WOL
Wolves in search of unlikely maiden season win as Liverpool visits.
As Wolves desperately seek their first victory of the season to climb off the Premier League's bottom, they host a formidable Liverpool side aiming to capitalize on their recent goal-scoring form at the Molineux this Saturday.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
The Wanderers have managed just a single point from their first five Premier League games this season, following their recent 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa, despite leading by a goal at half-time. This string of results [LLDLL] places Gary O'Neil's side at the bottom of the table in 20th place ahead of their Saturday clash against 2nd-placed Liverpool.
Historically, Wolves have struggled against Liverpool, losing more Premier League games against them than any other team, with 16 defeats. They have suffered losses in 14 of their last 15 league encounters with Liverpool, only managing a victory once during a 3-0 home win in February 2023.
Despite conceding in each of their last 17 top-flight matches, Wolves remain determined to secure their first win of the season as they face a Liverpool side boasting the third-best goal-scoring record in the league with 10 goals. Gary O'Neil might go for a 4–4–1–1 formation, placing Jørgen Strand Larsen in the attacking role.
While Yerson Mosquera is out with a long-term knee injury, Wolves have seen a positive development as Toti Gomes returned to training earlier in the week after missing the last three games due to injury.
Liverpool
Liverpool swept ten-man West Ham aside in a 5-1 win in an EFL Cup third-round clash earlier in the week. Back in the Premier League, the Reds bounced back to winning ways in a 3-0 victory over Bournemouth, following their 1-0 shock loss to Nottingham Forest.
A 3-1 win over AC Milan in the inaugural league phase of the revamped UEFA Champions League was sandwiched between those two episodes. Arne Slot’s side will make the trip to Wolves hoping to snatch back-to-back victories, having won four of their last five Premier League games this season [4W, 0D, 1L], keeping a clean sheet in each victory.
With 12 points, along with 3rd-placed Aston Villa, Liverpool [WWWLW] are only a point shy of table-topping Manchester City before Saturday’s clash. Arne Slot would like to see 6th-placed Newcastle United [10 points] do his side a favour by taking a few points off the champions when they face City in Saturday’s early kickoff clash.
A 4—2—3—1 formation with Darwin Núñez in attack is expected against Wolves this weekend.
