Liverpool Lineup Vs Wolves: Here is how the Reds could lineup against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Liverpool will be aiming to procure three points against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on Sunday. Jurgen Klopp’s men can only hope for Brighton to take points off Manchester City in a game which is held simultaneously in a title-decider as the season comes to a conclusion.
If Pep Guardiola’s men manage to overcome the Seagulls, the Citizens would have won 14 consecutive games in the Premier League which is undeniably the best any side can expect during their title run-in. On the other hand, Liverpool have drawn just four and won the rest 10 and the least they can do is to hope for City’s opponents to nick away a point on Sunday to end their title drought.
Liverpool won the reverse leg 2-0, thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk in a tight contest at Molineux. They will be hoping to replicate the same scoreline on Sunday, but the visitors have the power to pluck points off the top six sides in the Premier League. Sitting on the seventh spot, Nuno Santo’s side are third in a mini top seven table, only behind Liverpool and Manchester City.
Only a victory would guarantee Premier League title for Liverpool and the Reds will be aiming to get the job done after making a miraculous comeback against Barcelona in the Champions League Semifinals on Tuesday.
In this article, we shall look at Liverpool’s team news, injury news, and predicted lineup.

“They should be fine [for Sunday].
“Bobby not [available] for the weekend, but we have time [before the Champions League final] and that should be enough.
“Mo looked good around the celebrations after the game, to be honest! The day before yesterday and yesterday he was running outside and will be part of training today.” said Klopp.
