Sutton's predictions: Liverpool v Wolvespublished at 11:02
11:02
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.

Liverpool have won 15 of their past 16 Premier League meetings with Wolves, with the exception being a 3-0 loss at Molineux in February 2023.
Wolves have lost all seven of their Premier League away games against sides starting the day top of the table. Only Sheffield Wednesday (9), Bournemouth (8) and Watford (8) have visited the league leaders more times in the competition without managing to avoid defeat.
Cody Gakpo has scored in each of his past six Premier League starts at Anfield, scoring seven goals. Only three different Liverpool players have scored in seven or more successive home starts in the competition: Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez (both eight) and Mohamed Salah twice (seven and eight).

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against league leaders Liverpool (kick-off 14:00).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Pereira confirmed there are no fresh injury concerns within the squad.
On January signings Marshall Munetsi and Nasser Djiga: "They have the skills in their positions to help the team. We have a good team, and they are good players. They are committed and focused on the work, and this is what we need."
Pereira said he will not be settling to play for a draw against Liverpool and instead will look to take all three points: "I'm not thinking about going there to defend for 90 minutes and take a point. I'm looking to prepare the team to play our way with our quality, and to get the best possible result."
He also reacted to comments that Matheus Cunha is a "quality player" from Liverpool boss Arne Slot: "I'm very happy for him - he's a top player. He's my player so I will enjoy him playing for us with his qualities."
The Portuguese boss believes that the pressure Wolves are currently facing in the table is what he needs in order to thrive as a manager: "If you look through my career, I've worked in clubs where pressure is day by day. I need this pressure. Without pressure, I cannot be myself."
Wolves finally 'getting in tune'published at 16:56 12 February

Sunday was a good day. Enough Wolves fans set their alarm clocks early to fill their designated end of Ewood Park - a significant show of faith for a game that was clearly not the club's most urgent priority, and they could have stayed at home and watched for free.
A strong Wolves selection rewarded that support with a vigorous performance. Although they were a little fortunate not to fall behind to a goal ruled to be offside, it felt for the most part as if Wolves were in charge of the game, and they made light of the difficult conditions to win handily.
The team looked like it was enjoying the cup, not enduring it.
Matheus Cunha in particular seemed fired up. It was his first game since he signed a new contract, declaring his willingness to stay - for now at least. There were even times in the first half where you wondered if he was too determined to prove his commitment, trying to beat Blackburn all by himself.
If there was one Wolves player who could have done that, it was him, but his goal was a stylishly finished team effort. Much better, anyway, to have too much Cunha than - as some Wolves fans had felt before the transfer window deadline - not enough. The star of Wolves' show is back on song.
Most of all, for the second week running, it felt like there was a plan and everyone was following it. Perhaps this reflects a couple of uninterrupted weeks on the training ground. Time to drill in the basics which a manager might normally want to cover in pre-season, but evidently the instructions are being heard.
Wolves' transfer window activity, though mostly done late, now shows evidence of a strategy too.
Emmanuel Agbadou seems much more settled in the centre of the back three than out on the left, and will surely stay put there. Vitor Pereira said he wanted new players with a physical presence and, like Agbadou, Marshall Munetsi was certainly that when introduced in the second half, shuttling from box to box.
At last, Wolves are getting in tune and, for the first time in maybe a year, it feels like they are composing, not busking.
The next few weeks are still going to be difficult, but now you can make out the beat they are marching to.

Wolves continued their FA Cup journey with a composed victory over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. While Championship opposition might not seem threatening on paper, these fixtures often deliver upsets - just ask Liverpool. Under Vitor Pereira, however, Wolves are showcasing resilience and confidence that spark belief, excitement, and genuine hope.
An emerging star of the side is Emmanuel Agbadou. The £16m signing from Reims has been nothing short of transformative, solidifying a previously fragile backline. His composure shone through, completing 64 of 72 passes at an impressive 89%, according to Sofascore.
Agbadou exudes calm authority and, in just six appearances, has already picked up Wolves' Player of the Month award for January. Praised by club legend Steve Bull as "an unbelievable player," Agbadou is proving far more than a great signing - he looks like a genuine game-changer.
Alongside him, Toti Gomes has thrived under Pereira's stewardship. Toti has featured in four games under Pereira, and Wolves have kept a clean sheet in every one of them. Together, these two defenders have restored calm and solidity to Wolves' backline, providing a platform for growth and giving fans every reason to dream big.
Midfielder Marshall Munetsi also made an impressive debut, bursting into the box at every opportunity and on another day could have got a hat-trick. His style of play brought something different to this Wolves team and early signs hinted at exciting potential.
Pereira's respect for the FA Cup is evident. By fielding a strong line-up with only necessary changes, he has made challenging away fixtures feel routine. His philosophy and winning mentality have reinvigorated Wolves, proving that survival in the league and a cup run are not conflicting ambitions but complementary pursuits.
With the competition wide open, Wolves fans can't help but ask - why not Wembley? One more favourable draw, and we are one step closer.
Matheus Cunha said, he's dreaming of Wembley - and after all, dreaming is for free.

Cunha release clause around £60mpublished at 12:16 10 February

Wolves forward Matheus Cunha has a release clause in his contract and it is now known to be valued at around £62.5m.
The inclusion of a release clause, which can be activated in the summer, was key in getting the Brazil international, 25, to extend his contract until 2029.
Wolves are now in control of any potential sale with a near-guaranteed sum of €75m which will go up or down depending on exchange rates between now and the summer.
There is no reduced release clause available should Wolves get relegated.
Arsenal, Spurs and Manchester United have previously been linked with a move but those claims have not been verified by BBC Sport.
Cunha has 12 goals and four assists in 25 games across all competitions this season.

We asked for your views on Wolves' FA Cup match against Blackburn.
Here are some of your comments:
Kieran: What a performance. Glad Cunha is staying. Munetsi looks a good signing. Play like this in the Premier League and we will survive.
Mike: Professional performance - glad to see we played a strong team to try to get some momentum. Possibly lucky with the disallowed goal but we took our chances well and didn't really allow Blackburn any opportunities once we were in front.
Andy: Great to see Vitor only make a few changes and go out to win the game. Cunha excellent again and Rodrigo Gomes' energy makes me wish he started more games!
Allan: Did enough to win. Put a strong side out and you always thought that they had plenty in hand to beat Blackburn. If Blackburn's disallowed goal would have stood, it could have made Wolves up their game but all in all a comfortable win.
Geoff: We were on top for most of the game thanks to Vitor actually wanting a cup run. We did what we needed to as we did against Villa last week. If we continue to do that every game, we will be OK. And, if Vitor continues to respect the cup, who knows? If we care, we can go far.
Sutton's predictions: Blackburn v Wolvespublished at 19:12 8 February
19:12 8 February
I am co-commentating at this game for the iPlayer, and I am really looking forward to going back to Ewood Park.
People there always tell me the great Alan Shearer was lucky to play alongside me when we won the Premier League together, and I know Al says the same himself regularly too.
This is one of the ties where you think there is a chance of an upset, because of what Wolves boss Vitor Pereira might do - does he go full pelt, or rest a few?
Pereira will make some changes, I am sure of that, because staying in the Premier League will be his priority.
Rovers manager John Eustace has a different dilemma because I bet he would love to shuffle his squad to help their play-off bid, but he does not have the players to do it.
Eustace has done a phenomenal job to have them in and around the top six, despite not being given any help in terms of signings.
Scoring goals is Rovers' problem - Yuki Ohashi is out injured and Makhtar Gueye is not very prolific - and Andreas Weimann is their top scorer this season with eight.
They are solid enough, though, with the likes of Callum Brittain, who has probably been Blackburn's best player this season, alongside Dom Hyam and Danny Batth at the back. They have all been colossal.
Getting Lewis Travis back from injury has been important too. He is their real driving force in the middle of the park.
As I say, I am not sure what the Wolves team selection will be like, but Pereira might want to build on last weekend's win over Aston Villa.
Based on that, and the fact Blackburn play some good stuff but are not ruthless enough, this is another tie which could go the distance.

Wolves are in talks with Craig Dawson to cancel the defender's contract at Molineux.
The centre-back has been told he does not feature in boss Vitor Pereira's plans and has been left out of Wolves' Premier League squad.
Dawson has six months left on his contract and there were tentative talks on deadline day with Leicester City over a swap deal for Conor Coady.
Wolves signed centre-backs Emmanuel Agbadou from Lens and Nasser Djiga from Red Star Belgrade in the transfer window, pushing Dawson further down the pecking order.
"I gave the information in advance to the club that if we bring in another centre-back, I will not have space for Craig in the squad," Pereira said:
"This is something that I spoke with the club (about) for a long time. I had a conversation with the player and I respect the player a lot, and I respect his career, but his profile is not the profile that I'm looking to build the team around."
Dawson, 34, has made 61 appearances, scoring twice, since joining from West Ham two years ago.
Goodman and Kelly relive dramatic FA Cup penalty shootout published at 16:54 7 February

Thirty years on from Wolves' incredible FA Cup win over then-Premier League side Sheffield Wednesday at Molineux, former Wolves forwards Don Goodman and David Kelly share their memories of the fourth-round tie.
Having drawn 0-0 at Hillsborough thanks to Paul Jones' late penalty save from Chris Bart-Williams, Graham Taylor's side drew 1-1 against with the Owls at Molineux.
Wolves then came from 3-0 down to win a dramatic penalty shootout, with Chris Waddle - who had missed for England in a semi-final shootout at the 1990 World Cup - among the Wednesday players failing to score from the spot.
Goodman and Kelly both found the net with their penalties, with Goodman scoring the decisive spotkick, and they relived the tie as part of BBC Radio WM's "My Sporting Memory" series.
