In action: Mohamed Salah for Liverpool against Wolves
Wolves host the reigning champions in the first of two meetings in four days, with the sides set to reconvene in the FA Cup fifth round on Friday. Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool go into this game as favorites, aiming to strengthen their grip on a Champions League spot, while Wolves, sitting near the bottom, are desperate to arrest a troubling campaign and avoid relegation to the Championship. Rob Edwards has finally begun to see signs of a renewed fight from his side, even as the points tally remains challenging.
Wolves’ recent shock 2-0 victory over Midlands rivals Aston Villa—only their second league win of the season—was a timely reminder that the team can compete at the highest level. It followed a dramatic late comeback against Arsenal in another competition, illustrating that the squad has fight left. Edwards makes four changes for this match, including Angel Gomes, who earns a start.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have revived their form in the race for a top-four finish, winning six of their last seven across all competitions to rise to fifth and three points off the top four. Arne Slot responds by bringing in Jeremie Frimpong for this clash.
