Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
36mins: Wolves pick up their first yellow car of the game. It goes to Stefan Bajcetic for a high boot.
20:38
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
25mins: Liverpool earned themselves a corner too – with the ball being played into the middle of the box. Sa managed to punch it away but it fell to Fabinho. However, he had his shot blocked.
20:37
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
34mins: The referee has just had a word with Salah after he pushed into Moutinho. The ref wasn’t happy as this had a knock-on affect with the Portuguese midfielder landing on Sa. Quite funny to be honest…
20:34
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
33mins: The crowd are pretty mellow this evening. Usually Anfield is bouncing under the flood lights but the fans seem a little deflated from their team’s performance.
20:33
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
32mins: Yep, called it. The camera just turned to Jurgen Klopp and he does not look happy. The German manager is waving his arms around on the sideline and shouting at his players. I’m guessing he will have a lot to say during the break.
20:32
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
31mins: Not a long going on at the moment. Wolves will be happy with their first-half performance, while I think Jurgen Klopp will be wanting more from his Liverpool side.
Even turning up the intensity in their passing and their willingness to go forwards will help Liverpool increase their number of outcomes.
20:30
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
29mins: We’re almost 30 minutes into the game and although Liverpool have seen more of the possession, it is actually Wolves who have had more shots. Wolves have also created more big chances than Jurgen Klopp’s team too. It’s the devil in the detail they are lacking.
20:27
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
25mins: Hopefully that break in play won’t have killed the momentum. It’s been a really exciting start to the game and it would be great to see that continue.
20:25
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
24mins: Yep, that’s it for Bueno this evening. He’s been replaced by Ait-Nouri – meaning Wolves have used their first sub in the opening 24 minutes of the game. Never ideal but needs must and all that.
20:24
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
22mins: Hmm… it’s not looking good. The physio just signalled to the bench that Bueno needed to be subbed. Hopefully it’s not anything too serious. You hate to see players hurt themselves like this.
20:23
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
21mins: Bueno has gone down injured. The Wolves medical staff are on the pitch treating his leg. Looks like he sustained the injury while defending Salah a moment ago. Hopefully he’s able to continue.
20:22
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
20mins: Liverpool are making the most of their flanks now. They are getting a lot of success in the wide area and finding opportunities to cut inside once reaching the final third.
20:21
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
20mins: Chance for Liverpool! Salah cuts inside and crosses the ball to Diogo Jota, who flicks it beyond Darwin Nunez and towards the bottom corner. However, it didn’t have enough on it.
20:16
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
16mins: And… the first yellow card of the game has come out. That didn’t take long did it?
It’s Stefan Bajcetic who goes in the book after fouling Nunes. The card seemed a little soft to be honest but he did prevent a clear counter attack from taking place.
20:15
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
14mins: Neves picked up the ball in the middle of the pitch and played in Jimenez. However, Van Dijk was quick to react and break down play before the forward had a chance to shoot.
20:13
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
12mins: Darwin Nunez got on the end of Konstantinos Tsimikas’ corner but could keep it on target. Instead, the ball went flying past the post. Wasted opportunity…
20:12
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
10mins: Chance for Liverpool! Fabinho did well to pick up the ball on the edge of the Wolves box. However, he couldn’t find a connection and his weak ball into the danger area was cleared by Dawson
20:11
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
8mins: The bar has been set high from this opening few minutes. Both teams are showing some real intensity. It could be a case of who can maintain this pace for the longest…
20:07
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
6mins: Wolves earn themselves the first corner of the game and fire it into the danger area. The ball spilled out to Craig Dawson – who tried to execute a bicycle kick that went just wide of the post.
20:05
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
3mins: Chance for Wolves! What a start to the game this has been. Wolves are piling the pressure on and even tested Alisson in the opening three minutes of the game. However, the Liverpool keeper did well to push Moutinho’s effort behind.
20:04
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
2mins: Liverpool have their first attempt of the game. Diogo Jota unleashed a rocket towards Jose Sa but the Wolves keeper did well to clear it away from the danger.
20:03
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
1min: Wolves have gone with Neves ahead of Moutinho and Lemina with Sarabia on the right-hand-side. Meanwhile, Nunes will be looking to cause some damage on the left.
20:00
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
And… just like that, we are underway! It is Wolves who kick the proceedings off this evening as they look to secure their second league victory over Jurgen Klopp’s side.
19:58

19:33
Programme notes from Jordan Henderson…
Henderson said: “It was less than a month ago that we last met Wolves on what was a day to forget for us and one to remember for them, so the fact that we play again tonight gives us an early opportunity to put a few things right.
“The points we dropped at Molineux a few weeks ago were lost on the day and can’t ever be got back. Nor can we change the record books, which will always show a 3-0 win for Wolves.
“What we can change, though, is our own performance because the last thing any of us would want is a repeat of a display which fell a long way short of the standards that we have set ourselves.
“This isn’t about revenge. I always think it’s a mistake when the word ‘revenge’ is used in football. It is about us showing what we are about against an opponent which has shown what it is capable of.
“I have nothing but respect for what Julen Lopetegui and his players did on that day and it is because of this respect that I know exactly how well we will have to perform if we want to get a better result this time around.
“This has been a tough season for us, there is no getting away from that, but it is definitely worth repeating that it hasn’t been for a lack of effort that results have not been as strong as in recent seasons.
“Even when we lost at Wolves, I don’t think anyone left the stadium thinking we could have worked any harder – but they would have definitely believed we could have played better and rightly so.
“Thankfully, to a larger degree, this has happened in the Premier League games we have played since then. Our form is not perfect and there are definitely areas that we need to continue to work on and improve, but seven points from nine from a Merseyside derby and tough away games at Newcastle and Crystal Palace is never a bad return.
“Now we need to make the most of this improvement and take it up another couple of levels.”
19:27
Mo Salah is thriving at home…
Mohamed Salah has scored in his last two home league games against Wolves. Therefore, he is just two goals short of equalling Robbie Fowler’s record of 128 Premier League goals for Liverpool.
19:24
The players are out on the pitch…

Jurgen Klopp backs Liverpool to make top four…
Klopp said: “If there is a club who can do it, I really think it is us.” The Liverpool boss went on to add: “It helps because it was us, so you don’t have to tell them a story from another club.
“We have a lot of stories to tell about what went really well in the last few years. History is not allowed to hinder you, but you cannot constantly rely on it. I really see we have the right mindset. Now we have to go; we have to do it.
“I really think we are ready. If there is a club who can do it, I really think it is us, honestly. All the things we achieved in the last years we achieved together.
“Nothing would have happened either without the team or without the crowd. We have a future together and we will strike back in general, but now we have to make sure that we really squeeze out of this season everything we can get.
“The obvious spots are not too far away from us and we will see what we can pick up, but there is no alternative to results. We need results, and for results you need performances.”
