Wolves Ready to Battle Liverpool: Key Matchups, Bold Predictions and Starting XI Revealed

Liverpool maintain their pursuit of a top-five finish with an away fixture against resurgent Premier League strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday evening—just three days prior to their FA Cup fifth round encounter.

The Merseyside club secured their third consecutive league triumph over the weekend, though their 5–2 success against relegation-battling West Ham United was perhaps more generous than deserved for the outgoing champions.

While far from flawless, Liverpool appear to be finding their rhythm following a challenging opening period to their title defense campaign. This recent upturn has positioned them fifth in the standings, holding a three-point advantage over Chelsea. Fourth-placed Aston Villa look vulnerable, particularly after their defeat at Molineux last Friday evening.

Wolves delivered when it mattered most, with their 2–0 triumph under the floodlights helping them surpass Derby County's infamous low of 11 points. A sequence of two draws and one victory in their last three matches has lifted them to 13 points, and Rob Edwards's squad certainly don't resemble one of the division's historically poor sides.

Nevertheless, it would require an extraordinary turnaround for Wolves to maintain their Premier League status.

A matchup that was once considered routine for Premier League visitors could now present a potential stumbling block for Champions League-chasing Liverpool.

The Reds' recent winning streak lacks complete conviction, while Wolves approach Tuesday's encounter following an impressive display against Villa. With 10 matches remaining, they continue to battle, and consecutive league wins might spark belief in an unlikely escape.

For the away side, victory is essential. With Chelsea facing Villa Park on Wednesday evening, this represents a crucial chance for Slot's team to strengthen their top-five aspirations.

Prediction: Wolves 1–2 Liverpool

André's injury marred Friday evening's triumph over Aston Villa, with the Brazilian midfielder withdrawing during the second period due to a suspected hamstring problem.

The compressed schedule suggests the former Liverpool target will likely be unavailable for Tuesday's clash. Hwang Hee-chan remains sidelined with his own fitness concern.

André's unavailability might prompt a minor adjustment from Edwards, with the Wolves boss potentially returning to a front pairing featuring Tolu Arokodare alongside Adam Armstrong, who has made an encouraging start to life at Molineux.

Wolves predicted lineup vs. Liverpool (3-5-2): Sá; Mosquera, S. Bueno, T. Gomes; Tchatchoua; Bellegarde, J. Gomes, Mané, H. Bueno; Armstrong, Tolu.

Arne Slot anticipates Florian Wirtz will remain unavailable for Tuesday evening's encounter in Wolverhampton, having been absent from Liverpool's last two fixtures with a back complaint.

Jeremie Frimpong made his return on Saturday and is contending for a starting berth, though the Dutch defender may again be restricted to substitute duties. Joe Gomez is expected to keep his position.

Wataru Endo, Alexander Isak, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni remain long-term casualties.

Liverpool predicted lineup vs. Wolves (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Gomez, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Ekitiké.
