Storylines
Wolverhmapton: After only one point in the first five opening games of the Premier League season, Saturday’s clash against Liverpool might be a good opportunity for the home side to boost their hopes to avoid relegation after a disappointing summer transfer window and the start of the season. Coach Gary O’Neil is already facing a big risk to be sacked if results don’t improve in the next weeks.
Liverpool: The club’s latest signing, Federico Chiesa, is finally getting more minutes, as Arne Slot himself explained after the win in the Carabao Cup against West Ham, and it’s likely to see him playing more also against Wolves this weekend: “It was pleasing to see that he could already play 60 minutes because I think I said in the last press conference he hasn’t played a lot, maybe hasn’t played hardly any minutes in the last three or four months. So, for him it is important that apart from getting more match fitness, he has to have playing minutes.”
Prediction
It should be a quiet easy win for Liverpool after the good start of the season against one of the most disappointments of the new season. Pick: Liverpool 3, Wolves 0.
