Liverpool team vs Wolves: How we expect Jurgen Klopp’s side to line up today at Anfield

Jurgen Klopp may need to shuffle his pack as Liverpool's hectic festive fixture list continues with a home game against Wolves .

The recent workload on the likes of Jordan Henderson and Andrew Robertson could see them given a rare day off, with fringe players such as James Milner and Xherdan Shaqiri pushing for a place in the starting XI.

Divock Origi is also available to come into the front line should any of the first-choice three be considered in need of a rest.

Klopp is without rotational options in the centre of defence, meaning Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk will be given the chance to push for a fourth consecutive clean sheet since they were reunited by injury to Dejan Lovren.

The starting XI should otherwise have a familiar look to it as the Reds bid to extend their remarkable start to the campaign.
