Liverpool FC heads to Wolverhampton Wanderers tomorrow for a match that features two sides at opposite ends of the table. Wolves are dead last, and look every bit the part of a relegation side. While it is still early days, it’s actually not going to be early, too much longer, if they don’t get results. They need to get moving on getting some wins, even in spite of their rash of injuries.
As for Liverpool, well, it seems like they haven’t really missed a beat so far, in the transition from Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot.

LFC Team News
No real updates here, as Alisson is still a doubt, and we’ll just have to wait and see. For Wolves, Yerson Mosquera is now ruled out for the rest of the season due to the very serious knee injury that he picked up at Aston Villa.
He is joined in the treatment room by Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Medina and Boubacar Traore, who will all miss this one as long-term injury absentees. Finally, Toti Gomes is a doubt.
Liverpool FC Starting XI Prediction
Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez
