Liverpool host Wolves as the two clubs face each other for the fourth time this year. Liverpool are currently in seventh place on 36 points while Wolves are 15th with 24 points. This will be the fourth time this season that these two sides face off. A lack of consistency has plagued Liverpool this season. They have won just 10 matches and lost seven, which is five more than they managed the whole of last season. They come into this match without a win in their last two matches. They drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace last time out and before that had soaked in five against Real Madrid in the Champions League. This season Anfield is not the fortress as it has been known to be, Jurgen Klopp’s men winning just one of their four home matches in 2023 across all competitions. In total, Liverpool have played 11 matches in 2023 and have won just three of those while suffering five defeats. One of those losses came away to Wolves earlier this month and they will be seeking revenge here. Darwin Nunez missed the draw against Palace with injury and could be out again for Wednesday’s match. Thiago Alcantara, Calvin Ramsay, Luis Diaz and Joe Gomez are expected to be out as well.

Just like Liverpool, Wolves have been plagued by consistency issues and come into this match having drawn 1-1 with Fulham last time out. Julien Lopetegui’s men are in 15th place with 24 points, three above the drop zone and cannot afford to not put points on the board with this fixture. Wolves have won just two of their last five matches in the league and arrive to play Liverpool without a win in their last two matches. Wolves beat Liverpool 3-0 at the start of February to seal their first win over the Reds in nine attempts. With only one loss in their last six away matches in the league, Wolves go into this match with confidence knowing that they are going up against a team they have won against recently and one that is plagued by the same issues as them. Pablo Sarabia scored the opener against Fulham and should again start to try and take advantage of a shaky Liverpool defence. Wolves will be without the services of Matheus Cunha after the forward was stretchered off against Fulham. He joins Sasa Kalajdzic, Chiquinho and Hwang Hee-chan in the treatment room.
