Liverpool are taking on Wolves at Molineux today as the Premier League returns following the international break.
Jurgen Klopp’s side enjoyed an impressive start to the season, winning three and drawing one of their opening four games to find themselves third in the early table, including a stunning 10-man victory over Newcastle at St James’ Park before despatching Aston Villa 3-0. “We would’ve loved to have carried on after the Aston Villa game, which was a really good game,” Klopp said this week, ruing the two-week gap.
Wolves manager Gary O’Neil has endured of baptism of fire after suddenly taking charge before the start of the season. A 1-0 win at Everton brought the only points from their first four games, and he has warned his Wolves players they will have to be at their very best to beat a Liverpool side he is tipping to challenge for the title. “I’ll be very surprised if they’re not right at the top this year,” O’Neil said.

It has been a slight case of contrasting fortunes for the two teams – although it is worth mentioning that we are only four games into the season.
Wolves have just one win and three defeats so far, but will be relatively confident as five teams have had worse starts to the season.
While Liverpool sit level on points with Tottenham and just two behind Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have won three and drawn one game so far this campaign, although there have been problems concerning the midfield.
