Liverpool welcome Wolves to Anfield on Saturday afternoon, looking to extend their winning run.
Arne Slot’s side has won three straight games in all competitions to stabilise their season after a rocky autumn. However, the Reds must navigate this fixture without several key attacking stars.
Unfortunately, Alexander Isak joined Mohamed Salah on the sidelines, which leaves Slot with a selection headache in the final third. Despite these absences, Liverpool feel confident of overcoming a Wolves side that sits at the bottom of the table.

Regrettably, Arne Slot confirmed that Alexander Isak underwent surgery on a broken leg and will remain out for a significant period. Since Mohamed Salah plays at AFCON and Cody Gakpo rates as “50-50” with a muscle issue, Federico Chiesa pushes for his first Premier League start of the season on the right wing.
In midfield, Dominik Szoboszlai serves a one-match suspension. Consequently, Alexis Mac Allister will likely push forward into the number 10 role. Alternatively, Florian Wirtz could operate centrally while Curtis Jones comes into the deeper midfield pivot alongside Ryan Gravenberch. Defensively, Ibrahima Konaté missed a training session but expects to partner Virgil van Dijk. Finally, Jeremie Frimpong looks set to start at right-back if Conor Bradley fails his late fitness test.
