Wolves Predicted Lineup vs Liverpool for Dec. 27

Wolverhampton Wanderers make the trip to Anfield on December 27 to face Liverpool in what promises to be an emotional Premier League encounter. Not only are the Old Gold desperately seeking points, but this is also the first meeting between the two sides since the tragic passing of Diogo Jota, a beloved figure for both Wolves and Liverpool, with Jota’s sons set to accompany the players onto the pitch in a touching tribute ahead of kickoff. Wolves arrive rooted to the bottom of the table amid a miserable run of form, with several senior players missing for both sides; it is likely to be a tactically challenging test. Here is our Wolves predicted lineup.

Wolves Predicted Lineup vs Liverpool In Emotional Premier League Clash

How Wolves Have Lined Up Recently

Wolves have had a turbulent season, marked by defensive uncertainty and a lack of cutting edge across the pitch. Last time out in a 2-0 loss to Brentford, José Sá made his return to the starting lineup. He was covered by a back three of Matt Doherty, Santiago Bueno, and Ladislav Krejčí.

The midfield five consisted of Ki-Jana Hoever, João Gomes, André, Fer López, and David Møller Wolfe. The two up top were Jørgen Strand Larsen and Hwang Hee-chan.

Wolves Recent Form And Tactics

This season has been deeply challenging for Wolves. They remain anchored to the bottom of the Premier League, with just two points on the board and a goal tally that reflects the ongoing struggles in attack. Frequent defensive lapses and the inability to sustain possession have been persistent issues.

Tactically, Wolves have adopted a cautious 3-5-2 formation, attempting to stay compact and spring counterattacks. Yet without consistent quality in transition or any creative spark, breaking down organised defences remains an uphill battle. In what may also be an emotionally charged occasion following the Jota tributes, discipline and structure will be essential for Wolves.

Injuries To Consider

Rob Edwards said during his pre-match press conference that Toti Gomes will be out for several weeks with a hamstring injury, and Hugo Bueno has been training with the squad so that he may make an appearance. When speaking about squad availability, Edwards said they “had a couple of muscle injuries over the last few weeks” due to the team “pushing hard”. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Rodrigo Gomes, and Marshall Munetsi are also still out injured.
