Wolves v Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool are expected to register another victory but Wolves will not be pushovers, as the West Midlands side have developed a reputation of being the Premier League giant killers. Nuno Espirito Santo's side did the league double over Manchester City this season but Liverpool could still have too much in their locker for Wolves.
The Reds have kept 7 consecutive clean sheets on the trot since Joe Gomez's return to the starting XI and the game could be a low scoring affair once again, as Jurgen Klopp's side have tightened things up at the back in recent weeks.
Wolves v Liverpool Bettings Tips
Sadio Mane has scored in his last two games against Wolves and the Senegalese international could be amongst the goals once again. The West Midlands side haven't been as good as they'd like to be in front of their own fans this season and have the 11th best home record domestically this season.
Liverpool will look to race to a fast start to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign and with Fabinho and Joel Matip back in contention, the away side should register yet another victory.
Tip 1 - Result: Liverpool win
Tip 2 - Both teams score: Yes
Tip 3 - Over/Under 2.5 goals: Over 2.5
