While Klopp has been discussing how the Reds can qualify for next season’s Champions League, hoping they do not need to win this year’s competition and can instead reclaim their place inside the top four: “It would be a dream eh? Why not? But we are not in a situation sitting here and telling the fairytale of how it could end. What we think, what we wish, what we dream of is completely different but being ready for Wolves is the only thing we’re busy with.
“Using the positives from the last game would be helpful. Yes, it’s the last eight but the last eight is historically tricky. I am not 100 per cent clear who are the other seven or the few who look likely will be in but there are no easy games. In these games can we give them a proper game? Yes, definitely that’s the plan but not today, in three or four weeks. But we try to use it as good as possible.”

14’: Chance for both sides.
Mane thought he was through on goal, but Rui Patricio forces him wide. Mane then tries to shoot through a mass of bodies.
The ball breaks to Wolves, who counter straight up the other, but Traore’s control lets him down before he can get a shot off.
A real open start to this game.

Wolves have won two of their last five Premier League games.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are in a worse run of form. Jurgen Klopp’s side have only won once in their last five, but did make it through to the quarter final of the Champions League whilst in the middle of their nightmarish league run.
