The team news is out for Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool in the Premier League.

Gary O’Neil and Arne Slot have named their respective starting lineups and substitutes for this evening’s clash at Molineux.

Wolves are looking for the their first league win of the season following four defeats in their first five outings, but it will be tough to end that rut today as Liverpool are in superb form. The Reds, on 12 points out of an available 15, have the chance to go top following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw away at Newcastle United.

It’s expected to be another tricky encounter for Wanderers - especially as a virus has spread through the squad - but O’Neil will believe his players have what it takes to cause an upset. Equally, today’s visitors will be just as confident that they can rub salt in Wolves’ wounds and soar to the summit of the standings.
