Wolves defender Yerson Mosquera may miss the remainder of the season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament against Aston Villa.

Fellow centre-back Toti Gomes sat out last weekend's defeat with a minor hamstring issue and will be given a late fitness test.

Head coach Gary O'Neil also says a number of unnamed players have been unwell in the build-up to this game, leaving their availability in doubt.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has resumed training following a muscle problem and, barring an adverse reaction, is set to return to the starting line-up.

Harvey Elliott remains sidelined by a fractured foot.

Match facts

Head-to-head

  • Wolves have lost 16 Premier League games versus Liverpool, more than against any other opponent.

  • The Reds have won 14 of the past 15 top-flight meetings, with the exception a 3-0 defeat at Molineux in February 2023.

  • The Merseysiders have kept a clean sheet in 13 of their 20 Premier League fixtures away to Wolves.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

  • They are winless in five Premier League matches (D1, L4) – they have had to wait longer for a first victory just twice before (seven fixtures in 2003-04 and six in 2019-20).

  • Their total of one point from five fixtures equals their worst start to a league campaign, set in 1926-27, 1964-65 and 2003-04. They lost their sixth league match in all three of those seasons.

  • Gary O’Neil’s side have failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 consecutive league matches, the longest current run in the Premier League.

  • Wolves’ tally of 14 goals conceded is their highest at this stage of a top-flight season since 1970.

  • They have lost their past two league games despite leading at half-time in both. No team in Premier League history has been beaten in three consecutive matches when ahead at the break.

  • Since the start of last season, Matheus Cunha has been involved in more Premier League goals for Wolves than any other player, scoring 14 and assisting seven.

Liverpool

  • Liverpool have won five of their last six Premier League games, keeping a clean sheet in each victory. They had conceded in each of their previous 10 such fixtures before this run.

  • The Reds have conceded just one top-flight goal this season, fewer than any other side.

  • They can become the fifth team to win their opening three Premier League away fixtures without conceding a single goal, emulating Chelsea in 2005, Manchester City in 2015, Aston Villa in 2020 and Arsenal in 2023.

  • Luis Diaz has been involved in six goals in his last four league appearances, scoring five and assisting one. He has scored a brace in two of his last three for the Reds, having netted multiple goals in just one of his first 69 Premier League games.

  • Mohamed Salah scored in his first competitive appearance away to Wolves in 2018 but has failed to net in all seven of his subsequent games at Molineux.
