Wolves v Liverpool: match preview
Wolves’ small squad is stretched to the limit by injuries but Bruno Lage’s team still have the potential to make life difficult for Liverpool. To claim any points Wolves will have to be far more clinical than they have been in a season when they have created – and wasted – plenty of chances. It will be up to Wolves’ valiant defence to ensure that Liverpool, the Premier League’s top scorers, do not put on another lesson in expert finishing. Chances are that Diogo Jota will thrive on his return to Molineux. Paul Doyle
