Liverpool vs Wolves: Arne Slot Aims for Victory at Anfield

Liverpool enter Saturday’s showdown at Anfield seeking a third consecutive Premier League victory as they look to cement their return to the top-four race. Arne Slot’s men have finally steadied the ship, following up a gutsy win over Brighton with a clinical performance against Tottenham to climb to fifth in the standings.

While the "swashbuckling" style of their title-winning campaign has yet to fully return, a six-game unbeaten streak has significantly lifted the mood around the club. However, Slot remains wary of his side's persistent defensive vulnerabilities, which have seen the Reds concede high-quality chances at an alarming rate this season.

Fortunately for the hosts, they face a Wolverhampton Wanderers side currently enduring a historical collapse at the bottom of the table. Having amassed just two points all season—matching their tally of managers following Rob Edwards' difficult tenure—the "Old Gold" are currently on a demoralizing 11-game losing streak.

History heavily favors the Merseysiders, who have swept the last five meetings between these two clubs without dropping a single point. For Wolves, anything other than a miracle at Anfield would likely confirm their status as certainties for relegation come the end of the 2025/26 campaign.

With the division's lowest scorers visiting the league's most improved defense, the stage is set for Liverpool to continue their climb. For Slot, the objective is clear: maintain the momentum and prove that the early-season jitters are firmly in the rearview mirror.
