Wolverhampton vs Liverpool Predictions

• All of Liverpool’s nine Premier League wins have been by two or more goals.
• Wolves have scored just one goal in their last four games.
• Liverpool have scored four goals in each of their last three league games.
• Former Wolves forward Diogo Jota has four goals in his last three games.

In-form Liverpool can overpower hosts

Liverpool claimed a 4-1 win at Everton in a midweek Merseyside derby on Wednesday and can claim another convincing win at out-of-sorts Wolves on Saturday.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have now scored four goals in each of their last three Premier League games after responding in style to a 3-2 loss at West Ham.

The Reds thrashed both Arsenal and Southampton 4-0 at Anfield, before going on to claim the local bragging rights at Goodison Park.

Goals an issue for Wolves

Wolves are unbeaten in their last three games with a win and two draws but worryingly for boss Bruno Lage they have scored just once during their last four games.

The Molineux club managed 16 shots in their own midweek assignment against Burnley at home but only two of those were on target and they had to settle for a 0-0 draw despite dominating for large periods.

Liverpool, clearly, are a huge step up in class and with the Anfield side in free scoring form this could be a difficult afternoon for Wolves.

The visitors have won nine of their 14 Premier League games so far this season and all of those victories have been by two or more goals.

Wolves have only lost two of their last 10 games but both of those losses were 2-0 defeats. With Lage’s men struggling for goals, I’m backing Liverpool to beat a -1 handicap once again when they make the trip to Molineux and as they have hit four in each of their last three league games a 4-0 win is the pick in the correct score market.

In-form Jota can haunt former club

Liverpool paid around £40million to sign Diogo Jota from Wolves in 2020 in what now looks like an absolute bargain. The 24-year-old Portuguese forward has eight goals in 13 league appearances this season and has scored in each of his last three Premier League appearances, with four goals in total during that run. Jota, who scored the only goal of the game in the corresponding fixture in March, looks a strong contender to grab a goal at anytime on Saturday.

Wolves predicted lineup: Sa, Kilman, Coady, Saiss, Ait-Nouri, Moutinho, Neves, Semedo, Traore, Jimenez, Hee-Chan

Liverpool predicted lineup: Alisson, Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip, Alexander-Arnold, Thiago, Fabinho, Henderson, Mane, Jota, Salah

• Liverpool have won their last three Premier League games with four goals or more in each of those matches
