This Sunday, Liverpool welcomes Wolverhampton Wanderers to Anfield holding a seven-point lead over Arsenal.

The Reds aim to bounce back from a frustrating 2-2 draw against Everton, while Wolves seek to build on their recent victories and escape the relegation zone.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has recovered from his thigh injury, but Joe Gomez remains sidelined due to a recurring muscle issue – with Paul Joyce providing the latest on the 27-year-old.

Tyler Morton is out with a shoulder injury while Curtis Jones will miss the game due to suspension.

Meanwhile, Cody Gakpo is a fresh injury risk with Slot revealing the knock on Friday morning:

“We have Trent Alexander-Arnold back, I think the intention was for him to play around half an hour – so he will be training with us again, Slot said in his pre-match press conference.

“Joe Gomez is out and Tyler Morton is out.”

“Cody is a bit of a doubt, let’s see how he is today.

I had to take him off because of an injury due to a knock.

Meanwhile, Wolves arrive at Anfield with confidence after a 2-0 win over Aston Villa and a recent FA Cup victory over Blackburn Rovers.

An according to Slot, the visitors on Sunday have a player capable of playing for the Reds.

What did Arne Slot say ahead of Liverpool vs Wolves?

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Arne Slot heaped praise on Wolves talisman Mathues Cunha and explained how he is an example of how the Premier League is different from the Eredivisie:

“He is a type of player I am referring to when I compare this league to the other one I worked at.”

“Wolves are 17th and if you go to Holland there’s no player in the 17th placed team who could play at Ajax, PSV or Feyenoord.”

Slot even suggested he could play for a top five team in England, with Liverpool natrually included:

“But Cunha could play in a top five team in England.

Based on 2354 minutes played.

The Brazilian has managed 11 goals and four assists in only 23 appearances across all competitions.

Wolves recently secured the long-term future of their star forward, with the 25-year-old signing a new 4½-year contract on February 1, 2025.

The deal, which includes a £62.5 million release clause, is seen as a significant move by Wolves to stave off interest from top Premier League clubs such as Arsenal and Aston Villa.
