Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool Preview

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – Molineux Stadium

Date: 21st December 2018

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

Liverpool travel to the Midlands for this Matchday 18 clash with Wolves as leaders of the Premier League and they will be looking to move 4 points clear at the top of the league table before Manchester City play their weekend fixture.

Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Manchester United at the weekend was their 5th consecutive win in all competitions.

The Reds have improved their game management so much and their wins over Everton, Burnley, Bournemouth, Napoli and United attest to that.

Jurgen Klopp should have no problems inspiring his players to go all out for the win in this game.

Wolves also come into this game in inspiring form.

The Midlands side have won all 3 of their last 3 games and these victories came against Chelsea at home, Newcastle away, and Bournemouth on this ground, so they should come into this game with confidence of ending Liverpool’s unbeaten run after 90 minutes.

These two teams meet again at the FA Cup next month and Nuno Espirito Santo’s men will see this game as the best chance for them to show the Reds what they are made of.

Wolves beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield the last time these teams met last year, but Liverpool had won the two games prior to that including a 3-0 win here the last time they competed in the Premier League.

Bookmakers make Liverpool strong odds-on favourites to take all three points home from Molineux.

Goal markets suggest a lively game as over 2.5 goals is trading odds-on while Mohamed Salah is clear favourite with bookies to score the first goal.

This game gets underway at 20:00 BST.
