    Liverpool to Continue Title Defence with Victory Over Wolves
    04/12/20 3397

    There is plenty of English Premier League action to look forward to on the weekend and the final match to be played on Sunday is between Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield.

    The hosts begin the weekend in second place on 21 points while the visitors are in 7th place on 17 points.

    Liverpool come into the game having defeated Ajax 1-0 at home in the Champions League on Tuesday night. That result means The Reds have booked their place in the knockout stages of the competition, as they were expected to do so considering the teams in their group.

    It was an important victory for Liverpool as they entered the match against Ajax following a defeat at home against Atalanta in the Champions League and a controversial 1-1 draw at Brighton in the Premier League.

    Despite not having things all their own way this season, Liverpool still have an extremely strong record at home in the Premier League and they have not lost any of their last 24 home matches in the competition.

    Trends show Liverpool have won 6 consecutive home games in the Premier League. They have managed to score 2 or more goals in 26 of their last 35 home games in all competitions, including each of their last 6 matches at Anfield in the Premier League.

    However, Liverpool have kept just one clean sheet in their last 7 home Premier League games.

    Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to Liverpool having secured an excellent 2-1 win at Arsenal last weekend. The result came at a cost as striker Raul Jimenez was sent to hospital with a fractured skull and is set for a long period away from the game.

    It was an important victory for Wolves who had failed to win their previous two Premier League games. Having lost 1-0 at Leicester City, Wolves were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Southampton. Wolves have won 3 of their 5 away Premier League matches this season, picking up victories at Sheffield United, Leeds United, and Arsenal.

    Trends show Wolves are undefeated in 6 of their last 7 games in all competitions. They have scored an average of 1 goal in their 5 away Premier League matches this season and have kept just one clean sheet in their last 4 on the road.

    Team news and Liverpool could be without Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Virgil Van Dijk, Thiago Alcantara, Joe Gomez, and James Milner. Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri could both return from injury.

    Wolverhampton Wanderers will be without striker Raul Jimenez, which is a big blow. Jonny remains on the treatment table with a knee injury and Romain Saiss is doubtful due to COVID-19.

    Despite the injuries in midfield and defence, Liverpool still have their attacking quartet available and they should have the ability to score the goals to win the game.

    A clean sheet for the hosts is probably out of the question but we expect to see Liverpool scoring 2 or more goals to win the match.
