Chris Sutton shares what really seems to suit Wolves, in score prediction for Liverpool

Wolves take on Liverpool this weekend in the Premier League, and Rob Edwards is looking to halt his losing run.

The Old Gold have endured a terrible season so far, and the recent managerial change has not had the desired effect yet.

Rob Edwards has lost all six of his games in charge so far, which has been disappointing.

But the fact Wolves are staying in games for longer is perhaps an encouraging sign. Although, going on to still lose every time after drawing at half-time is a concern.

It’s Liverpool up next for Wolves and going to Anfield is certainly a daunting prospect.

The Reds may not have been at their best this season, but this is still a pretty worrying fixture.

Arne Slot believes Wolves will pose a challenge for his Liverpool side, but it is going to take a perfect performance to get anything.

Ahead of the game, pundit Chris Sutton has made his score prediction.

Chris Sutton praises Wolves but backs Liverpool to win

Wolves recently put in a really good, organised performance against Arsenal, and they were very unlucky not to take a point against the Gunners.

At the Emirates, Wanderers defended really well, only losing their concentration right at the very end.

To get anything against Liverpool, they will have to replicate that kind of display.

For Chris Sutton though Liverpool will prove to be too strong. But the pundit does feel Wolves really suit the backs to the wall style of playing.

Predicting a 2-0 home win, he said (via BBC Sport): “Wolves did really well to hold out for so long at Arsenal recently, and that kind of backs-against-the-wall defending seems to suit them.

“They will try to make things awkward for Liverpool too, but I don’t see it working out for them.”

Wolves have a poor record vs Liverpool

Wolves are obviously in a really poor state right now, meaning it’ll be difficult to get a result this weekend.

Wolves have historically struggled against the Reds, losing the last five in a row. The Old Gold have recorded just one victory – a 3-0 win at Molineux in February 2023 – in the last 15 meetings.

And Wolves’ last win at Anfield came in 2017 in the FA Cup. Richard Stearman scored after 53 seconds, with Andreas Weimann also on target for the then Championship side. Divock Origi added a consolation in the second-half.

In terms of the overall head to head, Liverpool have won 63 games against Wolves, with Wolves winning 37. There have been 18 draws.
