Liverpool can make it 40 games unbeaten in the Premier League with a result against Wolves on Thursday night.
Jürgen Klopp’s men will close the gap to just nine games on Arsenal’s record 49 match unbeaten streak in the Premier League if they avoid defeat at the Molineux Stadium.
Jürgen Klopp and his Liverpool side have won 30 of their last 31 league games, stretching as far as last season. However Wolves can be a tricky fixture to navigate around as we’ve seen in the games against Manchester side (United and City) at the Molineux.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have lost once in 12 matches on home ground and would aim to scrap Liverpool’s impressive record in the season when the Reds make the trip to the West Midlands later on Thursday.
Team News
Liverpool
Naby Kieta, James Milner and Nathaniel Clyne continues recuperation in the injury table while Xherdan Shaqiri and Dejan Lovren faces a late fitness test to feature in Liverpool squad ahead of the game.
Fabinho is a massive boost, more so as an alternative for Liverpool as he made the substitute bench against Manchester United. Klopp might keep him out of the team, not rushing him into action for the Reds side, as they are yet to concede in the league for eight straight games.
If the need for the player (Fabinho) arises then there must be clear cut information between him and fellow midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum and Skipper Jordan Henderson.
The trio of Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino are expected to start in a 4-3-3 attacking line-up despite the fact that the former (Mane) was substituted in the Sunday’s showdown against Manchester
United as Jürgen Klopp had an eye on this fixture against the Wolves side.
Predicted line-up for Liverpool against the tough Wolverhampton Wanderers Side:
Allison; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrea Robertson; Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum, Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino.
Expert Prediction:
This should present a tough contest for both sides (Wolves and Liverpool) much like the reverse fixture which ended 1-0 at Anfield in the favour of the Liverpool side.
Wolves are exceptionally a tough Knut to crack at home and will give the Reds front three a strong test in the contest. Espirito Santo’s men could sneak a draw but Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool have been more like invincible this season.
This means they should extend their unbeaten run against the host Wolves with the slightest of margins.
Score Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Liverpool.
