Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Both teams come into this game in hit and miss form. The pair of them have won two out of five of their last matches. Liverpool, unlike them, have lost twice and drawn once in the remaining three matches, their great form shown across the season potentially starting to dip. Wolverhampton Wanderers on the other hand have lost all three of the remaining matches from that time frame but their wins have come back to back from each other, giving them a chance to make it three consecutive matches if they win against Liverpool. This Sunday, despite the wishy-washy form that the Merseyside club has displayed, doesn’t look like Liverpool will be beaten by Wolves with a fired up Liverpool team from the disappointing derby result versus Everton.

Liverpool Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-Up: Alisson; Andy Robertson, Virgil Van Dijk (c), Ibrahima Konaté, Conor Bradley; Alexis Mac Alister, Ryan Gravenberch; Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah; Luis Díaz

Liverpool have had an excellent start to the season, finding themselves as league leaders now almost halfway through the campaign. After 24 games they sit in first place with 17 wins, one loss and six draws. Those matches have left them with 57 points, holding an impressive seven point gap to second placed Arsenal. Stepping up this season for The Reds has been the unstoppable force of Mohamed Salah, having a Balon D’Or worthy season. The Egyptian has found the back of the net 22 times this season, the highest tally out of all the players in the Premier League. It hasn’t just been the spectacular goal output for Salah like it usually is, but Salah has been a provider for 14 assists to his teammates. He has been directly involved in around 62% of the 58 goals that Liverpool have scored this season, making him irreplaceable. He will most probably be the star of the show once more this Sunday but if he is not then his fellow winger on the opposite side of the pitch, Cody Gakpo could take that mantle. He is in fantastic scoring nick at the moment with him scoring nine goals in eight Anfield starts.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-Up: José Sá; Emmanuel Agbadou, Toti Gomes, Matt Doherty; Rayan Aït-Nouri, João Gomes, André, Nélson Semedo; Matheus Cunha, Pablo Sarabia; Gonçalo Guedes

This season does not bose very well for Wolverhampton Wanderers, finding themselves in a scrap to avoid the relegation zone. Playing 24 games and they sit 17th place in the league table with five wins, 15 losses and four draws. Those results have left them with 19 points, only two points above 18th placed Leicester City. In the goals for Wolves has been forward Matheus Cunha, reaching double digits for his goal involvements. He has amassed 15 of them, split into 11 goals and four assists. Left wing back Rayan Aït-Nouri has been the next best available player for Wolves numbers wise as the Algerian has five assists partnered with three goals. This Sunday will likely see them becoming the difference makers to face the tough challenge of trying to beat this Liverpool squad however fortune might favour them as Arne Slot’s men have been slightly struggling over the recent weeks.
