Wolverhampton Wanderers host high-flying Liverpool in a Premier League fixture on Saturday.
The Reds are coming off a dominant 5-1 win over West Ham United in the League Cup earlier this week. It was their third successive win across competitions and the Liverpool attack is coming into its own.
Meanwhile, the Wolves are still searching for their first win of the league season. They are currently languishing at the bottom of the table.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Wolves vs. Liverpool City lineups, team news
Toti Gomes returned to training with Wolves this week, giving Gary O'Neill a timely defensive boost after the lost Yerson Mosquera to a long-term knee injury. The Colombia international requires medial collateral ligament surgery and will miss the rest of the season.
Skipper Mario Lemina could be redeployed in defence, although O'Neill will probably be loath to remove him form his natural position in midfield against an in-form Liverpool.
Hwang Hee-chan has struggled to find his best form so far this season but could be restored to the attack.
Wolves predicted XI (4-4-2, right to left): Johnstone (GK)— Semedo, Toti, Dawson, Ait-Nouri —Lemina, Andre, Gomes, Bellegarde — Cunha, Hwang
Injured: Mosquera, Gonzalez, Kalajdzic, Meupiyou, Traore
Suspended: None
Cody Gakpo impressed once again in midweek for Liverpool, as he did during their Champions League victory at AC Milan. However, Luis Diaz has shown electric form on the left wing so far and has closed the door to Gakpo in terms of earning Premier League starts.
However, Darwin Nunez featuring in the middle of the attack alongside Diogo Jota versus West Ham perhaps gives Arne Slot a template when it comes to fitting all of his in-form attackers into the team.
Alisson remains an injury doubt with a muscular problem, with Caoihmin Kelleher ready to continue between the posts.
Liverpool predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Kelleher (GK)— Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson —Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Gakpo, Diaz — Jota
Injured: Alisson, Elliott
Suspended: None
Wolves vs. Liverpool Prediction
Without Mosquera, Wolves' already shaky defense is looking even more fragile and will be tested against a rampant Liverpool frontline.
The Reds walked away with a 3-1 win in this fixture last season, and a repeat performance seems very much on the cards. Liverpool are hot on league leaders Man City's heels and another dominant win seems likely.
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-3 Liverpool
