Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been speaking to Match of the Day after today's victory: "It’s always nice to win, especially away. The first 15/20 minutes weren't great. It was a real tough start for us but eventually we took control of the game."

"No it wasn’t good, also in the final minutes of the game. The bits in between, I thought we did really well. You also have to give credit to the gameplan of Gary O’Neil. Although it sounds weird, he’s done really well over the last six games.

"He has a really good game plan for every opponent and he it was the same for us today. After the first 15/20 minutes we took more control over the game and we scored the goal as well."

On Ait-Nouri's goal: "The goal we conceded was definitely avoidable and it was unnecessary. It came at a bad time because we had total control over the game.

"By conceding this way, they came back into the game and the good thing for us, is we immediately scored to make it 2-1. With only one goal making the difference, it makes it a difficult game until the end."

On being top: "Feels good, you want to be up there but it doesn’t tell me that much at the moment. If you look at Wolves they are down in the table but they played much better than that today.

"After 19 games, it’ll tell me something but not after six."

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has been speaking to Sky Sports following today's win: "Wolves were very good today, they started really well and the first half was a little bit tough for us.

"After we scored, we then had a little bit more control of the game. Then they came back and thankfully we got the second. It was a great battle until the end and thankfully we won and got three points."

Everton have lost just one of their last 20 Premier League matches against Crystal Palace (W10 D9), a 3-1 loss at Selhurst Park in December 2021. It is the first time that the Toffees have won a match after conceding the opening goal for the first time since October 2022, ending a 35-match streak in the process.

Everton winger Dwight McNeil has been speaking about how big today's victory is: "Massive, especially at home, to get three points on the board. It’s been a tough start for us.

"We played well in some games but never took our chances but I think today, especially in that second half we defended really well. Now we’ve just got to step on and take it forward into the game next week."

On their performances: "We’ve been playing well but the results haven’t been showing that. We know the most important thing is winning games.

"First half we weren’t quite on it but I thought in the second half we were on it from the start. We got the three points we know we needed and now its about building that confidence and belief as a group going forward. It’s been a tough start for us.

"We played well in some games but never took our chances but I think today, especially in that second half we defended really well. No we’ve just got to step on and take it forward into the game next week."

Everton boss Sean Dyche has been speaking about his emotions after today's win: "Very pleased, a lot of hard work in the turnaround. We conceded a soft goal and we know we’ve got to correct that and we’ve done so well from that kind of situation. First phase and second phase set pieces.

"The reaction was superb, particularly second half to take the game on. Lots of work to be done of course but it's another restart for us."

On how the team were feeling: "When you haven’t got that first win you feel nervous. Then you go 1-0 down, the stadium becomes awkward for the players.

"I spoke to them in the second half about being someone who makes a difference. It’s every person that counts, not just one.

"I thought the feel of the second half was better, not just the quality. Dwight McNeil popping up with two goals for two different reasons and some good energy in our play and the big moments went for us today."

Boss Arne Slot insisted this week Liverpool are yet to prove themselves as title contenders.

The solitary defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield stands out and shows the Reds are not perfect.

But they have recovered with three straight wins, including a comeback victory at AC Milan in the Champions League and Wednesday's 5-1 thumping of West Ham in the Carabao Cup.

That defeat to Forest will be one of the reasons for Slot's cautiousness in talking up any title hopes.

This is despite the 46-year-old making one of the best starts to a reign in Liverpool history while a fifth clean sheet would earn a club record of conceding once in their opening six league games.

Victory at Wolves will be expected - especially if the hosts are weakened by the virus which has been in their camp this week - and if the Reds continue their form Slot will have a hard time denying their title credentials.

Seven matches make up Saturday's Premier League action, and we will bring you every moment.

BBC Radio 5 Live commentaries:

• Arsenal v Leicester

• Wolves v Liverpool

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.

For week six, he takes on Maximo Park singer Paul Smith, whose latest album, Stream Of Life, is out on Friday.

Wolves host Liverpool at 17:30 on Saturday.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Wolves have not been as bad as their results suggest but I suspect the fans' patience is wearing a bit thin with their manager, Gary O'Neil.

That is slightly unfortunate, and unfair, because overall he did well last season, but the way Wolves ended the last campaign poorly and have started this one the same way does not help him, clearly.

This game probably won't do much for his cause, either. It is hard to look past a Liverpool win, based on their firepower and their strength off the bench.

They wiped the floor with Bournemouth last week and, while this will be closer, I still think Liverpool will win it.

Smith's prediction: 0-2

This is going to be harder for Liverpool than you might expect on paper against the bottom team. Results have not gone Wolves' way but they have been playing OK and they will put up a good fight here.

There is something that makes me think they can get a draw but we are in the predictions game here and I have to go with percentages.

For week six, he takes on Maximo Park singer Paul Smith, whose latest album, Stream Of Life, is out on Friday.

Everton host Palace at 15:00 on Saturday.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Crystal Palace are a very capable side on their day, but they have not been playing well enough recently.

Everton boss Sean Dyche definitely needs a good result, and I am slightly worried about the atmosphere at Goodison Park if it turns ugly for whatever reason, and how the players handle that.

I keep going for Everton home wins, and being wrong, so I am not making that mistake again. They keep taking the lead but it feels like they need to get Jarrad Branthwaite fit again if they are going to hold out.

I actually fancy Everton here but without Branthwaite at the back I am not so sure they have got a clean sheet in them and, on that basis, I am going to say Palace will get a point.

Smith's prediction: 1-1

Palace have looked bright on occasions without beating anyone, while Everton have gone in front in games and done well without seeing it out either - they have an attacking threat but they are fragile defensively and have completely crumbled in a couple of games.

Their confidence will be low, so I’d say Palace have a good chance of nicking a win, but then neither team have looked very convincing to me.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is becoming an expert at handling questions about the contract situations of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.

The key Reds trio will be out of contract next summer and Slot was already smiling at his news conference on Friday as he was asked about how disappointing it would be if he only got to work with them for one season.

“You are just trying to find another way of asking me [about the issue],” said Slot, whose side are at Wolves (17:30 BST) on Saturday.

He added: “I’m very happy that these three players are in my team at the moment.

“There are a lot of games to be played in this season, especially in the upcoming week and weeks so I’m very happy that I can select them and let’s see what the future brings.”

Slot talked about how he is continually learning about his players and he’ll find out more about them in the immediate future with the trip to Molineux.

The defeat by Nottingham Forest at home means he thinks his side have had a “good start, not a perfect one” and Slot will be hoping his side avoid another “setback” at Wolves.
