Wolves Predicted Lineup vs Liverpool In Emotional Premier League Clash
Recent Lineup Insights
Wolves’ season has been difficult, plagued by defensive issues and a lack of scoring. In their last match, they lost 2-0 to Brentford, with José Sá returning to the starting lineup, supported by a back three of Matt Doherty, Santiago Bueno, and Ladislav Krejčí.
The midfield featured Ki-Jana Hoever, João Gomes, André, Fer López, and David Møller Wolfe, while Jørgen Strand Larsen and Hwang Hee-chan were the two forwards.
Wolves’ Recent Form and Strategy
This season has been quite tough for Wolves. They sit at the bottom of the Premier League with only two points, reflecting their struggles in attack. Defensive errors and issues with holding possession have been ongoing challenges.
Wolves are utilizing a cautious 3-5-2 formation, aiming to remain compact and launch counterattacks. However, without consistent quality and creativity, breaking down organized defenses has been a significant challenge. With the emotional atmosphere surrounding the Jota tributes, maintaining discipline and structure will be vital for Wolves.
Injury Updates
Rob Edwards mentioned in his pre-match press conference that Toti Gomes will miss several weeks due to a hamstring injury, while Hugo Bueno has been training and might play. Edwards noted that the team has faced a couple of muscle injuries lately, as they have been “pushing hard.” Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Rodrigo Gomes, and Marshall Munetsi remain sidelined due to injuries.
Wolves Predicted Lineup
GK: José Sá
Defence: Santiago Bueno – Ladislav Krejčí – Matt Doherty
Midfield: Jackson Tchatchoua – André – João Gomes – Fer López – David Møller Wolfe
