Premier League: Liverpool vs. Wolves Picks — Reds to Bounce Back to Winning Ways (Feb 16)

Liverpool missed the opportunity to move nine points clear at the top of the Premier League standings on Wednesday, as they were held to a 2-2 draw against Everton.

The Reds allowed a 2-1 advantage to slip in the closing stages, and Arne Slot’s frustrations were apparent after he was sent off after the full-time whistle.

Wolves will be looking to increase the pressure on the Reds when they travel to Anfield on Sunday. Vito Pereira’s side have won their last two across all competitions, which includes a 2-0 win over Aston Villa in their latest league outing.

Odds

Liverpool Hold Dominant Advantage Over Wolves

Liverpool hold a dominant record against Wolves after winning 15 of the last 16 Premier League clashes between the sides. The only exception was a 3-0 defeat at Molineux in February 2023. Wolves have suffered defeats in nine of their last ten away matches at Anfield.

• Liverpool have scored at least twice in each of their last nine fixtures at Anfield.

Liverpool vs. Wolves Prop Picks

Matheus Cunha is an interesting player for a number of prop markets this weekend. He appears to be the visitors’ best chance of a goal, netting eleven from an xG of just 5.52 this term. Meanwhile, as the front line of the press, he has been vulnerable to picking up cards this season, taking three yellows.

Mohamed Salah will be a short price to score this weekend, meaning that a chance could instead be taken on Darwin Nunez. The striker has scored four in 19 this term, and has underperformed in terms of an xG of 4.38 from his average of 2.77 shots per 90.

Liverpool vs. Wolves Picks

The cracks have been apparent in Liverpool’s title bid in recent weeks, but their home form has remained a constant.

The Reds have scored 22 goals across their last nine matches at Anfield, and that could be a key trend to consider this weekend. We could see Wolves taking an early lead, but Liverpool recovering to ultimately secure a 3-1 win to cover the spread.
