West Midlands Outfit Battles Relegation and Eyes Historic Double Over Merseyside Giants
Get ready for an exciting Premier League clash as Wolverhampton Wanderers face off against Liverpool in their bid to end a 72-year streak. The West Midlands outfit is currently fighting tooth and nail to avoid relegation from the Premier League, sitting just three points above the bottom three. This crucial match against Liverpool could be the turning point for Wolves’ season, and they’re not going to let the opportunity slip away easily.
Under the guidance of Julen Lopetegui, Wolves have shown significant improvement on the pitch. However, they recently lost 1-0 at home to Bournemouth before earning a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Fulham. They’re not going to let those setbacks get in the way of their determination to secure a victory at Anfield.
This match has become quite a familiar occurrence since the turn of the year, with the two teams scheduled to meet for the fourth time in just two months. The clubs were paired together in the FA Cup third round, where Wolves initially claimed a 2-2 draw at Anfield before losing 1-0 at home in a replay. But in the first top-flight fixture between the clubs, Wolves produced their best performance of the season, winning by a 3-0 scoreline.
Wolves’ win against Liverpool in the first top-flight fixture this season has given them a chance to do something they haven’t achieved since the 1950-51 campaign. If Wolves manage to win at Anfield on Wednesday night, it will be the first time in 72 years that they have recorded a league double over the Merseyside giants.
But Wolves are no strangers to defeating Liverpool, with an FA Cup triumph occurring at Anfield in January 2017 and another victory materializing at Molineux in the same competition two years later. The last time Wolves won a league game at Liverpool’s home ground was in December 2010, where Stephen Ward scored the winner in a 1-0 success.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have won 18 of their last 20 home games with Wolves, and they have also kept clean sheets in their three most recent outings in the Premier League. The Reds will be looking to keep their momentum going and prove that they’re still one of the top teams in the league.
This match is shaping up to be a real nail-biter, and both teams will be giving it their all. Will Wolves be able to end their 72-year wait for a league double over Liverpool, or will the Reds prove to be too much for them to handle? Tune in on Wednesday night to find out!
