Wolves have won only one of their last 13 meetings with Liverpool, losing 11 of them, so Gary O'Neil's team will need to pull off a major upset if they're to beat Arne Slot's side on Saturday evening.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool Preview
Will Liverpool's near-perfect start to the season continue? On Wednesday, despite an unfortunate early own goal by Jarell Quansah, the Reds roared back to batter West Ham 5-1 in the EFL Cup, with Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo both bagging braces, while Mohamed Salah was on target in-between.
This means, since Arne Slot's arrival, they've won six out of seven in all competitions, including swatting aside Bournemouth 3-0 last weekend, meaning they start the day second in the table.
Wolverhampton Wanderers meanwhile are rock bottom, having won only one of their 15 Premier League games since 9 March, this against relegated Luton.
So far this season, Wolves have held Nottingham Forest to a draw, but have lost their other four fixtures, most-recently beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa, despite taking the lead through Matheus Cunha at Villa Park.
Gary O'Neil's team were generally competitive in both that game and the narrow defeat to Newcastle a week earlier, but now simply need some points to haul themselves off the foot of the table.
Nevertheless, given what both sides have produced so far this season, an away win seems extremely likely at Molineux.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Team News
Centre-back Yerson Mosquera suffered a season-ending knee injury last weekend, a big blow, meaning Santiago Bueno will come in to partner Craig Dawson.
Defensive midfielder André, who's recently arrived from Fluminense, will start a third successive Premier League match, with fellow summer-recruit Jørgen Strand Larsen leading the attack.
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Liverpool: (4-4-2): Johnstone; Semedo, S Bueno, Dawson, Aït-Nouri; André, João Gomes, Lemina, Bellegarde; Strand Larsen; Cunha.
Wolverhampton Wanderers Player to Watch vs Liverpool
Matheus Cunha has scored 40% of Wolves' Premier League goals so far this season, well two out of five, and the Brazilian remains their primary goal threat. However, he's made more appearances against Liverpool (6) without scoring than any other opponent in his career, so can he change that here?
Liverpool Team News
Arne Slot made nine changes for the mid-week shellacking of West Ham, goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher and Darwin Núñez the only players to start retain their places, with the Irishman likely to be donning the gloves once again, given that Alisson is a doubt.
In attack, Federico Chiesa made his full debut on Wednesday, while Diogo Jota's brace in the Carabao Cup will surely have earned him a starting spot against his former employers.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-2-3-1): Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Jota, Luis Díaz.
Liverpool Player to Watch vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Mohamed Salah has scored just five goals in 15 career appearances against Wolves, failing to find the net during any of his last seven appearances in the Black Country, looking to end this sequence at Molineux.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool Prediction
A win here would make Arne Slot the first Liverpool manager ever to win his first four away matches in charge across all competitions. We raise this fact because we think another victory for the Reds is very likely, with Wolves offering little residence: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-3 Liverpool.
