Good evening Sports lovers and welcome to another exciting edition of my prematch blog. Vindictive Wolves will be hosting the league leaders Liverpool at the Molineux Stadium on Thursday, and the atmosphere look tensed, probably because many are expecting Nuno Espirito Santo's side to upset the European Champions when they clash tomorrow. It's definitely gonna be another mouthwatering encounter which I would not expect any passionate football fan to miss, so make it a date. Wolverhampthon Wondering goes into this game well fired up to leave a scar on Liverpool, especially as it presents them the chance of taking their pound of flesh on Klopp's side, after they were beaten 1-0 at Anfield. With the drive to solidify their top 6 spot, the hosts will throw everything into Thursday's game, and I bet you, playing at the Molineux is not always funny for visiting teams. Santo's men are currently sixth on the league table after 23 games. They have recorded eight wins, ten draws and also suffered five defeats. A win against Liverpool tomorrow can see them topple Manchester United who are occupying the 5th position. Funny enough, both teams have 34 points, however, Ole's side are topping with goal difference. Moving forward, it's also worthy of not that Liverpool have kept seven successive cleansheets so far, however, no team have left the Molineux this season without conceding a goal.
Meaning, we may be seeing Alisson Becker conceding a goal or more tomorrow. Wolves are coming into this game motivated by their stellar victory against Southampton, after coming from behind to steal a 2-3 win over their host. In their past five encounters against Liverpool in all competitions, Wolves have recorded two victory while succumbing to defeat thrice. From that, one can tell there is no outright dominance by any of the team, and Thursday's encounter can go to any of the sides. Talking about Liverpool at the hand, the league leaders seem not carried away by their ovation worthy performance so far this season. They have showed unmatched consistency and the commitment to lift the Premier League trophy after over three decades. The league leaders who are currently leading the chase with 64 points from 22 games are showing no sign of complacency, and doesn't look like they will allow Wolves taint their unbeaten run when they travel to Molineux on Thursday. Liverpool are going into tomorrow's match with unwavering confidence after they humbled Manchester United in their last match at Anfield. The game which saw Van Dijk and Salah's goals secure a 2-0 win over United, was another morale booster foe the European champions, and to a greater extent, a reflection of their resolve to secure the trophy as earlier as possible. It will surely be a hard match against Wolves and Klopp is no novice to this game. What then should we expect?
My Prediction: Wolves 1-2 Liverpool
