Wolves take on Liverpool on Saturday lunchtime in a match which the Reds will be looking forward to after an impressive start to the Premier League season. Jurgen Klopp’s men find themselves on ten points after four games and will be excited about the prospect of taking on a struggling Wolves outfit. The match will take place at Molineux and will kick off at 12:30 UK time.

Wolves vs Liverpool H2H: The story so far

As two of the biggest clubs in England, Wolves and Liverpool have a long history when it comes to matches against each other. In total, there have been 114 encounters between Wolves and Liverpool with the Reds coming out on top more often than not.

• Wolves wins: 37
• Draws: 18
• Liverpool wins: 59

In recent years, the gap between the two clubs has become even larger with Wolves becoming one of Jurgen Klopp’s favourite teams to face. Liverpool have won nine of their previous eleven matches against Wolves with the Reds enjoying a seven-match winning streak over their opponents from May 2019 to May 2022.

Last season, Wolves managed to secure their first Premier League win over Liverpool in 13 years when they beat Salah and co by three goals to nil at Molineux. They would do anything for a similar performance this time around.

History in the making

Liverpool had a dismal record in Saturday lunchtime matches last season in the Premier League, failing to win all six of their matches with this kick-off time. A win here would be a huge confidence boost as it would get this particular monkey off their backs.

Tomorrow’s game vs Wolves will be Liverpool’s 12th Saturday lunchtime kick-off (12:30/12:45) in the Premier League immediately following an international break under Jürgen Klopp – including 8 away from home.

Wolves vs Liverpool: Last five H2H matches

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

The last time Liverpool and Wolves faced off against each other was in March 2023. After a disappointing campaign, the Reds were finally starting to find a bit of form and the win took them inside the top six. On the night, goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah were enough for the win.

Wolves 3-0 Liverpool

In February 2023, Wolves earned their first league victory over Liverpool since 2010 when they demolished the Reds 3-0 at Molineux. It was Wolves’ best performance of the season with goals from Craig Dawson, Ruben Neves and a Joel Matip own goal securing them a famous victory.

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

After a draw a controversial draw at Molineux, Liverpool travelled to Wolves for an FA Cup third-round replay and nicked a 1-0 win to progress through to the fourth round. An early goal from Harvey Elliott was the difference between the two sides on the night in a largely dull affair.

Liverpool 2-2 Wolves

One of the best FA Cup third-round games in recent times took place at Anfield last season. Although the match finished 2-2, Wolves felt as if they had done enough to secure the win but were cruelly denied a late winner when VAR made a controversial offside call on Toti in stoppage time.

Liverpool 3-1 Wolves

Liverpool faced Wolves on the final day of the 21/22 season with a quadruple still in their sights. They knew they had to win the match to have any chance of winning the title but also needed Aston Villa to deny Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. After going a goal down, Liverpool eventually turned the game around and won 3-1. Unfortunately for them, Man City also won on the day.

Iconic moment

Wolves pile misery on Roy Hodgson

Back in December 2010, Wolves recorded their first win over Liverpool in 27 years when a strike from Stephen Ward earned Mick McCarthy’s men a 1-0 victory at Anfield. It lifted Wolves off the bottom of the Premier League table and moved Roy Hodgson ever closer to the sack.

Final prediction

Based on the recent record between the two sides, and their early season form, it is difficult to predict anything other than a Liverpool victory here. Things could get ugly for the home side here and we’re expecting Liverpool to win by three or four goals.
