Andy Robertson dropped, three changes – Liverpool predicted XI v Wolves
Liverpool could make three changes to their starting line-up for the Premier League clash with Wolves on Sunday.
The Reds may find their margin at the summit of the Premier League reduced to four points before the kickoff at Anfield on 16 February, with Arsenal in action on Saturday (15 February).
Arne Slot may still be on the touchline despite his red card following the chaotic scenes in the aftermath of the 2-2 draw with Everton (12 February) as the governing body decides upon the extent of his sanctions.
The Merseysiders will be looking to get back to winning ways after failing to take full advantage of their game in hand.
Liverpool to make three changes for Wolves clash
Alisson Becker is expected to remain between the sticks despite conceding two goals in the Merseyside derby. The Brazilian made one save and five recoveries in the Goodison Park clash.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is in line to return to the starting line-up after a 29-minute cameo on Wednesday, in which he made 15 passes into the final third after replacing Conor Bradley.
Ibrahima Konate is set to keep his place in the heart of defence after winning eight of nine aerial duels for an 89 per cent success rate and making nine clearances against the Blues.
The side is expected to be captained by Virgil van Dijk, who completed the most passes in the match with 105 for a 91 per cent accuracy and made 13 clearances in the clash.
Scotland captain Andy Robertson might be dropped for the clash with Wolves after making one clearance and winning two of four ground duels for a 50 per cent success rate against David Moyes’ side.
Ryan Gravenberch is predicted to continue at the base of midfield, the Dutchman won two of his three ground duels for a success rate of 67 per cent in the Goodison Park contest.
Alexis Mac Allister is expected to partner him in a pivot – he scored the Reds equaliser and made four recoveries on Wednesday night.
Dominik Szoboszlai might operate as the number ten despite an unusually poor performance against Everton in which he recorded a 73 per cent pass accuracy and created zero chances due to Harvey Elliott failing to impress when he has been given a chance.
One change in attack for Liverpool
Mohamed Salah is expected to continue on the right-hand side of the attack after notching a goal and an assist in the contest and making five passes into the final third.
Cody Gakpo is predicted to keep his spot on the left wing, meanwhile, despite a quiet performance against the Toffees in which he created one chance and only had one touch in the opposition box.
Luis Diaz might be dropped for Darwin Nunez after another uninspiring performance in the number nine role.
The Colombian attacker created zero chances and did not record a shot as he struggled to give the Reds a presence upfront. If the Merseysiders are to continue their Premier League title charge, the experiment needs to end.
