Liverpool hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers in round 38 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, May 12th at Anfield (Liverpool)
Liverpool accomplished a miracle in the second leg with Barcelona, and the whole team is now in a great mood. But it cost them dearly, and now the team is like a squeezed orange, both physically and emotionally. Klopp does not have such a rich choice to make the high-quality rotation in the squad, especially if we talk about the attacking line. The match will be missing players such as Mo Salah and Bobby Firmino, who simply cannot be replaced: Sturridge is in bad shape, and Origi just looks like a foreign body in the game of the Reds, despite the double in Barça’s net. It is also not clear what priorities Liverpool has, since the progress to the final changed the situation a little, and what Jürgen Klopp will choose - a triumph in the third Champions League final for him or a Liverpool’s victory in the Premier League for the first time in 29 years.

Wolverhampton is an incredibly tough team and demonstrates a very bright game this season. The team is on the run and has a number of decent matches against the clubs from the top-6 of the Premier League; it almost ended up in the Europa League zone, ranking 7th in the table. The coach of the Wolves is doing a very good job; the squad is well balanced, both in defense and in the attack. It is worth noting the game of individual players, such as Ruben Neves, Raul Jimenez, João Moutinho, Diogo Jota, because they spend the season at the top level.
The Wolves have nothing to solve in this match because they are fixed on the 7th position in the standings, but for Liverpool, the match is extremely important - the destiny of the English champions’ title may be resolved. But, as I said, Liverpool just hardly had anything left for the match with Wolverhampton after the exhausting game against Barca in the Champions League. I think the Reds won’t manage to show a bright game, especially since we know how successful the Wolves are in matches against top clubs, and they can fight on equal terms even with the most difficult rivals. I think that the visitors will manage to take at least 1 point in this match, and maybe even all three.
Prediction for the match: Wolves to win with +0.5 handicap
