Wolves vs Liverpool Preview
- Tournament: Premier League.
- Date: Saturday, September 28.
- Time: 04:30 PM GMT.
- Venue: Molineux Stadium.
Wolverhampton Wanderers under Gary O’Niel will look for their first victory of this Premier League season as they face Liverpool in the Molineux stadium on Saturday. It will be an uphill battle for the hosts as Liverpool has made the perfect start of the season, picking up 12 points from five games.
In the last game against Aston Villa, Wolves were in the driving seat for approximately 70 minutes thanks to Matheus Cunha’s opening goal, but a late twist in the match saw Ollie Watkins, Ezri Konsa, and Jhon Duran complete a turnaround to hand the visitors their fourth defeat of the season. September has been a nightmare for the Wolves’ fans as they have been bested by Brighton and Newcastle in the Carabao Cup and Premier League, respectively.
On the other hand, Liverpool will be the favourites in the fixture as they will look to continue their phenomenal run under new manager, Arne Slot. They come into this game after thrashing West Ham United 5-1 as Coady Gakpo and Diogo Jota netted a brace. In the recent Premier League fixture, they hit three against Bournemouth, with Luis Diaz netting the brace this time and Darwin Nunez adding the final kneel on the coffin.
The Reds have the best defence among other teams in the league so far, conceding just a single goal in the five games played. Despite Jurgen Klopp’s departure, Liverpool seems to be in the same groove of dominating rather than entering into a transition. Eyes will be on this match to see whether Liverpool continues their run or Wolves surprise the Reds to gain their first victory of the season.
