Premier League: Liverpool vs Wolverhampton preview

Five days after their historic triumph over Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, Liverpool will try to go against the odds once again and maybe lift the Premier League title with a victory over Wolverhampton at Anfield on Sunday. However, this time winning the trophy does not depend entirely on them, in order for that to happen Brighton should avoid defeat against league leaders Manchester City at the same time. The Reds won the reverse fixture 2-0 in December with goals from Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, but Wolves defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the FA Cup in January. Overall, Wolves have won two of the last six direct matches against Liverpool, both in the FA Cup. Liverpool have one last Premier League battle to fight before preparing for the UEFA Champions League final on June 1st. This week's 4-0 victory over Barcelona at Anfield will surely be remembered by the fans for decades to come, the Reds turned the tie upside down and deservedly knocked out the Blaugrana. Something of similar proportions should happen in order for them to win the Premier League title, beating Wolves doesn't seem that hard but Brighton might need a miracle to avoid defeat against Man City. Backup striker Divock Origi scored twice against Barcelona and he might be given another start if Roberto Firmino fails to recover from injury. Adam Lallana and Naby Keita remain sidelined, while Jordan Henderson and Andrew Robertson are injury doubts. Wolverhampton have nothing left to play for in this match, they have already secured a prestigious seventh place in the Premier League table and they would even qualify for the UEFA Europa League if Manchester City win the FA Cup. Wolves had remarkable results against the Premier League top six teams this season, they defeated Liverpool in the FA Cup and they also beat Manchester City in the league. They have nothing to lose in this match but they have nothing to gain either, so it remains to be seen whether just pride could give them a strong enough motivation. Probable line-ups: Liverpool: Alisson - Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Milner - Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum - Salah, Origi, Mane Wolves: Patricio - Bennett, Coady, Boly - Doherty, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Jonny - Jimenez, Jota My prediction: Liverpool to win 2-0, it should be a routine victory for the Reds. Here are the odds for the match at Bet365: Liverpool win - 1.30 Draw - 6.00 Wolves win - 11.00
