Liverpool – Wolverhampton: betting house quotes
Liverpool had a difficult week, not so much physically as psychologically. At Brighton, Jurgen Klopp’s players lost two points in time offset by the referee, allowing them to gain a foothold in first place. But the biggest disappointment was not an annoying failure (1: 1 tie), but the following injury. The Reds’ already packed infirmary was packed with James Milner and Alisson. Commenting on the injury to the Brazilian goalkeeper, the Liverpool manager could not resist the irony: “When I was told that Alisson was away for only two weeks, I almost uncorked the champagne for joy“.

In the first match without Alisson, Liverpool did not feel the loss of a key player. In the game against Ajax (1: 0), the Brazilian was a great substitute for Kaoimhin Kelleher. The fact that Jurgen Klopp preferred the club’s academy graduate to Adrian came as a huge surprise. But the 22-year-old goalkeeper gave no reason to reproach the coach for his choice. Kelleher played much more confident and confident than Adrian. And in large part thanks to Kaoimhin, the “red” managed to keep the winning score. Interestingly, Kelleher became a goalkeeper by accident. In Ireland, Kaoimhin showed promise, acting as a forward; in children’s teams, the boy scored 20-30 goals per season. The blister change occurred at age 14, when the only goalkeeper left Kelleher’s team.
Kelleher’s successful play against Ajax allows the Irishman to count on retaining a spot in the starting lineup. The fight against Wolverhampton could be Kaoimhin’s debut in the Premier League.
Liverpool – Wolverhampton: indicative lineups
Liverpool’s defeats are not limited to the absence of Alisson. Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Thiago Alcantara remain in the infirmary, and in addition to this trio against Wolverhampton, Jordan Henderson and Andrew Robertson may not play yet. Both players were injured in the game against Ajax. However, according to the British press, Henderson and Robertson should have time to recover for the fight against Wolverhampton. Another piece of good news was the return to training of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Naby Keith. These guys will probably play Wolverhampton too.

The guests have fewer losses, but in terms of importance to the team, they are in no way inferior to van Dijk and Alisson for Liverpool. A week ago, Raúl Jiménez received a serious injury (fractured skull bones). The Mexican underwent a successful operation and expressed the hope that he would soon return to the field. But this event will not happen very soon.
By the way, for the first time since his transfer from Benfica, Jiménez will not be included in the application for a Premier League match. In the Premier League, the Mexican played 86 games, in which he scored 34 goals, this is only seven goals less than all the other Wolverhampton players who have scored together. But Jiménez’s importance to Wolverhampton isn’t just about goals. Raoul is a key figure in the attacks of the “wolves”. None of Nuno Espirito Santo’s defenders don’t win as many martial arts riding into the opponents’ penalty area as Jiménez. And only João Moutinho has given more assists (14) than the Mexican (13) since the forward moved to Wolverhampton.

Anfield is far from the best place to experiment. Also, on such a special day for Liverpool, after a 9-month hiatus, the stadium will finally be filled with fans (up to 2 thousand people). But Nuno Espirito Santu has no other option. The Wolverhampton coach can once again use an unusual 4-2-3-1 formation for his team with 18-year-old Fabio Silva at the helm. Or go back to the 3-5-2 formation, more familiar, in which Pedro Neto and Daniel Podense (or Adama Traore) will play forwards.
“Liverpool” – “Wolverhampton”: the author’s prediction
Wolverhampton is usually good against the big clubs, but Nuno Espirito Santo’s team is fighting Liverpool. Sometimes the “wolves” show a good game and outperform at times, but remain inferior. Jurgen Klopp’s men have beaten Wolverhampton in all four Premier League games since the Wolves returned to the elite. Also, in these matches, Nuno Espirito Santo’s team scored only one goal. So this time, I guess, nothing good will shine for Wolverhampton.
