Hello and welcome to the live commentary for the Premier clash between Wolves and Liverpool.
Wolves will be looking for revenge against Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp’s side knocked them out of the FA Cup in their previous game at Molineux, with Harvey Elliott scoring the only goal in a third-round replay. Despite winning just one of their last seven games in all competitions, Wolves have only lost twice in the Premier League since Julen Lopetegui took charge. Triumphant against relegation rivals Everton and West Ham, Wolves also secured a point at Villa Park. Their two league losses under the Spaniard came against Manchester United and Manchester City.
As for Liverpool, their time in the FA Cup was short-lived after eliminating Wolves, losing to Brighton and Hove Albion in the fourth round last time out. Winless in three Premier League games after four successive wins, the Reds are in 10th place and are 10 points behind rivals Manchester United, who are in fourth. Looking to get back to winning ways, Liverpool will need to improve on their recent performances on the road. They've lost 3-1 at Brentford and 3-0 at Brighton in their last two away league games, last losing more consecutively on the road in April 2012 (four).
WOLVES (4-3-3): Jose Sa; Nelson Semedo, Craig Dawson, Maximilian Kilman, Rayan Ait-Nouri; Mario Lemina, Ruben Neves, Matheus Nunes; Pablo Sarabia, Matheus Cunha, Hwang Hee-Chan.
WOLVES SUBS: Daniel Bentley, Nathan Collins, Raul Jimenez, Daniel Podence, Jonny, Joao Moutinho, Adama Traore, Joseph Hodge, Hugo Bueno.
LIVERPOOL SUBS: Caoimhín Kelleher, James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Fabio Carvalho, Nathaniel Phillips.
LIVERPOOL (4-3-3): Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez, Andrew Robertson; Naby Keita, Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago; Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez.
Wolves have controlled the game before the break. Starting quickly, they deserved their two goals inside the first 12 minutes after forcing Liverpool back into their final third. Cunha and Nunes have been particularly impressive, with their energetic style stopping the away side from getting any time on the ball. As for Liverpool, they have been off the pace. Gakpo and Keita have looked out of their depth with Salah struggling to make an impact. Attempting to put crosses into the box, Dawson and Kilman have been ready for it every time.
Next up, Wolves travel to Southampton, who are at the bottom of the Premier League. As for Liverpool, they host Everton.
