Wolves v Liverpool Preview
Wolves’ Form
Wolves have been a consistent Premier League side for the last seven seasons and last season finished 14th and reached an FA Cup Quarter-Final. However, during the summer they saw a lot of squad churn with Kilman, Neto and Podence all departing and the likes of Gomes, Lima, Doyle and Johnstone all signing. The new squad is yet to gel.
They may be rooted to the bottom of the table with a sole point, but their overall performances have been somewhat stronger with an Expected Points tally of 4.79 putting them 15th on the table. They’ve conceded 14 goals from an XG of 5.92 goals and have the lowest number of errors leading to goals in the league with only 3 suggesting they’ve been more than unlucky.
While this game constitutes a “free-hit” of sorts, the reality of the matter is they still need to put points on the table soon.

Liverpool’s Form
Liverpool, ahead of the season, were in the paradoxical position of being an unknown entity (with regards to the departure of Klopp and Arne Slot taking the helm) consisting of known entities with their squad being largely the same. Italian winger Federico Chiesa was the only notable summer addition. The post-Klopp era is well underway and the early signs under Slot look bright.
The Reds started their season like a duck to water under Slot including twelve points from their opening five league games. The only blot in their formbook to date is a 0-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest where they were somewhat unlucky having created an XG of 1.17 to their opponents 0.59. Another interesting stat ahead of this game is that 100% of Liverpool’s ten goals have come from open play.
Liverpool can go potentially top with a win which would be their fourth win in a row in all competitions and no draws yet this season.

Key Players To Watch
Matheus Cunha – Wolves
One of the few bright sparks in their poor start to the season has been Brazilian attacker Cunha (25) who has 2 Goals from 5 Premier League appearances with those goals coming in their defeats against Aston Villa and Chelsea.
Cunha is an exciting attacker with 2.19 Successful Take Ons, 4.19 Progressive Carries 32.7 Passes Attempted and 3.38 Progressive Passes which are stats in the 98th, 96th, 91st and 88th percentile while also offering strong defensive output when compared to other forwards.

Mohamed Salah – Liverpool
The man affectionately known as “The Egyptian King” by Liverpool fans might be approaching the “Twilight” of his career at (32) but he remains a constant menace for opposition defenders and has started to life this season as strong as ever with 4 goals and 4 assists from his opening 8 games of the season.
In two matches this season, Mohamed Salah already has two goals ✌️

Wolves v Liverpool Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Wolves 0-3 Liverpool
Wolves can consider themselves a little unfortunate to be bottom of the table and face one of the toughest tasks they could get right now to try and pick up some points at the weekend in an in-form Liverpool team.
Liverpool look strong this season, but ironically their sole slip-up to date came in a similar fixture in Forest which leads me to believe there may be question marks on Slot's ability to create against a low black.
That being said, I can see Liverpool winning this game with a goal or two to spare.
Best Bet: Liverpool Win + Under 3.5 Goals @ 6/4
