A golden opportunity for Liverpool
Although Liverpool might have already accepted that it would take a miracle in the race to defend their Premier League crown this season, Slot’s side are enjoying what has become a recent purple patch.
Last seen securing a 2-1 victory away at Tottenham, Saturday’s hosts have won all of their previous three appearances across all competitions and they are rightfully installed as a landslide favourite this weekend.
Collecting a heavyweight European scalp earlier in the month as they claimed a 1-0 win against Italian giants Inter Milan, Liverpool also open Saturday’s showdown sat within touching distance of skyrocketing their way into the Champions League spots.
Enjoying their longest winning run since the end of September, the former Feyenoord boss will be calling on his resurgent squad to make another statement here.

Ekitike to steal centre stage
Suffering a leg fracture against Tottenham last weekend and set for a lengthy stint on the sidelines, it is fair to say that Alexander Isak’s record-breaking summer switch to Anfield has been a disaster so far.
However, while the Swedish marksman might have endured a nightmare life to start with Slot’s side, Hugo Ekitike has quickly become one of Liverpool’s key performers so far this season.
Making an immediate impact after arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt over the summer, the French youngster once again found the net in north London last week and finds his stock at a red-hot high.
Including consecutive Premier League braces against Brighton and Leeds earlier in the month, Ekitike has now registered five goals in his previous three domestic appearances.
Clearly relishing life among England’s elite, the 23-year-old should be excited by the prospect of meeting a Wolves defence that has already shipped 37 goals and holds the worst defensive tally in the division.

Wolves already have one foot in the Championship
While Rob Edwards might have only arrived at Molineux last month, the former Middlesbrough boss is more than aware that he is searching for what would be an iconic Premier League miracle.
Shattering a string of long-standing records this season and now arguably regarded as the worst team in Premier League history, Saturday’s guests sit rock-bottom of the table.
In fact, the Old Gold have astonishingly put just two points on the board from any of their 17 Premier League appearances and they already have one foot firmly in the Championship.
Remarkably failing to claim a Premier League victory and opening Christmas Day sat 16 points adrift of safety, Wolves have also lost all of their previous 11 consecutive appearances across all competitions.
Likewise, losing all of their previous five straight showdowns against the reigning Premier League champions, Edwards’ disastrous squad are rightfully installed as a landslide underdog this weekend.
