Liverpool's Injury Crisis: Can Wolves Exploit Flaws?

Liverpool is set to host struggling Wolves at Anfield, aiming for a third consecutive Premier League victory. However, the team is currently facing an unprecedented injury crisis, with several key players sidelined due to injury, suspension, or international duty. This situation leaves Liverpool potentially with only 11 fit senior players available for the match, creating a significant challenge for manager Arne Slot.

Wolves arrive at Anfield firmly rooted at the bottom of the league table, having accumulated just two points from seventeen games and suffering ten consecutive defeats. Despite their dismal form, the visitors may find encouragement in Liverpool's depleted squad and their own potential to exploit defensive frailties, particularly from set-pieces, an area where Liverpool has shown vulnerability throughout the season.

Florian Wirtz has been a bright spark for Liverpool, finding rhythm and influencing games, including providing an assist in a recent match. Meanwhile, Wolves are struggling offensively, with Jorgen Strand Larsen yet to hit his stride this season. Despite winning their last three matches across competitions, Liverpool's performances have been unconvincing, raising questions about their long-term sustainability.
