Liverpool is set to face Wolves in the Premier League this Saturday following an impressive 5-1 victory over West Ham in the Carabao Cup midweek. Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo each scored two goals while Federico Chiesa made a strong full debut.
This success poses several selection dilemmas for manager Arne Slot, which is a welcome situation compared to Wolves’ struggling performance this season as they sit at the bottom of the league with only one point from five matches.
Wolves vs. Liverpool lineups, expected starting 11, confirmed team news
Toti has returned to training this week, providing Wolves’ manager Gary O’Neill with a much-needed boost in defense after losing Yerson Mosquera due to a serious knee injury that will sideline him for the entire season.
Team captain Mario Lemina might be considered for a defensive role, although O’Neill may prefer to keep him in midfield against a strong Liverpool side.
Hwang Hee-chan has not been at his best this season but could return to the starting lineup.
Wolves predicted 11 (4-4-2, right to left): Johnstone (GK)— Semedo, Toti, Dawson, Ait-Nouri —Lemina, Andre, Gomes, Bellegarde — Cunha, Hwang
Injured: Mosquera, Gonzalez, Kalajdzic, Meupiyou, Traore
Suspended: None
Cody Gakpo once again showcased his talent for Liverpool during the midweek match, continuing his strong performance from their Champions League clash against AC Milan. Meanwhile, Luis Diaz has excelled on the left wing, complicating Gakpo’s chances of securing a starting spot in the Premier League.
However, with Darwin Nunez playing up front alongside Diogo Jota against West Ham, Slot may find a way to incorporate all of his top performers into the lineup.
Alisson remains doubtful due to a muscle issue, with Caoimhin Kelleher prepared to take his place in goal.
Liverpool predicted 11 (4-2-3-1, right to left): Kelleher (GK)— Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson —Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Gakpo, Diaz — Jota
Injured: Alisson, Elliott
Suspended: None
