- Liverpool enters this clash on a high after securing three consecutive victories across all major competitions.
- The Reds have won 25 of their last 31 home league games played during late December.
- Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently enduring a dismal 10-match losing streak in the English top flight.
- The visitors have conceded a league-high 37 goals while scoring only nine times this entire season.

- Historical data favors the hosts, who have won 16 of the last 17 meetings against Wolves.
Arne Slot seems to have finally found his groove on Merseyside, leading his team to a solid 2-1 win over Spurs just last week. It is quite a turnaround considering they suffered a bit of a wobble back in October. Still, the squad is humming now, even if they spent Christmas just outside the top four. The confidence at Anfield is palpable, and with 17 wins in their last 20 festive fixtures, the historical weight is firmly behind the Reds. It’s hard to say how Wolves will cope with the atmospheric pressure of a packed Anfield on a Saturday afternoon, especially given Liverpool’s knack for striking first.
The home side does have some personnel headaches to navigate, though. Losing Alexander Isak to an ankle injury is a massive blow, especially since he just found the net against Tottenham. With Dominik Szoboszlai suspended and Mo Salah away at the Africa Cup of Nations, the creative burden shifts to the likes of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. Ekitike has been on fire lately, scoring five times in his last three games. Can he really carry the torch alone? That’s a big ask, but his current form suggests he’s more than ready to step up in Salah’s absence.
On the other side of the pitch, things look incredibly bleak for Rob Edwards and his Wolves squad. They have equaled a record no one wants: 17 games without a win to start a season. With only two points on the board, they are 16 points away from safety. That is a mountain that looks almost impossible to climb. Their defense is essentially a sieve at this point, leaking 37 goals already. Losing Toti Gomes to injury and Agbadou to international duty only makes a bad situation worse. Still, football is a funny game, and maybe a return for Yerson Mosquera provides a tiny glimmer of hope.
Statistically, the gulf between these two is staggering. Liverpool averages 17 shots per match at home, while Wolves only manage about 7.38 on their travels. That kind of pressure is bound to tell eventually. Wolves have failed to win any of their last 13 matches in all competitions, and their only recent joy was a cup win back in September. It feels like they are walking into a lion’s den here. While Stats English Premier League figures show Wolves have managed a few draws against big sides earlier in the year, their current form is a shadow of those performances. It’s a bold move to bet against a home win here, and honestly, probably the wrong one.
Ultimately, this feels like a match where Liverpool will look to exert total control from the first whistle. Even with a depleted forward line, the Reds possess enough quality to break down a Wolves defense that has been consistently porous. Wolves are averaging nearly 3.13 cards per away match, suggesting they might resort to some rough stuff to slow the game down. That said, if Liverpool gets an early goal, the floodgates could open. It might not be a total blowout given the injuries, but a comfortable home win seems the most logical conclusion for this Saturday showdown.
Ahead of the upcoming Premier League clash with Wolves, head coach Arne Slot credited Liverpool's improved form to enhanced defensive solidity and a touch of fortune. While the Reds have recently extended their unbeaten streak to six matches, Slot noted that recent wins against Brighton and Tottenham were more balanced affairs compared to previous performances where dominant play failed to yield results.

Backing Liverpool with a -1.5 handicap makes a lot of sense when you look at the shot statistics. Liverpool averages 17 shots per home game, while Wolves struggle to protect their box, allowing an average of 1.75 goals per away trip. The Reds have also won 16 of the last 17 league meetings between these two. While the loss of Isak and Salah hurts, the inclusion of Florian Wirtz and the form of Ekitike provide enough firepower to cover the spread. Wolves are currently winless in 17 games, matching a record for the worst start to a season. Their confidence is shattered, and Anfield is the last place a struggling team wants to visit. Liverpool's historical dominance in the post-Christmas period (25 wins in 31 home games) suggests they will not take their foot off the gas, making a multi-goal victory the most probable outcome.
