The Reds started the game at home to Wolves looking fresh and determined to put Wednesday's disappointing equaliser against Everton behind them and they did so in fine fashion when Luis Diaz bundled over the line in the 15th-minute.
It almost seemed to be game over when Mohamed Salah converted from the spot to net for the 23rd time this season.
But that was far from the case with Wolves debutant Marshall Munetsi forcing Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson into an excellent one-on-one save.
The alarm bells were then ringing for Liverpool, who had a goal chalked off for a offside and a second penalty rightfully overturned, as Matheus Cunha superbly curled into the bottom corner to make it 2-1 with over 20 minutes to play.
Wataru Endo's cameo from the bench was vital for the Reds as they hung on in the final minutes with the Japan international winning vital interceptions and disrupting numerous Wolves attacks.
With Aston Villa to come on Wednesday night, Liverpool can move 10 points clear of the Gunners before making the short trip to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City.

"They got better and better, we got worse and worse. We had to show a different mentality which we did and got it over the line.
"In a season like this we have played so many great games, but in a season you want to win something you have to win the difficult ones as well when you are not playing your best. We were so close on Wednesday, this time we did survive.
"If you want to achieve something it is not only about bringing the ball out from the back or Mo [Salah] scoring goals, it is also about defending."
On the title race: "If you look at the last few seasons it has mostly been a battle between two teams. As things stand now it mostly looks like between us and Arsenal. I believe they have a 15-point game unbeaten run and I think at the start of that we were seven points clear of them and we still are now.
"So, it tells you how well they are doing but also how well we are doing."
Image source, Getty ImagesLiverpool's Virgil van Dijk, has been speaking to MOTD after today's victory: "We'd love to dominate for the full 90 minutes but it is the Premier League and Wolves can punish you and create dangerous moments against you. It says a lot we kept fighting and kept going and got the three points.
"Today showed at times that when we have the ball you can exploit it as well. Cunha was a danger man for them today we had to be aware of. Unfortunately he scored but we kept them to that.
"I definitely give them credit the way they went one v one most of the times and how they found the free man between the lines.
"At times we were sloppy as well and we couldn't keep the ball as well as we can at times."
Image source, Getty ImagesLiverpool have won 30 of their 40 matches across all competitions this season, more than any other team in Europe's big five leagues. Only in 2019-20 (37) and 1982-83 (39) have they reached 30 victories in a season in fewer games.
Liverpool have scored two or more goals in 17 successive matches at Anfield in all competitions - their joint-longest run of scoring two or more at home since joining the Football League in 1893 (also 17 from February to November 2019).
This was the first time on record (since 2003-04) that Liverpool failed to attempt a shot in the second half of a Premier League game at Anfield. In fact, it was the first time in this period that the Reds went an entire half of football without attempting a shot in a home league match.

Listen back to full match commentaries on BBC Sounds:
Wolves got a big win over Villa in their last league match and I watched them beat Blackburn in the FA Cup too.
I cannot see Vitor Pereira's side getting anything at Anfield, though.
Liverpool have to bounce back after conceding an equaliser so late on against Everton but I do expect them to react positively here.
They might not have manager Arne Slot or his assistant Sipke Hulshoff on the bench after their red cards on Wednesday, and this is a tricky spell for them with away games against Aston Villa and Manchester City coming up next week.
A lot of people might be thinking this might be their blip, but I don't think what happened in the derby is going to faze Liverpool.
There are 14 games left so they are not in the home straight yet, and they still have a seven-point cushion at the top.
In many ways, their players might use the dropped points at Goodison Park as a motivation to see off Wolves, and I am pretty confident they will get back on track straight away.
I am going for Mohammed Salah to score and Liverpool to win comfortably.
Sutton's prediction: 3-0
