England Premier League
Friday 21st December 2018
Kick off at 8pm GMT
Venue: Molineux Stadium
Match Preview:
Liverpool would have ideally wanted to face Wolves a few weeks back when Nuno Espirtio Santo’s team could not buy a win as they hit a terrible patch of form. A lot has changed since then and Wolves in 7th place are currently the best team in the Premier League once you take out the recognised elite teams.
In recent weeks Wolves have stunned Chelsea with a 2-1 win and beaten Newcastle and Bournemouth to record 3 straight wins in a row. They have the 10th best record at home where they have won 4 games from 9 which includes winning their last two matches here.
Liverpool have gone from strength to strength and secured a fantastic 3-1 win at home to arch rivals Manchester United last weekend to remain in 1st place with 45 points from just 17 games. That win also spelled the end for Jose Mourinho at Manchester Utd. It was a massive win for The Reds as Manchester City are just 1 point behind them and keeping up the chase.
Mohamed Salah seems to have returned to form just at the right time as Liverpool will look to win the first of a series of very important Christmas run in games.
On the road Liverpool have won 7 games and drawn 2 from the 9 played and have won their last 3 in a row. With just 5 goals conceded only Manchester City have a better record with 4.
Team News:
Wolves: Diogo Jota is the only concern at this time for the club as he has a knock. But will be assessed ahead of this game
Liverpool: Trent Alexander-Arnold could miss this game with a foot injury but is still 50/50 to play. James Milner could be set to return after his muscle injury.
