Liverpool face Wolves in today’s late kick-off at the Molineux, with Arne Slot’s side looking to retain a place near the top of the Premier League table.
The Reds convincingly beat Bournemouth last time out, recovering from a 1-0 loss to Forest by putting three past their opponents, with Luis Diaz scoring a double.
Wolves took the lead against Aston Villa in their Midlands derby last week, only to lose 3-1 thanks to late goals from Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran. Gary O’Neil’s side currently sit bottom of the league, with just one point gained and 14 goals conceded, and are looking for their first win of the season in what will surely be a difficult game against Slot’s developing Liverpool team.

Suffice to say that Wolves are playing quite badly. They’re barely even willing to take the risk to throw men forwards as they look for an equaliser.
Another pass is played straight to a red shirt and the referee blows the final whistle!
Liverpool take three points in the end.

Time for one more Wolves attack, but it isn’t promising much.
liverpool give it away to Toti, who plays it across to Forbs. They go backwards to Lemina before Semedo plays a poor cross straight to a red shirt.

A slick move from Liverpool creates an opening in the box and the cross is fizzed across goal by Gakpo, but there’s nobody on the end of it.
At the other end, Alisson collects the ball once more after a brief Wolves attack.

Forbs has been one of Wolves’ only bright sparks since he came on, and he tries to get things moving, first with a cross and then with a dribble, but the ball ends up with Alisson.
There’ll be six minutes of added time.

This has been a very strange match overall. Both sides have been pedestrian, but Liverpool almost look deliberately so, while Wolves have been forced into it by their lack of quality.
Wolves are really struggling in attack at the moment though, and Liverpool are happy to keep things as they are.

Wolves are really lacking ideas here, as Forbs is given a yellow card for raking his studs down Robertson’s Achilles.

A Liverpool corner goes all the way to an unmarked Jota at the far post, but he wasn’t expecting it and can’t react in time to turn it in.
