Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction and Betting Tips | 22nd May 2022
Liverpool will host Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on Sunday in their final game of the 2021-22 Premier League season.
The title race is set to go to the wire this season, with the Reds trailing Manchester City by just one point in the standings. City face Aston Villa, managed by Steven Gerrard, in their final game of the season.
Both games will kick off simultaneously, so it's of utmost importance that Liverpool take three points. Jurgen Klopp's side secured a narrow come-from-behind 2-1 win against Southampton on Wednesday to keep their title and quadruple hopes alive.
Wolves, meanwhile, cannot qualify for Europe but could spoil the Reds' party if they can pull off an upset. They are on a six-game winless run in the league at the moment, so securing a win against the nigh-flying Reds could be an uphill task for them.
