TEAMS PREVIEW

Liverpool FC Preview

Liverpool enter this late December game with 29 points from 17 matches. The team has recently hit a rough patch with big losses against Manchester City and Nottingham Forest. However, the players have found their shooting boots again during a high-scoring draw at Leeds and a win over Brighton.

Hugo Ekitiké spearheads the attack with eight league goals after his big move from Eintracht Frankfurt. Mohamed Salah remains the main man for creating chances, even though several old teammates have left.

The backline, led by Virgil van Dijk want to tighten up since the club has already let in 25 goals this season. Stats from the last five games show the Reds scored nine times and let in five.

This shows they are finding their rhythm just in time for the busy Christmas period. Arne Slot is still pushing for better focus to close the ten-point gap on Arsenal. The team is desperate to stay near the top four by improving an away record that currently shows four wins from nine games. 

Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson Becker; Jeremie Frimpong, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai; Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitiké, Luis Díaz.

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Preview

Wolves come into this match after a terrible start to the season. The side has picked up just two points from 17 games, leaving them 16 points away from safety at Christmas. The club recently hired Rob Edwards to turn things around, but changing the style of play proves difficult when you haven't won since the season started.

The team is struggling at both ends of the pitch. They have scored just nine goals and let in 37 so far in the league. Wolves scored twice in their last five games but gave up nine goals in that time.

These numbers show a weak defence that every opponent takes advantage of. The squad still haven't won a league game this year. Eight different players have scored exactly one goal each. Because of this, the owners are planning to buy new players in January to save the club from relegation.

Wolves (3-5-2): José Sá; Santiago Bueno, Ladislav Krejčí, Toti Gomes; Ki-Jana Hoever, Fer López, André, João Gomes, Dustin Wolfe; Jørgen Strand Larsen, Hwang Hee-chan. 

LIVERPOOL FC vs WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS FC
Winning Prediction

We predict a comfortable 3-0 win for Liverpool, reflecting the massive class divide between the two sides. The Reds have taken maximum points in 16 of the last 17 meetings. With Wolves still winless and looking fragile at the back, expect Liverpool’s forwards to exploit those defensive lapses ruthlessly.
