Liverpool meet Wolves at Anfield in a huge Premier League clash with implications at both ends of the table.
Victory will move Liverpool seven points clear at the summit ahead of second-placed Arsenal, whilst Wolves can move five points clear of relegation with a win.

Stat Attack
- Liverpool have lost one of their last 16 league meetings against Wolves (W15, L1).
- Wolves have lost their last seven league visits to Anfield (L7).
- Liverpool have won their last two home games against Wolves by 2-0 results.
- Five of Liverpool’s six league goals at home in 2025 have been scored between Cody Gakpo (3) and Mohamed Salah (2).
- Wolves have conceded three goals in each of their last two away games in the top-flight (L2).
Prediction
Despite their dominance in the Merseyside derby, two sloppy marking errors from Liverpool allowed Everton to snatch a point so small defensive improvements will be needed but I expect another strong performance from Arne Slot’s Reds.
Wolves meanwhile have a big opportunity to put some daylight between themselves and the relegation zone but after their recent away struggles in the league, they must be defensively solid but equally clinical if want any chance of a result.
I however just can’t see Liverpool losing this if they turn up and play with control and a resilient defence but Wolves should give them bit of a test, given that Liverpool have a rescheduled trip to Aston Villa to come in midweek.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Wolves
Result: Liverpool 2-1 Wolves
