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.

There’s a real lull in activity at the Molineux as the half draws to a close. The home side try and launch a counter, with Cunha bursting into the Liverpool half and to the box, but there’s no support and he loses out.

Both sides are still guilty of wasting possession and potential chances, with both also using tactical fouls to disrupt the flow of the game.

CLOSE! How has this not gone in?!
Van Dijk finds Robertson with a superb through ball, and the Scot’s cross is equally as brilliant. It’s put between Toti and the ‘keeper, and it’s straight to Szoboszlai, but he can only direct his effort right at Johnstone, and he makes a great save.

Ait-Nouri fizzes a ball across the box but there’s nobody there to convert, and Alisson collects. Wolves can’t seem to recover that early tempo that they showed.

Jota comes in from behind on Lemina, with his foot going down his Achilles, and the Gabonese midfielder stays down for treatment.
The Liverpool man is given a yellow card after a brief VAR check.

That free-kick was the first shot on target so far (to provide some indication of the kind of match it’s been).
It’s still pretty stop-start at the Molineux, with little happening of note.

Liverpool look to have settled now and they’re on top at the moment. They’ve just won a free-kick near the edge of the box as Andre lunges in on Mac Allister.
It’ll be Alexander-Arnold to take – and he fires it straight at Johnstone.

Alexander-Arnold plays a brilliant early cross in, but Jota narrowly misses it. Better from Liverpool.

Liverpool win a corner and it’s Alexander-Arnold to deliver, but it’s a poor ball in. Liverpool come again but Wolves are making life difficult for them, and Johnstone eventually gets it clear.
Not a lot happening for Arne Slot’s side yet, but they’ve grown into it over the last five minutes or so.
Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

Bellegarde is dispossessed in his own half and the ball is played to Salah, but his cross is poor.
