Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Preview

Match preview

As two goal-shy clubs, Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers, renew their rivalry in the Premier League for the fourth time this season, fans may not be anticipating fireworks to fly at Anfield on Wednesday night.

The Reds struggled to a point in Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace, while Julen Lopetegui’s team walked away from their encounter with Fulham with a point in a 1-1 tie.

Jürgen Klopp’s team was undoubtedly shell-shocked after Real Madrid humiliated them 5-2 on their own turf. As a result, Liverpool struggled to recover before their match against Crystal Palace on Saturday, and both sets of fans exited the stadium empty-handed.

The Liverpool supporters found some solace in Selhurst Park’s third consecutive Premier League clean sheet. Their team, who has won just one of their last 34 home games in the Premier League, has also taken 10 of the last 12 points available at Anfield.

Wolves, who are currently 15th in the standings and three points clear of the dreaded goal line, come to Anfield having only lost to Manchester City in their past six away Premier League games. However, they haven’t maintained a clean sheet on the road since August’s draw at Bournemouth.

Nonetheless, Everton (17 goals) has displaced Wolves and their 18 goals as the worst attacking team in the Premier League, and the Kop won’t need any reminding of how Lopetegui’s team destroyed them 3-0 at Molineux a few weeks ago.
