Wolves vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture today

Liverpool have a chance to go top of the Premier League with a win over Wolves this afternoon. Jurgen Klopp’s side have been in fantastic form of late, scoring four goals in each of their last three league matches. But despite many eyes already looking at the top of the table, the manager himself is taking it a game at a time. He said: “You cannot win the league in November or December. You can lose it maybe, that’s possible. But you cannot win it. So you have to be around, you have to keep contact, you have to be up there. That means we have to chase everybody – each player of each team we face – from all directions.”

Meanwhile Wolves could climb to fifth with a victory after their unbeaten run. They haven’t lost a league match since 6 November when Crystal Palace defeated them 2-0. European football is looking to be a possibility they could achieve this season but manager Bruno Lage has poured cold water on the discussion, saying: “The most important thing is the players believe in our work. It’s about moments and sometimes it’s better to work without too much noise around.”

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

35 mins: Liverpool have stepped up their pressure in the last few minutes and they have been throwing everything at Wolves!

Jota almost got the opener as Salah crossed a perfect ball in but his header went wide. Jota arguably should have scored from the opportunity.

Liverpool then won yet another corner, their fifth of the match, with Alexander-Arnold crossing it in. Sa dealt with it well and the hosts continue to soak up the pressure.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

31 mins: Kilman’s attempted clearance was blocked by Robertson to build some attack for Liverpool. Mane sent a decent attempt into the box but it found no-one. The ball kept being sent in with it ending with a superb run from Alexander-Arnold.

Thiago passed to the England star but his finish is awful to keep the score level.

The first booking of the match also came with Dedoncker given a yellow card for a challenge on Jota.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

27 mins: Henderson is creating opportunities but it’s the final touch and pass that just isn’t coming off for the visitors at the moment.

The question is if Wolves can continue this and spoil Liverpool’s impressive stats. The Reds have scored two goals in their last 18 matches across all competitions!

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

23 mins: Liverpool are finding it difficult to connect in the final third thanks to superb Wolves defence so far.

To put it into context, on Wednesday Liverpool were 2-0 up against Everton.

If the hosts really want to make this count thought they’ll need to get their own scoreboard ticking…

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

20 mins: Well what a few minutes!

Hwang collected a ball poorly cleared by Van Dijk and he put Jimenez through. The shot was way off target but even if it went it, it wouldn’t have counted as he was offside.

Then it was the turn of Wolves to make a sloppy pass which was picked up by Liverpool. The teams have found their feet but the attacking play hasn’t yet been slick enough to find an opener.

Semedo defended well as Jota attempted to cross it in but he has conceded a corner in halting the attack. Alexander-Arnold took the set-piece and they won yet another corner. The defender changed sides to take the shot again but it comes to nothing.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

14 mins: Liverpool have managed to quell the early threat from Wolves with sustained possession, however Traore is still causing issues for the visitors.

Jota, who is being booed whenever he has the ball, created a good chance just moments ago but Sa collected it easily.

A fun stat for you – Salah has scored more goals this season (13) than Wolves (12)

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

9 mins: Wolves have been dominant in the early stages with Alexander-Arnold defending well so far.

A corner for the hosts, won by Jimenez, was taken cleanly but Kilman couldn’t quite get a head to the cross in.

The ball was then kicked off in the sixth minute to remember six-year-old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes. The gesture is hugely applauded by the crowd.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

4 mins: Fabinho and Ruben Neves have clashed in an early challenge with both in a bit of pain. They remain on the pitch but it could be an interesting battle.

There’s also been an early Liverpool corner but Wolves dealt with it effectively, immediately clearing the threat.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

The match has kicked off at the Molineux Stadium which seems to be rocking despite the chilly weather.

Wolves were met with cheers which must be special for Semedo and Coady who are making their 50th and 250th appearance respectively. Liverpool also have a player hitting a milestone with Robertson competing in his 200th league match.

Can the hosts upset the Reds this afternoon? We will soon find out.

Wolves vs Liverpool: What have the managers said?

There’s always a lot of chat in the build-up to a Premier League clash and Wolves vs Liverpool is no different.

Jurgen Klopp has said his side needs to be creative: “It’s a good team and really difficult to play. They are not famous for conceding a lot and not even conceding a lot of shots on goal, so you have to be creative for sure.”

While Bruno Lage has urged his team to keep up with the Reds: “When you face a team like Liverpool, you have to match their ambition and mentality, as you don’t win Premier League titles without a big ambition, belief in your ability and a confidence that you can go into every game knowing you can get the three points.”

The match is under ten minutes away from kicking off.
