Liverpool v Wolves

Liverpool vs Wolves Preview

Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw by local rivals Everton in the midweek merseyside derby but nevertheless, The Reds now possess a useful seven-point cushion over second placed Arsenal heading into this weekend's Premier League action with a home fixture against strugglers Wolves coming up at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

Wolves registered a 2-0 home win against Aston Villa in the west midlands clash last time out in the Premier League which helped the upcoming visitors to remain sitting fourth from bottom in the English top flight table and two points above the relegation zone.

A point shared in a local derby is not the end of the world for Liverpool and Arne Slot and indeed that midweek draw has also extended Liverpool's unbeaten run in the Premier League to an impressive 20 games overall which consists of picking up 14 wins along with six draws and this sort of form certainly does not bode well for visitors Wolves on Sunday.

Since being handed that shock 1-0 loss at home to Nottingham Forest back in mid-September, Liverpool have collected seven wins from their subsequent nine games at Anfield which includes The Reds scoring two goals or more in each of these last nine home games as well.

Wolves picked up a very welcome three points last time out in the domestic top flight as they registered a solid 2-0 home win against west midlands rivals Aston Villa at Molineux which in turn has given Vítor Pereira's side a two-point cushion above the bottom three clubs ahead of this tough looking trip to Anfield on Sunday.

The west midlands visitors may well need that cushion as they come up against the league leaders Liverpool who will be smarting after conceding a late equaliser to rivals Everton in midweek, and having suffered four defeats on the trot prior to their win against Villa, Wolves are certainly not out of the woods yet.

Previous losses at the hands of Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Arsenal suggest Wolves are likely to have their work cut out if they are to even get a point on merseyside on Sunday afternoon.

Results away from home continue to produce below-par returns for Wolves and this is underlined when looking at the west midlands outfit's results on the road as Vítor Pereira's side have managed to capture just two wins from their previous 18 outings on the road in the Premier League.

Victories gained at Fulham and Leicester City have been overshadowed by also being handed 11 defeats within these previous 18 away games and this could cause Wolves further problems at Anfield.
