Joe Gomez started at left-back last match with Andy Robertson missing out, though the Scotsman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolfc.com\/news\/jurgen-klopp-press-conference-aston-villa-draw-liverpools-away-support-and-andy-robertson\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trained<\/a> the following day; we expect the<a href=\"https:\/\/thetitansfa.com\/unleashing-andy-robertsons-defensive-and-attacking-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> &#8220;influential force&#8221;<\/a> to return. Jarell Quansah started alongside Virgil van Dijk for the third game in a row.<\/p>\n<p>Wataru Endo and Alexis Mac Allister have been vital in the midfield all season, bar injuries. Harvey Elliott has been a breath of fresh air alongside the duo for the past two matches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/05\/03\/liverpool-priority-transfer-arne-slot\/\" target=\"_self\">\u2018Priority Position\u2019: Liverpool to Discuss Key Transfer Decision With Arne Slot<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mohamed Salah returned to the right-wing against Aston Villa whilst Cody Gakpo remained the centre-forward. Luis Diaz is the left-winger.<\/p>\n<h3>Liverpool&#8217;s Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Liverpool drew 3-3 in a thriller against Unai Emery&#8217;s side. This match made it nine goals conceded and just one win in their last four matches.<\/p>\n<p>It was out of character for the Reds to concede in the 85th and 88th minute to overturn their two-goal lead: it&#8217;s usually them making late comebacks. However, Aston Villa accumulated an expected goals (XG) of 2.79 between their initial 12th-minute equaliser and their second goal. The comeback was not against the run of play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/04\/16\/liverpool-poor-recent-form-jurgen-klopp\/\" target=\"_self\">Poor Liverpool Form Does Not Make Their Season a Failure<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool were not a huge threat on the attack either, with their first coming from a freak Emiliano Martinez mistake. Aside from their goals they only racked up an XG of 0.68. Credit where credit is due they did take their chances, unlike other matches this season.<\/p>\n<h3>Liverpool Injuries to Consider Ahead of Wolves Clash<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned, Andy Robertson missed the last match with a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LewisSteele_\/status\/1790079718848414011\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;minor niggle&#8221; <\/a>but is expected to be fit for the Wolves match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/04\/25\/liverpool-willian-pacho-priority-transfer\/\" target=\"_self\">\u2018Conversations Took Place\u2019: Liverpool Discover Transfer Price for Bundesliga Defender With \u2018World-Class Potential\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcantara, and Joel Matip will miss the final match of the 2023\/24 season with longer-term injuries.<\/p>\n<p>With Matip&#8217;s contract out this summer, we will likely never see the cult hero in a Liverpool shirt again.
