Liverpool will be eager to return to the comforts of Anfield after a challenging week on the road.
Their FA Cup journey came to an unexpected halt against Championship side Plymouth Argyle, and just days later, they endured a gut-wrenching finish in the final Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park, conceding a last-gasp equalizer in the 98th minute. That result not only cost them two crucial points but also meant they missed a valuable opportunity to extend their lead at the top. Now, with that game-in-hand settled, the Reds have clarity on their position in the title race, holding a seven-point advantage over their closest challengers, Arsenal, as they head into the weekend.
The Anfield faithful will be counting on their team to respond strongly. With only 14 Premier League matches remaining, every game carries weight, and Liverpool will not want to let their grip on the top spot loosen. Under Arne Slot, they have yet to go three consecutive matches without tasting victory, a streak they will be determined to protect. Their form at Anfield has been a major factor in their success, and with 16 successive home matches in all competitions yielding at least two goals per game, confidence in a strong performance remains high.
Wolverhampton Wanderers will aim to take advantage of any lingering uncertainty in Liverpool’s camp. Encouragingly, they enter this fixture on the back of two morale-boosting 2-0 victories, overcoming Aston Villa in the league and Blackburn in the FA Cup. However, those wins followed a difficult spell in the Premier League, where four defeats left them precariously close to the relegation zone. Heading into the round, they find themselves just two points clear of the drop zone, meaning every point is vital as they look to pull away from danger.
The prospect of facing the league leaders away from home is far from ideal for Wolves, especially given their struggles in such fixtures. They have suffered defeat in all seven of their previous Premier League away matches against teams starting the day at the summit. That record alone is concerning, but when factoring in their poor history against Liverpool, the challenge becomes even greater. A solitary victory in their last 16 top-flight encounters with the Reds underscores the difficulty of the task ahead.
Liverpool’s defensive resilience in these meetings has often been a deciding factor, and Alisson has played a key role in that regard. The Brazilian goalkeeper has been instrumental in keeping Wolves at bay, conceding just seven times across 12 league clashes while securing seven clean sheets in the process. His presence between the posts has provided Liverpool with a solid foundation, and he will be keen to add to that impressive record.
At the other end of the pitch, João Gomes will hope to pose a threat to his compatriot. The Brazilian midfielder has shown a knack for finding the net away from home, with eight of his last nine goals coming on the road. Fresh from scoring in the FA Cup against Blackburn, he will take confidence into this encounter, knowing that Wolves will need a moment of quality to break through Liverpool’s defense.
With so much at stake for both sides, the opening stages of the match could set the tone for what unfolds. Liverpool have been quick off the mark in recent matches, with only two of their last ten Premier League games remaining scoreless inside the first half-hour. That suggests another fast-paced start could be on the cards, particularly with the home side looking to assert their dominance early.
As the title race enters its decisive stretch, Liverpool cannot afford any missteps, especially on home soil. While Wolves arrive with a point to prove, history and form favor the Reds, who will be determined to take another step toward reclaiming domestic glory. The Anfield crowd will demand a response, and with their impressive attacking record at home, they will expect nothing less than three points from their side.
