📋 Team News: Liverpool

Tyler Morton (Shoulder injury) and Joe Gomez (Thigh problems) will be missing for Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

In all likelihood, The Reds should go for a 4-2-3-1 system in the match and select Alisson Becker, T. Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez.

🗞️ Team News: Wolves

Wolves manager Vítor Pereira has to choose a team with limited availability. Hee-chan Hwang (Hamstring injury), Boubacar Traoré (Ill), Jørgen Strand Larsen (Hamstring injury), Sasa Kalajdzic (Cruciate ligament tear) and Enso González (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

We reckon that Wolves might elect for a 3-4-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Jose Sa, Matt Doherty, Emmanuel Agbadou, Toti Gomes, Nelson Semedo, Andre, Joao Gomes, Rayan Ait Nouri, Pablo Sarabia, Goncalo Guedes and Matheus Cunha.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Wolverhampton Wanderers have enough to breach the defence of this Liverpool side, however that may not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re expecting a narrow 2-1 win for Liverpool after 90 minutes.
