WOL vs LIV Dream11: Wolves host Liverpool with their season very much in danger of petering out as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side sit comfortably in midtable. Liverpool meanwhile, are enduring a disastrous run in the Premier League, the defending champions have lost six of their last seven league games. The hosts will no doubt sense a real opportunity to add their name to the list of sides who have taken the scalp of Jurgen Klopp’s men in recent weeks and the pace of their attacking players such as Adama Traore and Pedro Neto will cause huge problems for the Reds.

Wolves News
Injury Report and Unavailability: Raul Jimenez picked up an injury earlier this season and has been ruled out for the season. Daniel Podence and Marcal are also carrying knocks and are unlikely to be risked this weekend.
Expected changes and Strategy: Though the Wolves manager could also spring a surprise here, handing Willy Boly a route back into the side and pushing one of Romain Saiss or Leander Dendoncker into midfield.
Wolves Starting XI (Likely)
Rui Patricio Conor Coady Romain Saiss Willy Boly Jonny Nelson Semedo Ruben Neves Leander Dendoncker Joao Moutinho Pedro Neto Adama Traore
Liverpool
Injury Report and Unavailability: Liverpool’s defensive crisis is yet to resolve itself this season with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Joel Matip sidelined with injuries. Jordan Henderson is also ruled out and will be unable to lead his side against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Expected changes and Strategy: Jurgen Klopp moved Fabinho back into midfield for the first time since October in Wednesday’s win over RB Leipzig and Liverpool looked all the better for it. The Liverpool manager also lavished praise on both Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak, so we should really see a repeat of that system here.
Liverpool Starting XI (Likely)
Alisson Becker Trent Alexander-Arnold Nathaniel Phillips Ozan Kabak Andrew Robertson Fabinho Thiago Alcantara Georginio Wijnaldum Sadio Mane Diogo Jota Mohamed Salah

Jurgen Klopp will hope their result in midweek will act as a turning point, though they also beat Leipzig 2-0 in the first leg and then lost three of their next four. In our WOL vs LIV Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 1-0 win for the Hammers in this match.
