| PROBABLE LINEUPS |
LIVERPOOL  Reina Kelly, Carragher, Coates, Enrique Kuyt, Adam, Lucas, Downing Suarez, Carroll | WOLVES  Hennessey Stearman, Johnson, Berra, Ward Hunt, O'Hara, Edwards, Henry, Jarvis Doyle |
Martin Kelly may well go straight into the first XI if fit enough given Martin Skrtel’s nightmare turn at right-back against Tottenham.
It is not expected that Steven Gerrard will be worth more than a place on the bench after Kenny Dalglish’s comments over the need to be careful in managing his captain’s return from six months on the sidelines with a groin problem.
Wolves have favoured a 4-5-1 formation since the loss of Steven Fletcher through injury and are likely to task Irishman Kevin Doyle with leading the line.
Midfielder Matt Jarvis is likely to take his place in the Wolves line up after missing the League Cup victory over Millwall.
Stephen Hunt’s pressing skills could earn him a midfield berth as Mick McCarthy looks to suppress Liverpool’s attacking threat.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
- All Liverpool’s goals in their last victory over Wolves, a 3-0 win at Molineux, were scored by Raul Meireles (pictured right) and Fernando Torres who both now play for Chelsea.
