Liverpool have only one win from their last three Premier League outings, but their prospects to get another three points look good for Saturday as they’ll take on relegation-threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers. Or just plain Wolves as almost everyone calls them.
Jurgen Klopp’s men are still injury-riddled, to say the least, but their place in the standings isn’t as sour as it may first appear. They still have a game in hand on everybody that is ahead of them in the table, except for Brighton and Arsenal.

So there is still some semblance of hope left for the Scousers this season! All is not lost on Merseyside, for this term, but they really need to not slip up against lesser teams, like they sometimes have been doing.
Wolves is one of those said lesser opponents, and here is what we think Klopp will go with here as he attempts to avoid another disaster.
