Liverpool vs Wolves: Score Prediction
Liverpool boast an impressive record against Wolves, winning five of their last six encounters. Despite a tough week, the Reds are formidable at Anfield, and Wolves’ defensive frailties (52 goals conceded this season) could spell trouble.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Wolves
