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.

PENALTY! It’s all happening now.
Alexander-Arnold floats in a cross and it looks like Jota will get a head to it, but he’s dragged down by Semedo! Stone wall again.

GOAL! Out of nowhere, Wolves are level!
It’s a mess from Liverpool in truth, too. It begins with brilliant work from Lemina, who breaks free in his half and feeds Cunha. The Brazilian tries to thread the ball to Strand Larsen, but Konate is covering. However, the Frenchman doesn’t deal with it properly and the Wolves man nips in to steal the ball and pass across to Forbs.
The sub stumbles as he tries to hit it under a challenge and the ball rolls to Ait-Nouri, who bundles it into the back of the net!
Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

Still very easy for Liverpool to control this one, even if they haven’t really left first gear. Wolves’ problem is illustrated perfectly as Johnstone collects a cross and there are no options for him to offload the ball to.
Wolves do mount an attack, but Cunha’s cross comes back off himself and off for a corner.

Bellegarde comes off for Carlos Forbs as Gary O’Neil makes his first throw of the dice.

CLOSE!
Johnstone is out of his goal and Lemina gives the ball straight to Salah with a horrible pass across his area, but the Egyptian is forced to take it first-time with his weaker foot and he can’t find the target.

Cunha is irritated as he beats two men on the wing but the referee deems the ball to have been out of play. The second half has started in much the same way as the first went.
Bellegarde tries to clip in a cross but it hits the side-netting.
KICK-OFF! Wolves 0-1 Liverpool
The home side get the second half started.
HT: Wolves 0-1 Liverpool
The two sides are re-emerging from the Molineux tunnel, so we’ll be back underway soon.
HT: Wolves 0-1 Liverpool
There have been some suggestions that Wolves’ position and points tally may not be representative of how they’ve played this season, though they’ve offered very little so far this half.
Liverpool haven’t played particularly well, but they’re ahead and also had the best chances overall – they should really be 2-0 up and out of sight.
The away side have a big task on their hands to turn this around, even if Liverpool are a little out of sorts.
