Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:
"Joao Gomes is a player that should never be heading for the Championship. He's very much in the shop window for Wolves surely and this could be another big night for him in a more attacking role. He has been given licence to join as Wolves spring their counter attacks – had five shots in last two starts including a goal against Aston Villa. Confidence could be high in terms of shooting from range and the home fans may urge him on."
Sky Sports' Lewis Jones predicts:
There's a bit of blind faith in the market around Liverpool at the moment.
They're being priced on reputation and peak performance levels rather than what the tactical match-up might look like here. The 13/8 with Sky Bet on Wolves double chance (win or draw) is worth serious consideration.
Why? Because this is exactly the type of game that can make life awkward for Liverpool.
Arne Slot has spoken openly about his side's discomfort when facing low blocks - teams that deny central space, slow the tempo and force them into sterile domination. Without Florian Wirtz knitting things together between the lines, that creative incision isn't quite as sharp.
Wolves, under Rob Edwards, are becoming a tougher nut to crack precisely because they embrace that approach. Compact, disciplined and prepared to suffer without the ball is their remit.
Wolves have landed this double chance play against Arsenal, Newcastle United and Aston Villa when going off heavy outsiders. They're comfortable being underestimated.
SCORE PREDICTION: 0-0
Wolves haven’t scored before half time in any of their last nine Premier League games. Only once have they gone 10 games without a first half goal, doing so between August and November 2018.
Just 14% of Liverpool’s away league goals this season have been scored in the first half (3/21), with only one of those coming before the 45th minute (Ryan Gravenberch, 35th min v Newcastle in August). In Premier League history, only three sides have a lower ratio of away goals in a season scored before half-time: West Brom in 2008-09 (10% - 1/10), Leicester in 1994-95 (12% - 2/17), and Southampton in 1998-99 (13% - 1/8).
Hello and welcome to our live blog of the Premier League game between Wolves and Liverpool at Molineux.
Liverpool can move above Aston Villa into fourth with a win here and might even be eyeing third spot if they can beat the bottom club by three clear goals. That would lift Arne Slot's side above Manchester United.
Wolves did win here against Aston Villa on Friday evening, however, so maybe it will not be as straightforward as the table suggests.
We will have team news, video and stats before kick-off at 8.15pm.
Wolves boss Rob Edwards says Tuesday’s match with Liverpool will have no bearing on Friday’s FA Cup rematch.
The Reds travel to Molinuex twice in 72 hours in a quirk of the fixture list, with the league match followed by the FA Cup fifth round encounter.
“In the Premier League, anyone on their day can give anyone a run for their money and anyone a game,” Edwards told a press conference.
“We are showing that at the moment, but this is a different game now. It’s a different game to when we played them last time, it’s a different game to Friday night.
“To threaten these teams and to compete, we have to be at our best. Liverpool are obviously the current champions, they’re an amazing football club, so we know the size of the task – everything that we had on Friday, we’re going to need and more.
“They’re winning games and that’s a sign of a good team, whether you’re at your best or not. They’ve had a lot going on at that football club and some change with new players coming in as well.
“They’re looking strong as the season is getting to the really crucial stage. Every game for them now is about winning, whether it’s about Champions League qualification or winning trophies, that’s what they’re used to doing.
“We’re preparing for the best of them over these next two games, and I’m sure that’s what we’ll get.”
Liverpool boss Arne Slot on race for Champions League places:
"So many things have gone against us this season.
"In terms of performances, only the first half against Forest was not of our standards.
"For all the other games, we've played to our standards, or what there is to expect in the Premier League because it's not like every game is as if you're watching Barcelona 10 or 15 years ago or watching the Premier League four or five years ago, it's changed how entertaining it is because of playing styles.
"We are well placed now, but two weeks ago, you could've asked the question 'you're not so well placed' so things can change really fast.
"We're really close together with a few teams and things can change every matchday because of who you face and who the other teams are facing.
"We focus on the next game, on ourselves and we know every game has been difficult for us for the whole season and that's what we expect in the upcoming ten [games] as well."
Liverpool boss Arne Slot on facing Wolves twice in three days:
"We are playing Wolves tomorrow and they've shown recently that they are doing much better or are getting more results from what they deserve.
"Throughout the whole season, they've hardly been beaten by big goal differences, so that tells you that they are a competitive team throughout the whole season and they've picked up points, and even a win against Villa.
"We know that we are going to face a difficult game tomorrow.
"It's not unusual to play three games in seven days... does it bring a challenge for the second game a little bit more because then you know what to expect?
"We've already played them once and you see a lot of games of them because they play against teams we are facing as well.
"You know each other well and I don't see that much difference in play each other twice in three days or that there is a longer period in between."
