Liverpool
Liverpool are surprisingly doing well recently in the contest, despite their underwhelming performance last season. In fact, this season, this team is currently in an unbeaten run to kick-off their campaign in the Premier League. Liverpool won three of their four matches in the contest, despite starting their campaign with a loss. On their last match, Liverpool had a 3-0 win against Aston Villa, which is already their third straight win in their campaign. On that match, it was Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah, and Matty Cash who scored the goals for Liverpool. Moreover, when it comes to meeting the Wolves, Liverpool are actually doing well. In fact, from their last 11 meetings across all contests, they were able to win nine matches against the Wolves. As they come into this match, this squad aims to boost a superior record.
Fortunately for Liverpool, Alison Becker, Alexis Mac Allister, and Luis Diaz are all returning in this match. However, Darwin Nunez is a doubt coming into this match, as he is suffering from a muscular problem during the international break. Additionally, they may also be without Ibrahima Konate, who has a thigh injury. Virgil van Dijk on the other hand, is banned in this match due to a charge of having an improper conduct.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
The Wolves on the other is the complete opposite of Liverpool, as they are not doing well recently. In fact, they have a poor start in the Premier League, as their struggles are evident in their match. From the first four games of the Wolves, they suffered three defeats, which is the opposite of Liverpool. On their last match, they suffered a 3-2 loss against Crystal Palace, which does not give them a good momentum here. It was Hwang Hee-chan, and Matheus Cunha who scored the goals for the Wolves, but it is not enough to earn a win. Moreover, during their matches against Liverpool at home in the contest, this squad is not doing well. Actually, from their nine Premier League home games against Liverpool, they only won once. Nonetheless, Wolves are focused now to improve their place in the league table.
Fortunately for the Wolves, they do not have a major injury coming into this match, which could work for their advantage. Only Joseph Hodge will be out in this match due to a thigh injury.
