Wolverhampton Wanderers return to Molineux to face Liverpool in the first of two meetings this week. First up is this mid-week Premier League clash. Sitting bottom and looking for momentum after a rare win last time out, Rob Edwards’ side will need a strong performance at home against one of the league’s in-form teams. Here is our Wolves predicted lineup and team news.

Jackson Tchatchoua, André, João Gomes, and Hugo Bueno filled up the midfield. Ahead of them, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Mateus Mané played behind Adam Armstrong in attack.
Wolves Recent Form & Tactics
Wolves lined up in a 3-4-2-1 against Villa. The win provided a huge boost; Wolves’ campaign has been inconsistent, and results have been hard to come by. The team have shown organisation and defensive grit at times, but scoring goals regularly has been difficult, which is a recurring issue that Edwards will be desperate to solve as they face a free-scoring Liverpool side.
