Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Liverpool in what is an eagerly anticipated Premier League encounter this weekend.

The West Midlands outfit have recently begun a new era under Bruno Lage's management following the departure of Nuno Espirito Santo at the end of last season, and find themselves eighth in the standings after 14 matches played.

Wolves are currently the fifth-best performing team in the league during the 2021/22 campaign, according to Fotmob, and are about to face a run of challenging fixtures that sees them face three of the teams in the top four.

Liverpool are one of those sides, who currently sit third and are in a scintillating run of form on the back of four-straight wins in all competitions. 

Jurgen Klopp's side will need to negotiate this tricky encounter to be taken seriously as potential Premier League champions. With the likes of Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota firing from all cylinders, the Reds have the momentum they need going into this one.

Wolves, however, are no pushover and are unbeaten in their last three games. As well as this, they haven't lost at home in the league since September, and have only conceded 12 goals all season.
