Liverpool

Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah scored for Liverpool to boost their top-four hopes with a 2-0 home victory over Wolves.

The stalemate appeared to be over when Núñez slotted into the far corner following a determined run into the area by Jota. Fabinho was booked for catching Mario Lemina’s knee with his studs after the Wolves midfielder had dived into a challenge to retrieve a loose first touch. The Brazil international pleaded his innocence but was fortunate to escape a second yellow card when clipping João Gomes as the substitute attempted to break away. Elliott should have opened the scoring when Jota released Núñez to the byline and the Uruguay international floated a perfect cross into Wolves’ six-yard box. Lopetegui replaced the booked Sarabia with Adama Traoré at half-time in a bid to rediscover the urgency that had vanished from Wolves’ attacking display. Victory lifted Liverpool to sixth and six points behind fourth-placed Tottenham with a game in hand.

Liverpool moved within six points of the Champions League places with a 2-0 victory over Wolves in the Premier League.

The Dutchman's initial header is saved, but Jota sends the rebound back in and the Liverpool captain is there to nod home. Wolves feel Kilman was tripped by Jota, preventing him from being able to clear, and after taking a look on the pitch-side monitor the referee concurs. 45+2' ELLIOTT DENIED - Nunez again sets up Elliott, this time with a nice lay-off, and Elliott's scuffed shot calls Sa into action. Liverpool have three wins in their last four in the league and had key players such as Nunez and Ibrahima Konate back tonight, so things are trending in the right direction. On top of scoring, the Liverpool captain also kept Wolves' frontline quiet and never looked troubled. Subs: Ait-Nouri 6, Traore 4, Gomes 5, Podence 5, Costa n/a.

Mohamed Salah proved he cannot be considered down and out as he was among the goals in Liverpool's 2-0 win against Wolves on Wednesday.

The Egyptian star had a quiet and frustrating game for the most part but he popped up at a vital moment to put the win beyond doubt for Jurgen Klopp's men. His goal came just four minutes after Virgil van Dijk had headed in the opening goal, with the centre-back proving important at both ends of the pitch in a win that keeps the Anfield team in with a slight chance of a top-four finish.

IAN LADYMAN AT ANFIELD: Liverpool were not particularly convincing. They were a little leaden at times. What happened here against Real Madrid has taken a ...

Improvement did arrive later in the first half and on the back of it Liverpool could and should have scored. At times we looked in a rush but we calmed down and increased the pressure. Liverpool were the better team in the second half as the Wolves threat receded. Young midfielder Stefan Bajcetic – a ray of light in the Anfield gloom – had a shot on the turn from a Salah cross in just the third minute. 'I wasn't worried after the VAR goal but the reaction was really good. But when Trent Alexander-Arnold delivered a free-kick from the left in the 73rd minute, Virgil van Dijk rose to meet it. With Liverpool and their supporters buoyed, Klopp's team came again down the left four minutes later. It doesn't matter how they go in and certainly it didn't here. They may not be enough to completely turn around this season for Liverpool but they turned around this game and for now that feels like more than enough. For Jurgen Klopp and his players, fourth place is the height of their ambition this season and they remain outsiders even for that. Jose Sa saved but when Diogo Jota returned the ball, Van Dijk headed in conventionally and his team were in the lead. With 17 minutes remaining Liverpool did not look winning this game.

Liverpool will look to return to winning ways when they welcome Wolves to Anfield for Wednesday night's Premier League encounter.

“I think Man United is the team in form in the moment, maybe together with Arsenal — and City are doing well,” Klopp said, adding that the home crowd could be a factor. The 2-2 draw at Barcelona in the Europa League playoffs last month was evidence of the growing confidence and courage of a team that has been unable to keep pace with City and Liverpool in recent years. There have been signs of the 2020 champions rediscovering their form in recent weeks with morale-boosting wins against Everton and Newcastle. At Arsenal in January, United missed the chance to put real pressure on the leaders with a 3-2 loss, curtesy of Eddie Nketiah’s winner in stoppage time.

Klopp’s side really need a win in this game to keep up their aspirations of a top four finish in the 2022-23 Premier League table. After a terrible run of winning one point in four games (D1 L3) to kick off 2023 in the Premier League, Liverpool’s midweek win over Wolves means that they are now unbeaten in four games and have kept a clean sheet in each match (W3 D1). It was their first defeat in 22 Premier League matches and the first time that they’d lost a league game in 2022. That strike also saw Rashford score for the fifth time in the Premier League for Man Utd versus Liverpool; a tally that only Wayne Rooney (six) has more than. It’s hard to look past a man that’s scored in each of his last five appearances against Man Utd as Liverpool’s key player for this match. The Opta supercomputer’s heavy lean towards a Liverpool win in this fixture may surprise you. They have lost just one of their last 35 Premier League matches at Anfield (W26 D8 L1), averaging 2.46 points per game on home soil across that period. With 29 goal involvements in all competitions in 2022-23 (20 goals, nine assists), Salah is by far Liverpool’s most dangerous attacking threat. Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool side are unbeaten in their last six league games against Man Utd at home (W3 D3) since a 1-0 defeat at Anfield in January 2016. Manchester United and Liverpool renew their rivalry this weekend, with the two most successful English clubs meeting in the Premier League at Anfield. The Red Devils have lost just one of their last 11 games – one of these coming pre-World Cup, 10 after – with eight wins and two draws. They haven’t achieved this in the competition since winning against Liverpool at both Anfield and Old Trafford in 2015-16.

Liverpool, sitting seventh in the table, look for the Anfield crowd to spark a turnaround as they host Wolves in a midweek Premier League match.

He hasn't picked one up in the four league matches since, but playing at Anfield is a different atmosphere. Wolves have a big hole at left-back, which is not a great position to have uncertainty at when up against Mohamed Salah. Pablo Sarabia and Adama Traore should give the Liverpool full-backs a hard time, and if Raul Jimenez can finally find his shooting boots, the Wolves attack may finally put it all together. Wolves absolutely should be able to keep this match close. Wolves were excellent against a good Fulham side last time out and were only pegged back to a 1-1 draw by a moment of brilliance from Manor Soloman. He previously only scored fewer goals than his xG total once in his career, tallying a -1.66 differential in 2019/20 (19 goals vs. Hee-Chan Hwang is also out with a hamstring injury, meaning the Wolves attack is severely depleted. However, the sports books are unclear whether both teams can score, which confuses things a bit. Wolves, meanwhile, are over 5/1 underdogs in this road match despite playing well at Craven Cottage just days ago. Goals from Craig Dawson and Ruben Neves plus a Joel Matip own-goal provided the unlikeliest of results in a match that Liverpool were clearly second-best. Liverpool vs. The Reds are hoping to push Fulham, Newcastle, and Tottenham for a European place, but have struggled for consistency in the process.
