Liverpool have made a pair of changes ahead of their matchup this afternoon with Wolves. Joel Matip will start in place of the injured Ibrahima Konaté while Darwin Núñez will start up top in place of Harvey Elliott, who normally plays in the midfield. With the starting nod, Mohamed Salah also makes his milestone 200th EPL appearance in a Reds’ shirt.
For Wolverhampton, it is a bit of a surprise that leading goalscorer Daniel Podence will start the match on the bench, but maybe manager Mario Lemina is looking for a spark from other players.

LFC Globe Verdict
It is clear that Jürgen Klopp is more offensive-minded match. I think this is the first time all season that he has paired Salah Cody Gakpo and Núñez together. That has the potential to be a lethal trio, Of course, that means Harvey Elliott will have to come off the bench after playing so well of late, but that is a role he is used to, It will be interesting to see how this Starting XI will play on the field.
