Wolves's results in the Premier League are slowly declining since their arrival to the English top-flight division back in the 2018/19 season. Last year, they were 13th, but by winning just 41 points and with a -27 goal difference, we can safely say the last season was Wolves' worst in the Premier League in recent years. They were closer to the relegation zone than to the European spots and will surely look to improve this season. However, the current season started poorly for The Wanderers as they won just three points in four matches, and they will have to look for points vs one of the best teams in England - Liverpool.
Liverpool had an atrocious last season by their standards. They finished 5th and failed to secure the Champions League for the first time since the 2015/16 season. But to be fair, after more than half of the season, it looked like they could miss on Europe entirely. But, with a strong season finish, they almost reached the top four spots in the Premier League. This season started very well for The Reds, winning ten points in four rounds.
Wolverhampton vs Liverpool pick: Both teams to score
Even though Wolves's results have not been good so far, they only failed to score once this season in five games in all competitions. That was vs Manchester United in Manchester in the first game of the season. Still, they deserved at least one goal, and according to the xG statistics, they should have scored 2.14 goals.
In the last two games (in the league and EFL Cup, Wolves were very efficient, scoring seven goals.
Liverpool have been excellent this season. So far, they have scored nine goals in four matches against very good competition - 2.25 per game. So, it is fair to expect at least one goal vs Wolves. On the other hand, Liverpool kept a clean sheet just once in four rounds, and the additional problems could be the absence of key defensive players.

"He's really knowledgeable, and he just needs a little more time to carry out his work methods because it's not an easy or quick process," Gomes added.
According to credible sources, defensive midfielder Joe Hodge is the only player who is ruled out with an injury. However, Hodge is not an important part of the rotation.
