Get ready for an exciting Premier League clash as Liverpool FC takes on Wolves! In this preview, we'll dive into the predicted lineup, team news, and injury updates for this highly anticipated match.
The Battle for Anfield
At the City Ground, Curtis Jones stepped into midfield, replacing the injured Florian Wirtz. In a thrilling 5-2 victory over West Ham, Joe Gomez's return to right-back allowed Dominik Szoboszlai to shine in his preferred midfield role behind the dynamic Hugo Ekitike.
But here's where it gets controversial... Liverpool faces a midweek fixture without four key players due to long-term injuries. The only possible returnee before the season's end is Alexander Isak, who suffered a broken leg against Tottenham before Christmas. Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo, and Giovanni Leoni also remain sidelined.
Injury Woes and Tactical Adjustments
With Wirtz out, Slot's team selection seems straightforward, except for the right-back position, which could be a tactical puzzle. Gomez's return allows Szoboszlai to operate in his natural habitat, while Jeremie Frimpong's return from injury provides a boost off the bench.
In defense, the formidable partnership of Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk remains intact. Milos Kerkez has solidified his place at left-back, pushing Andy Robertson to the bench. Up front, Mohamed Salah and Ekitike will lead the attack, with Cody Gakpo aiming to build on his recent goal-scoring form.
Predicted Liverpool XI (4-2-3-1):
- Alisson
- Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez
- Gravenberch, Mac Allister
- Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo
- Ekitike
Injured: Wirtz, Isak, Endo, Bradley, Leoni
