Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool Match Analysis & Prediction
16/09/2023 2:30 pm
Looking to pick up where they left off before the international break, Liverpool face Wolverhampton Wanderers in Saturday’s early Premier League kickoff.
The Reds claimed a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa in gameweek four, while their hosts were on the receiving end of a 3-2 defeat to Crystal Palace.
A smash-and-grab victory over Everton and 5-0 EFL Cup beating of Blackpool represented a morale-boosting end of August for Wolves, but the harsh reality check inflicted upon them at Selhurst Park leaves them labguishing in 15th place in the table, having already been bested on three occasions this season.
So far at Molineux, Gary O’Neil’s side have only suffered a 4-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion this season, but they had previously put together a five-game unbeaten run on their own turf, conceding just one goal in that sequence.
Facing a goal-happy Aston Villa side without either of their first-choice centre-backs could have spelled disaster for Liverpool two weekends ago, but the Reds reverted to type in front of the Anfield faithful with a statement victory, putting three past the Lions without reply.
Aside from Manchester City and their unblemished record, only Tottenham Hotspur have also performed better than Liverpool owing to their marginally superior goal difference, and Jurgen Klopp’s side have now gone 15 matches unbeaten in the top flight – scoring in 14 of them.
Attention will soon turn to a Europa League opener with LASK Linz for Liverpool, but the Reds must firstly avenge last season’s dismal 3-0 defeat to Wolves at Molineux in February, which they semi-rectified with a 2-0 Anfield success only a few weeks later.
