Liverpool Host Wolves in Top Four Push

Published 25 December 2025

Liverpool face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on Saturday in a Premier League match that offers the defending champions a chance to climb into the top four. The game kicks off at 3 p.m. GMT on December 27, with Arne Slot's side sitting fifth in the table on 29 points, just behind fourth-placed Chelsea on goal difference, while Wolves languish at the bottom with two points after 17 games.

The Reds have shown signs of recovery after a challenging season, extending an unbeaten run to six matches this month. Their latest result was a 2-1 victory at Tottenham Hotspur, where they overcame a spirited opponent reduced to nine men late in the game. Earlier successes included wins over West Ham, Inter Milan, and Brighton, alongside draws with Sunderland and Leeds. That momentum contrasts with November's home defeats to Nottingham Forest and PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. Wolves, under manager Rob Edwards, have managed just one victory all season and appear headed for relegation. They suffered a 2-1 loss to Arsenal two weeks ago and a 2-0 home defeat to Brentford on December 20, leaving them still searching for their first win of the campaign.
