High-flying Liverpool take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in a Premier League clash on Saturday.
The two teams are at the opposite ends of the league standings, with the Reds placed second just one point off league leaders Manchester City while the Wolves are languishing at the bottom of the table.
Liverpool come into the match on the back of a dominant 5-1 win over West Ham in the League Cup. The Wolves suffered a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the previous game and are yet to register a league win this season.

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
