The Premier League returns to the fold this weekend with an important set of fixtures as Liverpool take on Wolves at Anfield on Saturday. Liverpool have blown hot and cold this season and will need to step up to the plate against Nuno Espirito Santo's side.
Wolves have been at their feisty best over the past two weeks and stunned Arsenal by a 2-1 margin in their previous game. The away side is currently in an impressive seventh place in the Premier League table and will want to pull off an upset this weekend.
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last five games in the Premier League but are behind Tottenham Hotspur in the EPL standings. The Merseyside giants have plenty of work to do to defend their Premier League crown and will need to win this game.
Liverpool vs Wolves Head-to-Head
Liverpool have an excellent record against Wolves and have won 10 games out of a total of 15 matches played between the two teams. Wolves have managed only three victories against Liverpool and will need to improve this weekend.
The previous meeting between the two teams earlier this year ended in a hard-fought 2-1 victory for Liverpool. Roberto Firmino scored a late winner on the day and will want to make an impact on this game.
