**Jeremie Frimpong is “definitely” in Arne Slot’s thinking ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Wolves on Tuesday evening.**
The Reds head to Molineux looking to continue their improved form, but they must be wary of a Wanderers team that have drawn with Arsenal and beaten Aston Villa there in recent weeks.
Liverpool face Wolves twice in the space of three days, also facing them in the FA Cup fifth round on Friday night, so Slot will be considering using his squad and rotating his team.
Speaking in his [pre-Wolves press conference](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-liverpool-team-news-3) ahead of the league game, the Reds’ head coach said Frimpong could start, having returned as a substitute during last weekend’s 5-2 win over West Ham at Anfield:
_“That definitely goes through my mind. But the other thing is, you can also say the same about Joe Gomez, who has been out for a while, played 75 minutes for the second time._
_“The last start he had before the weekend was against West Ham three or four months ago. These are all the things which is our situation this season, and in the meantime I think the players handled that really well.”_
**How will Liverpool line-up against Wolves in the league?**
------------------------------------------------------------
It would arguably be a surprise if Frimpong was named in the starting XI to face Wolves, despite being hailed as “crucial” by [Slot](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2025/12/slot-frimpong-liverpool-low-block-tactics/) in the past, given his lack of minutes of late.
Instead, Joe Gomez feels more likely to continue at right-back, with Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkez joining him in defence behind Alisson.
Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister will again likely start in a double pivot, having found improved form lately, with Dominik Szoboszlai in the No.10 role without Florian Wirtz available.
In attack, the go-to trio of Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike are expected to play, due to a lack of options, but much more is needed from the two wide men.
Rio Ngumoha is pushing hard to start, having affected games more than Salah and Gakpo in recent weeks, but he is more likely to feature prominently in the cup match.
**Predicted Liverpool XI to face Wolves:** Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Gakpo, Ekitike.
