Dave Edwards brought great energy to the Wolves midfield for a decade and still watches the club intently, so his opinion on the players doing his old job is well worth our attention.

He makes a good point when he notes in the Express and Star this week, external that his "criticism of Wolves in the past is they have had a lot of similar players. Even Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves – two of the best players to play for the club in the modern era – are two similar and very technical players".

There's something in that. Wolves have had a lot of high-quality footballers in recent years, and you can’t get far in the Premier League without plenty of players with great technique. What they didn’t always have was a spark, some variety, something unpredictable. Diogo Jota gave them that sharp edge for a while, and occasionally Adama Traore created not just unpredictability, but chaos. Too often in recent seasons though, Wolves could be tidy but uninspiring. The old gold faded to beige.

Most of the big stories around Wolves in the last few months have been about players leaving, but this weekend we can focus on those who have arrived. Four players joined the squad in deadline week, and Wolves fans will hope to see them all for the first time at some stage against Liverpool.

The one that most intrigues me at this stage is Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, pursued right up to the close of business on 1 September. A slow burner by modern standards - although the French top-flight is hardly hiding away - he has been pedalling hard in the Strasbourg midfield for four years, and for Lens in the second tier for a couple of years before that.

The basic facts of his career record do not mark him out as an obvious target for an eight-figure fee, but I am swayed by Edwards’ scouting report: "very different to what Wolves have in the squad… raw pace and ability to shift the ball and move quickly… he will run beyond the forward line and into the channels… Wolves have not had a player of his mould for a while". On that very specific feature, Edwards would know.

With the promising Tommy Doyle also added to the group, Gary O’Neil’s midfield options have suddenly multiplied – not just adding two more players, but many potential combinations. Perhaps opponents will start to find it harder to crack their code.

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom says Tottenham will "show their quality" but insists his side will play "with no fear".

"I have enjoyed watching [Spurs] so far," said Heckingbttom. "It has been interesting having a good look at how they have gone about their work.

"They have got undoubted threats and we are going to see that. We cannot go there hoping they will underperform.

"They have got players that have not been quiet in any games and we will expect them to show their quality.

"But I'd like to think we can cause them problems."

I love [Liverpool's] midfield. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have been the stand outs. Szoboszlai has everything, similarly to Jude Bellingham. He reminds me of a young Steven Gerrard.

I am really impressed with how they have performed and there is a really positive vibe around the camp.

It's a difficult time for Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and the club currently.

Winger Antony has taken a leave of absence following assault allegations made against him.

Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho is training away from the squad due to an internal disciplinary issue, after a public falling out with Ten Hag.

Midfielder Mason Mount and defender Raphael Varane are both currently sidelined with injury too.

Fulham have only lost one of their past eight Premier League fixtures against newly-promoted opposition at Craven Cottage (W3, D4).

But Marco Silva's side have conceded 10 top-flight goals this season, the second worst record in the division behind Burnley.

They have also faced 33 shots on target in the league this season, more than any other team.

Luton are hoping to avoid defeat in their opening four league matches. They have only lost their first four twice in their history.

Carlton Morris has been involved in both of Luton's Premier League goals so far, with a goal and an assist.

Wolves

Wolves manager Gary O'Neil: "Liverpool coming is always a big occasion so looking forward to the game today.

"Hwang Hee-Chan has scored a couple for us this year. He has taken his chances well and I felt he may add something for us today.

"Liverpool are a good side. I've watched their first four league games and they were excellent.

"They are in a very good spot this year and I think they will be very close to the top of the league.

"Of course with Trent [Alexander-Arnold] and Virgil [Van Dijk] out you would rather play them without them."

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "We have to see, it's all early days for all the teams. Things cannot be settled yet so you have to work really hard to get game ideas on the pitch."

On his team changes: "The South Americans came back really late. We need them as substitutes. That's the two offensive changes.

"Ibrahima Konate only came back two days ago, we could have forced it, but Jarell Quansah came on twice and did really well. We tust him so I hope he can enjoy it."

On Andy Robertson being captain: "He is a really important player and plays pretty much all the time. I remember everything about it when we signed him, in my living room.

"We were talking about football and the boy he was then, to the man he is now. It's a really nice journey and I'm happy to be a part of it."

Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota also start, with Darwin Nunez, Ibrahima Konate and Luis Diaz among the substitutes

We'll get confirmation of team news in a few minutes but here's what we know already.

Liverpool will need to make a few changes in defence with Trent Alexander-Arnold out with a hamstring injury and Virgil van Dijk still serving a suspension.

The good news is that France centre-back Ibrahima Konate returned to training this week and may be available for selection.

Meanwhile, Wolves midfielder Tommy Doyle – who made a deadline day move from Manchester City - could make his debut after recovering from a minor knee issue.

Doyle appeared in a behind-closed-doors friendly during the international break.
