Liverpool Echo IconSportFootballWolves and Liverpool go head-to-head in the Premier League on Tuesday, with the Reds looking to maintain their push for Champions League qualification at MolineuxThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it. The Reds, presently fifth in the standings, increased their points total to 48 following a 5-2 triumph over West Ham United on Saturday and are strong favourites against bottom-of-the-table Wolves.Nevertheless, Wolves demonstrated some resilience by beating Aston Villa 2-0 on Friday, a result that represented only their second league victory of the campaign and saw them claim points from three of the current top four.With 13 points, Wolves have at least escaped the embarrassment of Derby County's record-low 11-point Premier League season in 2007-08.
Whilst manager Rob Edwards cannot guide his team to safety, his recent form—two victories, five draws, and four defeats in the last 11 matches—indicates Wolves may prove more difficult opponents than their league standing suggests.In attack, Wolves have found it challenging, failing to find the net in five of their previous eight matches, but they have secured three clean sheets during that period and have collected eight points from their last six home games. Liverpool's emphatic result against West Ham didn't entirely tell the story of the contest, with the Hammers matching the Reds in major opportunities and expected goals, whilst even enjoying more possession at Anfield.Boss Arne Slot emphasised the significance of set pieces, as Liverpool netted their opening three goals from corners and established a new Premier League record with seven consecutive goals from non-penalty set pieces.
At the back, Liverpool had recorded three clean sheets before the West Ham fixture and have found the net at least twice in six of their previous nine matches, reports the Mirror.The Reds will look to stretch their winning sequence against Wolves to seven encounters, although their last three successes have all been tight 2-1 outcomes, including the reverse meeting in December 2025. Slot's team seem to have recaptured their form with four consecutive victories going into this fixture, and they have triumphed in six of their last seven outings across all competitions.Liverpool's away record has also been strong, with just one loss in their previous 10 away fixtures and six victories during that period.Wolves vs Liverpool PredictionLiverpool to win and both teams to score - 7/4 (William Hill)Dominik Szoboszlai to score anytime - 29/10 (William Hill)Over 3.5 goals - 13/10 (William Hill)18+ | Gamble responsibly | gambleaware.org | Odds subject to changeGamble responsiblyReach plc is dedicated to promoting safer gambling.
