Your support makes all the difference.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.

Two half-chances for Wolves in as many minutes. The first comes after great work from Semedo, who beats three men on the touchline and delivers a dangerous cross that Alisson has to come out and punch away. It is almost cleared but Lemina dispossesses Diaz and puts another inviting cross in, which is headed away.

A pass back to the centre-back from Bellegarde draws an irritated reaction from the crowd. He tries to take on Konate next time, but loses out.
Liverpool lose possession quickly though – they haven’t quite got to grips with this game yet.
