Konate gifts the ball to Neves inside Liverpool's defensive third, but after the Wolves captain picks out Jimenez with a quick pass, Van Dijk steps in to cut out the danger.

The home side have started to exert some control over proceedings after a bright start from Wolves, but it is a fairly open game so far, with possession being shared quite equally.

Some sharp pressing by Jota and Fabinho forces an error from Matheus in the Wolves area, but Fabinho then sees his low pass across the box cut out for a corner. From the set-piece, Nunez tries to contrive a flicked finish from distance, but is woefully off-target with his attempt.

Wolves' 3-0 win in this season's reverse fixture ended an 11-game losing run against Liverpool in the Premier League. Today, they're aiming to complete the league double over the Reds for the first time since 1950-51.

Liverpool turn up the pressure, as Tsmikas twice has low crosses from the left side of the area blocked away from dangerous areas - on the second occasion by Dawson, who gladly concedes a corner.

DOUBLE CHANCE! Twice, Wolves miss out on a chance to take the lead! First, Alisson flies to his right to tip away a goalbound strike from Moutinho, then from the subsequent corner, an acrobatic effort by Sarabia zips wide of the far post! The visitors have started well here.
