With the international break over, Premier League action will return this weekend and Wolves will kick the game-week off with their clash against Liverpool.
Gary O’Neil’s side entered the break after a 3-2 loss to Crystal Palace and will be hoping to bounce back against a weakened Liverpool side. Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will not be fit to play at Molineux and he has ‘not seen’ Darwin Núñez during training either.
The Reds will also be without captain Virgil van Dijk, who is facing an extended suspension after his red card offence against Newcastle. With this in mind, here’s how Wolves could expect their upcoming opponents to pitch up against them on Saturday
