Wolves vs Liverpool: Predictions, team news, live stream, TV, odds, tickets – Premier League 2018-19 preview

Wolves vs Liverpool
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Molineux
Date: Friday, 21 December, 2018
Kick-off time: 8pm GMT

Wolves and Liverpool kick off gameweek 18 of the Premier League season with Jurgen Klopp's side sitting pretty at the top of the table.

An impressive 3-1 win over Manchester United at Anfield last weekend ensured Liverpool remained a point above champions Manchester City, sparking hopes of a first title since 1990.

While Liverpool will be confident heading to Molineux on Friday night, Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolves are going strong in seventh position and should provide the visitors with a real threat.
