Liverpool XI vs Wolves: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Premier League | OneFootball

Reds continue Champions League quest with first of two Black Country visits

Liverpool will be without summer signing Florian Wirtz for their first of two trips to Wolves this week.

The Reds lost their attacking midfielder in the warm-up ahead of their 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest to a back injury.

The German has now been ruled out for another two games by Arne Slot, who hopes to have him back for their games next week against Galatasaray and Tottenham.

Liverpool’s four long-term absentees remain sidelined for this midweek fixture, with Alexander Isak the only one that could feasibly return to action before the campaign’s conclusion.

The Swede is out with a broken leg that he suffered against Tottenham before Christmas, while Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni all sit out.

That means that Slot’s team selection should be relatively easy to predict, with right-back the only position that could be tricky to call.

Gomez’s return meant Szoboszlai could play in his natural engine-room berth, while Jeremie Frimpong returned from injury off the bench.

Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk will continue in the heart of defence, while Milos Kerkez has made the left-back position his own once more ahead of Andy Robertson.

Alexis Mac Allister will partner Ryan Gravenberch in the double pivot with Szoboszlai ahead of them, and Cody Gakpo will play off the left after breaking his scoring drought last time out.

Mohamed Salah and Ekitike will complete the front three.

Predicted Liverpool XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Frimpong, Konate, van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Ekitike

Injured: Wirtz, Isak, Endo, Bradley, Leoni
