Liverpool return to Premier League action at Anfield with significant selection questions hanging over Arne Slot as Wolves arrive on Saturday afternoon. The Reds are juggling fitness concerns, suspensions and absences at a crucial point in the festive schedule, forcing a reshuffle that could shape both the starting XI and the tactical approach.

Liverpool beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 on Saturday to climb into the top four in the table and condemn Wolves to an unwanted record for the longest winless start in Premier League history with 18 games.

But Wolves pulled a goal back a few minutes into the second half, which made the remainder of the game more nervy than it should have been. Substitute Conor Bradley made a superb block in the closing stages to prevent a Jhon Arias equaliser as Slot’s team continue to look susceptible at the back. Gregg Evans and James Pearce dissect the game.

Florian Wirtz finally scored his first goal for Liverpool as he orchestrated what turned into a less-than-comfortable 2-1 Premier League win over bottom side Wolves.

The second half commences with no changes for the Reds. Though they left the pitch with the momentum, it’s Wolves that come back with it. After earning a corner, Alisson blocks the first shot on goal, but the rebound is converted by Bueno to halve the Liverpool lead. No bueno from the Liverpool defense there.

Liverpool labored to a 2-1 win against Wolves at Anfield on Saturday, as Florian Wirtz bagged his first goal for Liverpool and it turned out to be the winner. Ryan Gravenberch gave Liverpool a deserved lead just before half time and just over a minute later Wirtz made it 2-0 amid huge celebrations at Anfield.

The Dutchman is missing key personnel for the visit of the Old Gold, but can have no excuses for anything but a convincing win against the worst attack and defence in the division. Victory could help Liverpool re-enter the top four, although that depends on Chelsea’s result against Aston Villa later on Saturday.

Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers both paid tribute to their former player, Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away in July 2025 after a car crash, when the two met for their Premier League fixture on the weekend. The late forward's wife, Rute Cardoso, has now spoken out.

Florian Wirtz scored his first Premier League goal against Wolves and is becoming more influential for Liverpool.
