Wolverhampton Wanderers will visit Anfield on December 27 to play against Liverpool in a significant Premier League match. Wolves are in urgent need of points, and this game marks the first between the two clubs since the sad passing of Diogo Jota, a cherished player for both teams. Jota’s sons will join the players on the pitch as a heartfelt tribute before the match begins. Wolves are currently at the bottom of the table, struggling with form and missing several key players, making this a tough tactical challenge. Here’s our predicted lineup for Wolves.
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.
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.
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.
GK: José Sá
Defence: Santiago Bueno – Ladislav Krejčí – Matt Doherty
Midfield: Jackson Tchatchoua – André – João Gomes – Fer López – David Møller Wolfe
Forwards: Hwang Hee-chan – Tolu Arokodare
