But there’s one thing Arne Slot’s side are going to have to do regardless.Wolves may be rock bottom of the Premier League but they are a team that is most definitely on the up, even if it’s almost certainly too late to keep them in the top flight.I watched them get a point against Arsenal and then beat Aston Villa, and they are very much up for the fight.And Liverpool are going to have to match that. It is going to be a scrap, and we are going to have to get stuck in.If we go there with the attitude we showed at Sunderland recently, we won’t have any problems.

We need to win our individual duels and then our better quality should take care of the game.But if we repeat what happened in the first half against Nottingham Forest, then we are going to have two very long evenings.Both games are vitally important. The release last week of Liverpool’s accounts highlighted the importance of the Champions League and it would be a nightmare if we don’t qualify.Things are so tight between third and sixth now, but we have got ourselves in a good position to get the job done.

We are three points ahead of Chelsea and they still have to come to Anfield and have some very tough games, and that’s an advantage we won’t want to let slip.Finishing third should now be our aim and that’s probably where we should be at this moment in time. But we have undersold ourselves this season an awful lot.We’d accept finishing fourth or fifth but really we have to now be targeting third place behind Arsenal and Manchester City.Then comes the FA Cup game on Friday at Wolves.
