Wolves v Liverpool LIVE: Salah desperate to drought as he plays in milestone gameLiverpool can ill-afford to lose any more ground in the Premier League when they travel to face Wolves once again this weekend. The under-fire Reds are returning to Molineux, which was the site for their only win in six games in all competitions in 2023. Getty Liverpool have struggled in all competitions this season Jurgen Klopp’s side are languishing in ninth place in the Premier League, a whopping 10 points behind that coveted fourth spot.
Liverpool have failed to score in their last two Premier League games, as many as in their previous 36 matches in the competition. They’ve not gone three games without a goal since December/January in 2020-21 (a run of four). Liverpool have lost five of their nine away Premier League games this season (W2 D2), as many as they had across the previous two campaigns combined (W23 D10 L5). They’ve lost 3-1 at Brentford and 3-0 at Brighton in their last two away league games, last losing more consecutively on the road in April 2012 (4). Despite losing to Manchester City last time out, Wolves have taken as many points in five Premier League games under Julen Lopetegui as they had in the 10 games before his arrival (7).

“I think top four is off this season – they’re miles of it. You know, we keep expecting ‘Liverpool will turn up’, they’ve still got top players in the side, ” the former Tottenham midfielder said on talkSPORT. “They’ve just lost the cutting edge. They’ve lost the belief and the intensity that they’ve had for so many years and now teams are turning up against them and they are able to turn them over. “I think they’re just not good enough in midfield and they quickly need to sign some top quality players to help themselves out. A few of them have lost their legs. “I think it’ll be a tough season for them. I don’t think they’ll win a trophy this season and it’ll be a miracle for them even if they get fifth. ” Wolves v Liverpool: Match facts Mohamed Salah could make his 200th Premier League appearance for Liverpool in this match, becoming the 17th different player to reach this milestone for the Reds.
