Liverpool have historically dominated their Premier League encounters with Wolverhampton Wanderers. Wolves have lost 17 of their last 18 Premier League matches against Liverpool, with their only win in that run coming in February 2023 at Molineux.
Liverpool have won 83% of their Premier League games against Wolves, winning 19 of 23 games. This is the best win ratio of any side to face another 20+ times in the competition’s history.
Wolves’ Tuesday Home Record
Wolves have a decent home record on Tuesdays. They have won seven of their last nine Premier League home games played on a Tuesday. Their 58% home win rate on Tuesdays overall in the competition is their best on any day of the week.
However, Wolves have struggled against reigning champions. They have lost 10 of their last 11 Premier League games against reigning champions, winning the other against Manchester City in September 2023. Indeed, they have lost 74% of their games against defending champions in the competition. Among sides with 20+ such matches, only West Brom and Norwich have a higher loss ratio.
Liverpool’s Away Form
Liverpool have won their last two away league games, as many as their previous 10 on the road beforehand. The Reds are looking to win three successive away Premier League fixtures for the first time since October 2024.
Liverpool could win three successive away Premier League fixtures while keeping a clean sheet each time for the first time since March 2022.
Set-Piece Success and Salah’s Threat
Each of Liverpool’s last four away goals in the Premier League have come from set-piece scenarios. Excluding penalties, just four of their previous 23 strikes on the road in the league had been from set-plays.
Mohamed Salah has been a constant threat against Wolves. He has been involved in nine goals in his last 10 Premier League appearances against Wolves, scoring in both of his last two against them for Liverpool.
Wolves’ Recent Form
Wolves won 2-0 against Aston Villa last time out. They last won consecutive Premier League games in March/April last year. Their last four league wins have been to nil, with Wolves winless in 29 games in which they’ve conceded at least once.
First-Half Struggles
Just 14% of Liverpool’s away league goals this season have been scored in the first half. Only one of those came before the 45th minute. In Premier League history, only three sides have a lower ratio of away goals in a season scored before half-time.
Wolves haven’t scored before half time in any of their last nine Premier League games. Only once have they gone 10 games without a first half goal, doing so between August and November 2018.
Liverpool’s dominance in this fixture is clear, but Wolves’ home form on Tuesdays offers a glimmer of hope.
