Liverpool vs Wolves: Premier League Match Preview, Predictions & Betting Tips

Liverpool welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Anfield as they continue their title pursuit. The Reds have been dominant at home this season, while Wolves have struggled for consistency despite showing flashes of quality.

• Fixture: Liverpool vs Wolves
• Date: Sunday, 16 February 2025
• Kick-off: 14:00 GMT
• Venue: Anfield, Liverpool
  

• 2-2 vs Everton (A)
• 2-0 vs Bournemouth (A)
• 4-1 vs Ipswich (H)
• 2-0 vs Brentford (A)
• 1-1 vs Nott’m Forest (A)

Liverpool are in fine form and will be aiming to extend their unbeaten league run which extends back to September 2024. Their attacking trio is firing, but defensive injuries could pose a challenge.

• 0-3 vs Newcastle (A)
• 1-1 vs Aston Villa (H)
• 2-1 vs West Ham (A)
• 0-3 vs Brentford (H)
• 2-2 vs Chelsea (A)

Wolves have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches. They’ll need to tighten up to stand a chance at Anfield.

• Joe Gomez (Hamstring) – Out
• Tyler Morton (Shoulder) - Out
• Cody Gakpo (Knock) – Doubtful
• Curtis Jones (Suspended) - Out

Gomez and Morton are only rotation players, and their absence won't weaken Liverpool’s side. Gakpo and Jones, though, will be a big misses, but the hope is the former will be able to play.

• Yerson Mosquera (Knee) – Out
• Jørgen Strand Larsen (Hamstring) – Doubt
• Boubacar Traore (illness) – Doubt
  

The hope for Wolves is that key striker Strand Larsen will be deemed fit enough to feature, with the attacker having already scored against Man City this season.

• Goalkeeper: Alisson
• Defenders: Conor Bradley, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, Andy Robertson
• Midfielders: Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch
• Forwards: Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz

If Alexander-Arnold isn't fit enough to start, Bradley will deputise at right-back. Salah remains the key attacking threat.

• Goalkeeper: José Sá
• Defenders: Emmanuel Agbadou, Craig Dawson, Toti Gomes
• Midfielders: Nelson Semedo, Mario Lemina, João Gomes, Rayan Aït-Nouri
• Forwards: Matheus Cunha, Hwang Hee-chan, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde

Wolves’ best chance is through counter-attacks, with Cunha and Hwang possessing the speed to exploit Liverpool’s high line.

• Strengths: High-pressing, quick transitions, dominant at home
• Weaknesses: Vulnerable to counter-attacks, defensive injuries
• Expect Liverpool to control possession and create overloads on the flanks.
  

• Strengths: Pace in attack, compact midfield
• Weaknesses: Lack of defensive solidity, poor away form
• Wolves will sit deep and look to spring forward when given space.
  

• Mohamed Salah vs Rayan Aït-Nouri - Salah’s movement and dribbling will test Aït-Nouri’s defensive discipline. If Salah finds space, he could be decisive.
• Midfield Duel – Alexis Mac Allister vs João Gomes - Mac Allister’s passing range will be vital against a Wolves midfield that thrives on physical battles.
  

Liverpool’s attacking quality should prove too much for Wolves, especially at Anfield. However, Wolves have upset big teams before and will try to frustrate the Reds with compact defending.

Liverpool 3-1 Wolves

The Reds should have too much firepower, but Wolves may grab a goal on the counter.

Liverpool have won their last six home games against Wolves, conceding just one goal in that run.
