Liverpool will be eager to return to winning ways when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Anfield. After a disappointing week that saw them exit the FA Cup to Championship side Plymouth Argyle and drop points in a dramatic 2-2 Merseyside Derby draw against Everton, the Reds need a response. That late equalizer at Goodison Park cost them a crucial opportunity to extend their lead at the top, but they still sit seven points ahead of Arsenal in the title race with 14 games left to play.
With Anfield set to be buzzing, fans will expect a dominant performance. Liverpool has been ruthless at home, scoring at least two goals in their last 16 games across all competitions. Under Arne Slot, they have yet to go three consecutive matches without a win, meaning a strong reaction is expected.
Wolves Face a Tough Task
Wolves will travel to Anfield with renewed confidence after securing 2-0 wins over Aston Villa in the Premier League and Blackburn in the FA Cup. However, their recent league form has been inconsistent, with four losses preceding their latest victory. This poor run has left them dangerously close to the relegation zone, just two points above safety.
History is not on the Wolves’ side, either. They have lost all seven Premier League away matches against teams sitting at the top of the table at the start of the day. Furthermore, they have struggled massively against Liverpool recently, losing 15 of their last 16 top-flight meetings (W1). If they are to cause an upset, they will need a near-perfect performance.
Key Battle: Alisson vs. João Gomes
Liverpool’s star goalkeeper Alisson has been a nightmare for Wolves, conceding only seven goals and keeping seven clean sheets in 12 Premier League meetings. His presence between the posts will be crucial again as he looks to shut down Wolves’ attacking threats.
One player who could trouble him is his fellow Brazilian, João Gomes. The midfielder found the net against Blackburn and has been a danger away from home, with eight of his last nine goals coming on the road. If Wolves are to stand a chance, they will need Gomes to step up and break Liverpool’s defensive resilience.
Hot Stat
Liverpool’s matches have been thrilling from the start, with only two of their last ten Premier League games failing to produce a goal in the opening 30 minutes. Expect a fast-paced contest with early action at Anfield.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Wolves
Despite Wolves’ recent improvements, Liverpool’s firepower at home should be too much to handle. The Reds are a different beast at Anfield, and with the title race heating up, they cannot afford any more slip-ups. Expect a strong performance from Liverpool as they look to get back on track.
