Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has a near full squad to choose from, and is likely to name a similar side to the one that defeated Manchester United in the FA Cup on Sunday, although Craig Bellamy may take the place of Stewart Downing.
Lucas Leiva and Jay Spearing are the only absentees though the visitors have plenty of cover in the centre of midfield.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
In the last meeting between the two sides at Molineux Liverpool were 3-0 winners with Fernando Torres scoring twice – the last goals he scored for the club before his £50million switch to Chelsea
- Wolves have only defeated Liverpool once in seven Premier League attempts.
- In past league meetings this game averages 1.57 goals a game.
- Wolves have not won in the Premier League at home since beating Sunderland 2-1 on the December 4.
- Liverpool have registered just one Premier League away victory in their last 5 attempts.
- Mick McCarthy’s (right) men are on a current run of nine Premier League games without a win.
- Kenny Dalglish’s side are also on a dip in the league at the moment – winning just once in their last six.
- Despite Liverpool’s league position of 7th and Wolves respective position of 19th, the two sides have scored the same amount of Premier League goals this season – 25.
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy is coming under increasing pressure as they fall deeper into a relegation battle and a defeat here could see the end of his tenure. Despite recent victories over Manchester United and Manchester City in Cup games Liverpool have been very inconsistent in the league, which will give the home fans hopes of an upset. McCarthy is sure to have his players pumped up for this one and I feel they could get a result though with both sides struggling for goals.
Editor's Prediction
Wolves 1-1 Liverpool
