Mamardashvili are all likely to start in this game.
Wolves vs Liverpool Prediction
While Liverpool will be furious with their midweek defeat and want to prove a point, this game could be very close. Wolves will have nothing to fear but Liverpool may get the job done and could go into extra time and penalties. Wolves 1-2 Liverpool.
