Liverpool vs Wolves: Preview, predictions and lineups
- Liverpool host Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon
- Reds currently perched top of the table and clear of Arsenal
- Old Gold still battling relegation after disappointing campaign
Liverpool are aiming to take another step towards the Premier League title on Sunday afternoon when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Reds stumbled in their bid for glory midweek after suffering late heartbreak at Goodison Park in the Merseyside derby. Having been beaten by Championship outfit Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup fourth round last weekend, James Tarkowski's 98th-minute equaliser at Goodison Park added to frustrations on Wednesday evening.
But Liverpool still command a healthy advantage at the summit and can rediscover their mojo at home to struggling Wolves.
The Old Gold have won their last two in all competitions but are still tussling in a relegation battle. Vitor Pereira has helped steady the ship somewhat since replacing Gary O'Neil but even the inspiration of Matheus Cunha hasn't been able to steer them away from the drop zone thus far.
Here is 90min's guide to an important duel at Anfield.

Liverpool team news
Liverpool will be without the injured duo of Tyler Morton and Joe Gomez at Anfield this weekend, with growing concerns over a lengthy layoff for the latter. Curtis Jones also misses out after being sent off in the fracas at Goodison after the final whistle.
Arne Slot was shown a red card for comments made to referee Michael Oliver, while his assistant Sipke Hulshoff was dismissed, too, but the pair are free to sit in the dugout here while they await a final verdict on their punishment.
The Dutchman will be sweating over the fitness of Cody Gakpo. During his pre-match press conference, Slot revealed that his compatriot could miss out this weekend with a knock sustained against Everton.

Wolves team news
Wolves find themselves light in the forward positions after injuries to Jorgen Strand Larsen and his deputy Hwang Hee-chan. The pair are still in the treatment room alongside long-term absentee Sasa Kalajdzic.
Boubacar Traore could return to the fold having been missing for almost the entirety of the season, but Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera and Leon Chiwome are all absent.
Once again, Wolves will be relying on the brilliance of Cunha.

Liverpool vs Wolves score prediction
At the end of a challenging week, Liverpool should get some respite. They have an incredibly strong record against Wolves in recent meetings - they have won five of the last six - and have been exceptional at Anfield this season.
Wolves are still failing to convince and attacking injuries will make their task harder on Merseyside. Few teams have conceded more than their 52 in the Premier League this term, which doesn't bode well travelling to the division's top scorers. An in-form Mohamed Salah will be purring ahead of Sunday's duel.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Wolves
