Alious**”Wolves’ Shock Selection? Pereira Set to Hand Full Debut to January Signing vs Liverpool”**
Wolves travel to Anfield on Sunday for a tough Premier League showdown against Liverpool, with Vitor Pereira’s side coming into the match in strong form but still viewed as underdogs. Pereira has spoken highly of Reds boss Arne Slot but will be determined to disrupt his title charge by pulling off an upset in front of a hostile Anfield crowd.
Wolves’ Injury Concerns and Team News**
The squad is stretched thin, with seven key first-team players ruled out due to injury and illness. Hwang Hee-chan and Jorgen Strand Larsen are sidelined with hamstring issues, while Sasa Kalajdzic, Yerson Mosquera, Leon Chiwome, and Enso Gonzalez all continue to recover from ACL injuries. Boubacar Traore will also miss out due to illness.
However, there is good news as Joao Gomes returns from suspension after serving his ban for a red card against Arsenal. The Brazilian midfielder will be available for selection, providing a much-needed boost in the middle of the park.
Predicted Wolves XI vs Liverpool**
With several absentees, Pereira is likely to turn to recent January additions Marshall Munetsi and Nasser Djiga. While Djiga is expected to start on the bench, Munetsi appears primed for his full Wolves debut following his Deadline Day arrival from Stade Reims.
Matheus Cunha will continue to lead the attack, supported by Goncalo Guedes, who is emerging as Pereira’s preferred attacking partner for the Brazilian.
In goal, Jose Sa remains the undisputed No.1, while a defensive trio of Toti Gomes, Emmanuel Agbadou, and Matt Doherty is expected. Rayan Ait-Nouri and Nelson Semedo should retain their wing-back roles in Pereira’s tactical setup.
Match Details & TV Coverage**
Sunday’s high-stakes clash kicks off at 2 p.m. (UK time) and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports, with coverage beginning at 1 p.m. as Wolves aim to pull off a shock result at Anfield.
