Wolves will be buoyed by the return of Ruben Neves from suspension for Saturday’s encounter, although it is unclear if Daniel Podence will be well enough to play after his coronavirus illness. It seems that the home treatment room is still full, with Willy Boly and Jonny among those who have dropped out of the running, as well as Yerson Mosquera and Pedro Neto, and Fernando Marcal testing positive for COVID-19. Traore’s explosive potential against Andy Robertson may necessitate Leander Dendoncker’s withdrawal to make place for the returning Neves, while Lage may decide to leave Francisco Trincao in reserve in order to maximise Traore’s explosive potential against Robertson.
Liverpool:
As for Liverpool, Naby Keita and Joe Gomez are both expected to return to training next week after injuries, but this game will come much too soon for the duo to be ready for it.
As a result, Roberto Firmino, Harvey Elliott, and Curtis Jones will be out for a little bit longer, and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp may resist the temptation to rotate his players considering that his team faces an insignificant Champions League match against AC Milan in midweek.
Considering Thiago Alcantara has been out with an injury for most of the season, either James Milner or Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain might give some much-needed depth in the engine room.

The One-Line Explainer:
Even though the Wolves have not established a reputation for entertaining goal-fests in recent weeks, their chances of interrupting Liverpool’s run of two goals per game are minimal to none in this encounter.
Despite the fact that both teams will be fatigued, we predict the merciless Reds to continue their winning run against Wolves and keep another clean sheet in the process.
