Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Premier League title hopefuls Liverpool will complete an impressive 2021/22 season at Anfield against underperforming Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Jurgen Klopp’s understrength Liverpool side came from behind to beat Southampton 2-1 in midweek Premier League action and keep their faint quadruple hopes alive. Despite beating Chelsea in both domestic cup finals and reaching the Champions League showpiece, the ‘Reds’ need a miracle to complete the history-defining quadruple. Going into the ultimate round of Premier League fixtures, the Merseyside heavyweights sit a point adrift of table-topping Manchester City. It means they need their former pals Steven Gerrard and Philippe Coutinho to hold Man City winless to give them a backdoor into the title race. It’s worth mentioning that Liverpool haven’t lost any of their six closing day Premier League fixtures under Klopp (W5, D1), whlie they are unbeaten in their last 22 home league outings (W17, D5), netting a staggering 53 goals while conceding only ten in return.

In the meantime, Wolves have nothing but pride to left for after a run of six winless Premier League matches (D2, L4) left them hanging five points below seventh-placed West Ham United. Bruno Lage’s men can find some comfort in their recent scoring improvement. After drawing a blank in three consecutive league games, the ‘Wanderers’ have netted in their last three on the trot. Against this backdrop, the West Midlanders have lost their ten previous Premier League meetings with Liverpool, failing to get on the scoresheet on eight occasions. What’s more, Wolves have suffered 17 defeats in their last 19 away league encounters with the ‘Reds,’ winning the other two, though the most recent one dates back to 2010. A lack of scoring prowess remains the elephant in the room, as Wolves have bagged a league fourth-low 37 goals this Premier League season.
