Liverpool have won each of their last four meetings with Wolves, also victorious during 12 of their last 14 encounters overall. Wolverhampton Wanderers have won just three of 34 visits to Anfield since December 1950.
Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview
It's been a very disappointing week for Liverpool, making it vitally important that they get back to winning ways here. In mid-week in, what was, the last-ever Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, the Reds appeared set to very much spoil the party.
The Reds led thanks to an ingenious Alexis Mac Allister header, followed by a clinical finish by Mohamed Salah.
However, in the 97th minute, Everton fired home a dramatic equaliser, sparking wild celebrations, a pitch invasion and a mass brawl after full-time that saw Curtis Jones, manager Arne Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff all sent off.
Nevertheless, despite the last-gasp disappointment, there's no need for the Reds to panic, given that they're now unbeaten in 20 Premier League matches and sit seven points clear of Arsenal.
On the flip side, having been ignominiously dumped out of the FA Cup by Plymouth Argyle last Sunday, Slot's team will be desperate to avoid another slip-up come Sunday.
As for Wolverhampton Wanderers, getting even a point at Anfield on Sunday may appear to be mission impossible-esque, but they do at least make the 77-mile journey to Merseyside following back-to-back victories.
A fortnight ago, Wolves brought to an end a four-game losing streak by beating Midlands rivals Aston Villa 2-0 at Molineux, with Jean‐Ricner Bellegarde breaking the deadlock early, before Matheus Cunha made the points secure in stoppage time.
This was a vital victory for Vítor Pereira's team, as it saw them climb out of the relegation zone, two points clear of Leicester. Then, last Sunday, the Old Gold reached the FA Cup fifth round by beating Blackburn, also 2-0.
Wolves' most recent win at Anfield came in the FA Cup eight years ago, when they were a middling Championship club. Given the respective league positions of the two sides now, a repeat victory would arguably be even more surprising.

Liverpool Team News
In Wednesday's derby, Liverpool named a starting lineup in a league fixture not featuring a single Englishman for the very first time.
Trent Alexander-Arnold could return to the lineup, back fit again, set to return in place of Conor Bradley at right-back. With a tough trip to Villa Park coming on Wednesday, it'll be interesting to see if Slot rotates his team or sticks with his usual, settled starting XI.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Luis Díaz, Gakpo.
Liverpool Player to Watch vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

The visitors are without Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traoré, Enso González, Saša Kalajdžić, Jørgen Strand Larsen and Hwang Hee-chan, the latter duo in particular leaving Vítor Pereira short of attacking options.
So, compared to last Sunday's lineup, Pablo Sarabia will come in for the sidelined Hwang in attack, while first-choice goalkeeper José Sá will also return. Marshall Munetsi, the second player Wolves bought from Reims in January, made his debut for the club off the bench at Ewood Park, while defender Nasser Djiga is awaiting his own debut, having arrived from Crvena zvezda.
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Liverpool: (3-4-3): José Sá; Toti, Agbadou, Bueno; Semedo, André, João Gomes, Aït-Nouri; Sarabia, Guedes, Cunha.
Wolverhampton Wanderers Player to Watch vs Liverpool
If Wolves harbour any hopes of a famous win, Matheus Cunha will continue to be their main goal threat, having bagged his 12th of the season at Blackburn, albeit he has never netted in seven attempts against Liverpool, the most times he's faced any single opponent without ever scoring.
Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
We cannot see beyond a very comfortable Liverpool victory at Anfield on Sunday, with the Reds likely to swat Wolves aside very easily: Liverpool 3-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers.
