A troubled Wanderers will face the battling Merseyside Reds on Saturday.
Wolves have had a disastrous start to their Premier League campaign, falling into the relegation zone. However, things have transpired under Julen Lopetegui, and the club is trying to win. They are currently 17th in the league and will face Liverpool, who are experiencing their own problems to contend with.
Liverpool were competing for four trophies last season, and this season they have already been eliminated from domestic cups and trying to finish first in order to secure a place in the Champions League. Jurgen Klopp will need to devise a plan to end the team’s poor output.

Wolverhampton Wanderers form (all competition): L-W-D-L-W

Players to watch
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Ruben Neves
Neves’ ball-handling abilities are outstanding; he can locate players from anywhere on the field and also create opportunities. He is a box-to-box player who can also play defensive midfielder. And he likes to cover the entire field; with Liverpool’s defence looking vulnerable, Neves can outmanoeuvre their midfield in the contest.
Liverpool
Harvey Elliott
Harvey Elliott is a versatile midfielder who can also play on the right flank for Liverpool. His two goals in the last two games indicate that he has mellowed as an understanding player and has been more meaningful than new Merseyside signings.
