THE LOWDOWN
WOLVES
- Julen Lopetegui has immediately improved Wolverhampton Wanderers and they are a side that look unlikely to go down now they have added a bit more defensive competence and attacking strategy to an already impressive squad. They have also done some good business in the transfer window with the arrivals of Dan Bentley, Craig Dawson, Mario Lemina, Joao Gomes and Matheus Cunha.
- Pedro Neto and Boubacar Traore are making good progress in their recoveries but are not ready to return just yet, as is the case with Chiquinho and Sasa Kalajdzic.
LIVERPOOL
- It has been a really difficult campaign for a stagnating Liverpool side that were ever so close to the quadruple last season but defeat to Brighton in the FA Cup last week, in their most recent outing, means their only realistic chance of silverware is in the European Cup whereby they meet their conquerors from last season’s final, Real Madrid, in the second round.
- Jurgen Klopp is short of centre-backs right now with the news of Ibrahima Konate’s absence meaning that Joe Gomez is likely to partner Joel Matip, but Virgil van Dijk is nearing a return at least.

THE PREDICTION
This match was played a few weeks ago in the FA Cup. A 2-2 draw at Anfield, in which Wolves were unfortunate not to win, was followed by a 1-0 win by The Reds at Molineux, settled by an impressive Harvey Elliott strike. Wolves look a coherent side since Lopetegui’s appointment and will continue to improve as the former Spain and Sevilla coach implements his very solid defensive approach. Liverpool have lacked fluency and intricacy throughout the campaign and have generally looked flatter, both with and without the ball. Given those circumstances, this is unlikely to be an overly entertaining match for the neutral.
TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
