Liverpool will try to make it three straight wins in the Premier League when they host Wolves at Anfield on Saturday (10 am ET), but Arne Slot’s side now has to re-adjust back to life before Alexander Isak arrived after he broke his leg last weekend and is out indefinitely.
WATCH — Liverpool vs Wolves
Isak came off the bench at halftime and put Liverpool ahead just 11 minutes later, however he was also injured on the play. Isak has already undergone surgery and although there is no official timetable for his return, he is expected to miss at least a few months. Fortunately for Liverpool, Hugo Ekitike has been the more productive (and healthier) striker signed this summer (8 PL goals, to 1) and is more than capable of leading the line himself. But it cuts into Slot’s attacking depth a great deal with Mohamed Salah already on international duty for the next month, Dominik Szoboszlai suspended for Saturday’s game.
That might just make it the perfect time for Liverpool to face Wolves, the PL’s last remaining winless team with just two points from 17 games. Wolves are on pace to break all kinds of unwanted records this season, and that’s bound to happen when you have the league’s worst offense (9 goals scored) and the league’s worst defense (37 goals conceded).
