Wolves vs. Liverpool lineups, expected starting 11, confirmed team news and injuries — Diaz aiming to continue hot streak image

Liverpool return to Premier League action at Wolves on Saturday after Arne Slot's attacking stars gave him plenty to think about in midweek.

The Reds romped to a 5-1 Carabao Cup win over West Ham on Wednesday, with Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo each bagging braces as Federico Chiesa enjoyed his full debut.

It means Dutchman Slot has a few welcome selection headaches, the sort of problems Wolves boss Gary O'Neill would be delighted to call his own.

The midlands club are bottom of the table with a solitary point from their first five games of the season.

Wolves vs. Liverpool lineups, expected starting 11, confirmed team news

Toti returned to training with Wolves this week, giving 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 11 (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 Slot a template when it comes to fitting all of his in-form attackers into the team.

Alisson missed last weekend's win over Bournemouth with a muscular problem but Slot expects him to be fit to play at Molineux.

Liverpool predicted 11 (4-2-3-1, right to left): Alisson (GK)— Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson —Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Gakpo, Diaz — Jota

Injured: Alisson, Elliott
Suspended: None
