Jurgen Klopp’s side have not won in the Premier League since a 2-1 victory over Leicester on 30 December - with the goalless draw at home to Chelsea making it three matches in a row without a win.
The Reds did progress past Wolves in an FA Cup replay, with Harvey Elliott’s goal securing a win at Molineux - but holders Liverpool were then knocked out in the fourth round by Brighton last weekend.
Wolves remain in trouble under Julen Lopetegui and come into the weekend outside of the relegation zone on goal difference after a busy January of transfer business.
