Although history still favors Jurgen Klopp’s team in this match, Liverpool head to Wolves aiming to make amends for a disastrous performance at Molineux last season.
Although this weekend’s opponents have a strong league record against the Reds, complications have occasionally arisen due to the kickoff time.
In the past 13 league games, Liverpool has won 12 of them, dating back to January 2011. The lone loss occurred in this matchup last year (3-0 at Molineux).
In five of the last six seasons, the Reds have swept Wolves in the league.
Liverpool suffered its biggest defeat in this match in more than 42 years with the 3-0 loss in February.
The Reds have 22 clean sheets over the last 36 league home and away games.
Liverpool has failed to score just once in its past 13 league home and away games dating back to last season.
In 1972, the Reds last failed to score in back-to-back league trips to Molineux.
In the Premier League, Liverpool has faced Wolves 18 times and won 14, tied 2, and lost 2 of the games.
The Reds have scored 30 of the last 38 league goals in the match.
Maybe we shouldn’t worry so much!
Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool has won 10 of its 24 away league games that have started at 12.30 p.m.
Liverpool just earned three points out of a possible 18 during their six games that started at 12.30 p.m. last season.
The Reds drew 0-0 with Chelsea at home and drew 2-2 with Fulham and 0-0 with Everton away from home before losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth and 4-1 to Man City.
In those six games, Liverpool only managed to score four goals.
Although the manager dislikes the kickoff time, let’s hope his team can defy the odds this weekend!
