Liverpool and Wolves are about to get very well-acquainted as they prepare to face each other twice in four days at Molineux.
The first game is in the Premier League, with Liverpool continuing their bid to qualify for the Champions League following a 5-2 win over West Ham United at the weekend.
The Reds have now won four of the last five Premier League games, leaving them fifth in the table and just three points behind Aston Villa and Manchester United.
Wolves are still rooted to the bottom of the Premier League but have given their fans reason to celebrate in the last two home games at Molineux.
They came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Arsenal and a 2-0 win over local rivals Aston Villa put them on 13 points, meaning they have eclipsed Derby County’s all-time Premier League low of 11 in 2007-08.
Following the Premier League clash, Liverpool will return to Molineux on Friday night to play them in the FA Cup fifth round.

Florian Wirtz has been sidelined since suffering a back injury in the warm-up at Nottingham Forest, and he is not expected to play either game against Wolves this week.
Jeremie Frimpong came off the bench against West Ham following a five-match injury absence, and his cross forced Alex Disasi to put through his own goal for Liverpool’s fifth.
But the Netherlands international might have to settle for a place on the bench again as Arne Slot has admitted that they are going to carefully manage his minutes.
Alexander Isak, Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo, Giovanni Leoni and Stefan Bajcetic remain long-term absentees for Liverpool.

Wolves v Liverpool predictions
Following Wolves’ recent results against Arsenal and Aston Villa, Liverpool know that a trip to Molineux is now a much bigger test than it would’ve been earlier in the season.
The Reds still have enough quality to secure all three points, and the FA Cup game should be the priority for Wolves as Premier League relegation still feels inevitable despite their recent run of results.
But Liverpool haven’t been winning at half-time in a Premier League away game since they played Newcastle at St James’ Park in August. That leads us to back Draw-Liverpool in the Half-Time Full-Time market at 19/5.
We also expect both teams to score and Liverpool to win this fixture 2-1 for a fourth successive game is available at 8/1.
Salah has now gone 10 Premier League games without a goal, but a trip to Wolves represents a great opportunity to end that run. He’s 2/1 to score anytime.
