Liverpool vs Wolves Predicted Lineup: Predicted XI and Team News

Arne Slot will be shorthanded as the Reds face Wolves to close out 2025. Eight players are either injured, suspended or away from the club. The good news is that Jeremie Frimpong is fit and could start in Slot’s expected 4-2-3-1 formation, that has worked so well in recent games.

Replacing Szoboszlai

Dominik Szoboszlai has arguably been Liverpool’s best player throughout the season. He can also fill in at multiple positions on the pitch. However, he is on a yellow card suspension, so it is an even bigger blow to the club. The most likely choice on the wing is Federico Chiesa who would be making his first EPL start.

With Conor Bradley and Cody Gakpo still game-time decisions, Andy Robertson will likely see some time on the pitch after coming on as a sub in the last match. With Liverpool so thin, you could also see younger players like Calvin Ramsey make an appearance.

Tactical Verdict

If there is a team Liverpool can afford to experiment against, it’s the Wolves. They are at the bottom of the table and the only club without an EPL victory this season. Their 8 EPL goals this season are spread out among eight different players. 

Hugo Stays Hot

Having Hugo Ekitiké is huge because he has nearly equalled those numbers in just the last three games with five goals. With the Wolves struggling in attack, Liverpool should be aggressive to push for early goals and put the match away quickly.

Key Stat: Alisson is one clean sheet away from 100 in the EPL. I expect him to reach that milestone vs. Wolves.

Star Man: Hugo Ekitiké

Prediction: Liverpool 3 - 0 Wolves
