Liverpool have won five successive meetings with Wolves, as well as 13 of their last 15 encounters overall.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have won only three of 35 visits to Anfield since 1950, the most recent of which was an FA Cup tie in 2017 when they were still a second-tier outfit.
Liverpool vs Wolves preview
Are Liverpool starting to rediscover some form? Last Saturday evening, the Reds extended their unbeaten streak to five Premier League matches, beating nine-man Tottenham 2-1 in North London, thanks to goals from Alexander Isak and then Hugo Ekitiké. Arne Slot's side have therefore yielded 11 points from their last five outings, having collected only three from the previous seven.
As a result, the reigning champions are up to fifth, just ten points adrift the leaders, and the extent of their crisis no longer appears as severe as it once was. After this, Liverpool also welcome Leeds to Anfield and then travel to Fulham, before taking on leaders Arsenal on 8 January, so will they go into that clash following an elongated winning streak?
Well, a home win on Merseyside is extremely likely, given Wolverhampton Wanderers' current predicament. Last weekend, Wolves suffered a tenth straight defeat, further extending the unwanted club record, this time beaten 2-0 by Brentford at Molineux. Jørgen Strand Larsen's tame penalty towards the end that was easily saved rather encapsulating their campaign in a microcosm.
Wolves therefore still only have two points to their name, the joint-lowest points tally any side have ever had in the Premier League after 17 games. Back in 2020, Sheffield United did win their 18th match against Newcastle, actually ending up with 23 points, but with Wolves' next two fixtures this one followed by a visit to Old Trafford, their wait for a win may go on into the new year. Anything other than a resounding Liverpool victory at Anfield would be a major surprise.

Liverpool team news
Dominik Szoboszlai is suspended, after being shown his fifth yellow card of the campaign at Spurs while, in the act of scoring, Alexander Isak suffered a fractured fibula that required surgery, set to spend at least three months on the sidelines.
He joins Giovanni Leoni, Joe Gomez, Conor Bradley, Wataru Endō and Cody Gakpo in the treatment room, while Mohamed Salah is at the Africa Cup of Nations.
In Bradley's absence, Jeremie Frimpong will start a first Premier League match since the opening day, while Federico Chiesa could come in on the right, thereby starting in the Premier League for just the second time ever. Ibrahima Konaté will sit out the visit of Leeds on New Year's Day if booked.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Frimpong, Konaté, van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Wirtz; Ekitiké.
Liverpool player to watch vs Wolves
While many of Liverpool's summer signings have underwhelmed, the same cannot be said of Hugo Ekitiké, scoring his 11th goal for the club last weekend, so can he add to his tally?
Wolves team news
Rob Edwards is likely to revert to the back five strategy that almost earned his side a draw at Arsenal a fortnight ago. However, Emmanuel Agbadou and Tawanda Chirewa are at AFCON, while Toti, Rodrigo Gomes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Marshall Munetsi are all injured.
Yerson Mosquera can return at the back, having served his one-match suspension against Brentford, while Hwang Hee-chan could continue to get the nod alongside under-fire Jørgen Strand Larsen, chosen over Tolu Arokodare in attack.
In goal, after Sam Johnstone had started 11 successive matches, José Sá was back in a week ago but, whoever is donning the gloves should expect a busy afternoon. André will be suspended for Tuesday's visit to Manchester United if cautioned.
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Liverpool: (4-3-3): José Sá; Tchatchoua, Krejčí, S Bueno, Toti, Møller Wolfe; André, João Gomes; Hwang Hee-chan, Arokodare, Strand Larsen.

João Gomes is widely-regarded as one of Wolves' better players, but the Brazilian international will need to be at his best to help his team get anything from this one.
Liverpool vs Wolves prediction
As already documented, Liverpool will cruise to victory in this one, expected to swat Wolves aside at a canter, the question being how many will they score: Liverpool 3-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers.
