There are no injury concerns for the Wolves in this game, but Hodge (strain) will miss the game. We think Wolves may go with a 4-4-1-1 formation and the starters may include Jose Sa, Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Ait Noori, Hwang Hee-Chan, Gomes, Lemina, Neto, Cunha and Fabio Silva.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are largely injury free with the only injury doubt being Alexander-Arnold (muscle strain). We think Liverpool could go with a 4-3-3 formation, with starters likely to include Becker, Gomez, Konate, Matip, Robertson, Sobosloe, Windo, Jones, Salah, Giacobo and Wakita.
We think there is a chance that Wolves could score a goal in this game, but probably won't be able to stop Liverpool's offense. Therefore, our predicted outcome of the match is a 2-1 win for Liverpool at the end of full time. This should be a very exciting game.
