Liverpool will look to keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City when they visit Wolves in the Saturday afternoon kick-off.
Gary O’Neil’s side have made a very miserable start to the season, with their only win in the Carabao Cup before being knocked out of the competition by Brighton & Hove Albion. They were also beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa last time out.
The Reds, meanwhile, continued to enjoy their positive start under new manager Arne Slot by thrashing West Ham United 5-1 in the Carabao Cup. With Luis Diaz, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo among the recent goals, Saturday presents a monstrous challenge for Wolves and O’Neil.
here it is 90 minutes preview this matchup in Gameweek 6.

Wolves They recently received a big blow in defense with Yerson Mosquera now set for a long stint on the sidelines with a knee injury. He joins Boubacar Traore, Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez and Bastien Meupiyou in being unavailable for Liverpool’s visit.
Toti Gomes faces a late race to be fit in time to play, which could leave Santiago Bueno partnering Craig Dawson in central defence.
Wolves predicted line-up against Liverpool (4-4-1-1): Johnstone; Semedo, Bueno, Dawson, Ait-Nouri; Bellegarde, Andre, Gomes, Cunha; Lemina; Larsen.
Goalkeeper Alisson missed LiverpoolThe last two games with a hamstring knock, with Caoimhin Kelleher filling in between the posts. However, Manager Slot has revealed that the Brazilian is likely to be fit to start at Molineux.
His return will be a boost, but Harvey Elliott is the only other player who will definitely miss out due to fitness issues. Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai are among the players expected to return to the starting eleven after the win against West Ham.
Liverpool predicted line-up against Wolves (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Núñez
Wolves are really up to it at the moment. Their winless start to the league campaign has left the Wanderers in 19th place Premier League table, conceding a joint-high 14 goals alongside basement boys Everton.
In contrast, Liverpool have only been beaten by Manchester City and Chelsea so far and have several attacking options to fall back on whenever needed. With the hosts also looking a bit short at centre-back, Slot’s side may be licking their lips at the prospect of a visit to Molineux.
The Reds have been clinical in the final third in their last three games, scoring 11 goals, and it could be another feast for Salah and co on Saturday night.
