Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
We’re halfway through the season, but already on Merseyside, they are starting to believe that Liverpool’s 30-year wait for a Premier League title is coming to an end.
While the other big leagues in Europe take a well earned Christmas break there’s no such luxury for the tough cookies in the English league and Premier League: Liverpool vs Wolves is the next treat on offer. And the Reds go into the game 14 points clear of Manchester City with a game in hand.
It would take a spectacular implosion to stop Jurgen Klopp’s team now, particularly after Wolves did them massive favour by beating the Sky Blues in a five-goal thriller tonight.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have become a real force in the top league. But after playing a tough 90 minutes against reigning champions Manchester City, they will have to call on all their reserves to cope with the rampant Reds.
Klopp will know the Wolves can be dangerous opponents, but his team has a steely focus and will have had a day longer to rest and prepare.
Anfield will be bouncing with a celebratory atmosphere, and I fully expect it’ll be another special day in Liverpool on Sunday.
Talking Points
Now it seems real for the Reds
Liverpool’s 4-0 win against Leicester City surely dispelled any lingering doubts surrounding the league leaders’ title credentials.
We can take a look at the latest SBOBET odds which have been slashed week on week.
The Reds did go through a period of winning games narrowly. But now they seem to have stepped up a gear, and they defeated the second-placed Foxes with such ease.
Meanwhile, Manchester City lost again, this time to Wolves. The loss has put Liverpool in a dominant position that even the most ardent Reds fan could only dream of at the start of the season.
The game with Leicester was a top-two clash but the Reds simply dismantled the Foxes to hand head coach Brendan Rodgers a harsh reality check.
After Roberto Firmino had given the visitors a half time lead, three goals in seven minutes blew away their hosts.
Liverpool’s front line is frightening. And while neither Mo Salah nor Sadio Mane were on target at the KingPower Stadium, they already have nine goals each in the league.
Wolves pushed to the limit
The pre-match Liverpool vs Wolves news is all about their form in the congested Christmas programme.
And both teams have made a brilliant start, but what must their dramatic win over Manchester City have taken out of the Wolves?
It was a truly special night under the floodlights at Molyneux. But the players must have been completely drained after going two goals down to their opponents who were reduced to ten men, and then roaring back to win the game at the death.
Can they do it again? Well, they certainly have some great players. With eight goals and seven assists, Raul Jimenez is Wolves’ main man and he’s surrounded by some rich creative talent with the likes of Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves pulling the strings in midfield.
Adama Traore is a real handful up front, he scored a beauty in the recent 1-2 defeat to Spurs and he bagged another in Wolves’ dramatic victory over Manchester City. His pace and trickery will give defences nightmares at times this season and he turned the game around after the Sky Blues had gone two goals up.
And Rui Patricio has been a key man in the Nuno revolution at Molyneux, showing what a class act he is by making two penalty saves from Raheem Sterling on Friday night.
History
When Liverpool fans watched their team led by club legend Kenny Dalglish to beat Queens Park Rangers to win the 1990 League Championship, few would have thought they would be 30 years older before they could celebrate being Kings of England again.
But they’re getting closer by the day.
The Reds have had the better of the head to heads. In the 12 games played over the past 15 years, there have been seven wins for Liverpool, three for Wolves and there have been two draws.
The last meeting ended in a 2-0 home win for the Reds with Sadio Mane scoring a brace as they raced for the line in the epic 2018/19 Premier League.
Wolves have been very solid away from home this season, losing only once on ten trips with four victories and five draws.
