Team News and Lineups for Wolves vs. Liverpool
Toti Gomes has returned to training for Wolves this week, a much-needed boost after Yerson Mosquera was ruled out for the season due to a knee injury requiring surgery.
Despite the chance to move Mario Lemina to defense, coach Gary O’Neill may hesitate to disrupt his midfield role against a strong Liverpool side.
Hwang Hee-chan has been off-form but might return to the starting lineup for the attack.
Wolves projected XI (4-4-2): Johnstone (GK)— Semedo, Toti, Dawson, Ait-Nouri —Lemina, Andre, Gomes, Bellegarde — Cunha, Hwang
Injuries: Mosquera, Gonzalez, Kalajdzic, Meupiyou, Traore
Suspensions: None
Cody Gakpo has shone in recent matches, including a Champions League win over AC Milan, but Luis Diaz has been in exceptional form, limiting Gakpo’s chances for a Premier League start.
Meanwhile, Darwin Nunez partnered with Diogo Jota in the last match, indicating a potential strategy shift for utilizing multiple in-form forwards.
Alisson is doubtful due to a muscle strain, which could lead to Caoimhín Kelleher starting again in goal.
Liverpool projected XI (4-2-3-1): Kelleher (GK)— Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson —Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Gakpo, Diaz — Jota
Injuries: Alisson, Elliott
Suspensions: None
Predictions for Wolves vs. Liverpool
Wolves’ defense, already shaky without Mosquera, faces a potent challenge against Liverpool’s attack.
Last season, Liverpool won this matchup 3-1, indicating a strong potential for a similar outcome this Saturday. With Liverpool closely pursuing league leaders Manchester City, another comprehensive victory appears likely.
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-3 Liverpool
