Reds to secure maximum points
Liverpool will be looking to continue their impressive start to the season when they visit Molineux. The Reds have 10 points from their opening four matches, seven more than their hosts.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have won their last three, beating Bournemouth 3-1, Newcastle 2-1 and Aston Villa 3-0, and scoring goals should not be an issue against an inconsistent Wolves side.
The Black Country outfit were unlucky not to get anything from their 1-0 loss at Manchester United, but were outclassed in a 4-1 home defeat by Brighton and beaten 3-2 by Crystal Palace last time out.
A 1-0 win over Everton is their only positive result to date and they are unlikely to have the defensive quality to keep out a Liverpool side who have won on four of their last five visits to Molineux.
However, Wolves have looked sharp in the final third in recent games and have racked up 43 shots in the league, so we expect them to score, albeit in a losing cause.
Wolves vs Liverpool tip 1: Liverpool to win and both teams to score @ 13/8 with Sky Bet
Egyptian still the main man
Liverpool managed to hold off the advances from Saudi Arabia to keep Mohammed Salah during the summer transfer window and his importance to the team has been clear to see, with the Egyptian scoring twice and registering the same amount of assists.
The 31-year-old has had seven shots across his last three matches and, given the fact Wolves have shipped an average of two goals a game in the league, there is a good chance he will get a couple of efforts off on Saturday.
Wolves vs Liverpool tip 2: Mohamed Salah 2+ shots on target @ 6/5 with Sky Bet
Colombian to help land Bet Builder
Liverpool’s attack has been firing this season and Luis Diaz has two goals to his name, notching in the draw at Chelsea and the victory over Bournemouth.
The Colombia winger has had nine attempts – only Salah has had more for the Reds – while his tally of three shots on target is again only bettered by the Egyptian’s seven.
Pedro Neto may have failed to find the back of the net for Wolves this term but it is not for a lack of trying, the forward having nine attempts of which four have been on target.
There was speculation over his future this summer, with Arsenal said to be tracking him, but now the window is shut he can focus on his football and he can add to his shots tally this weekend.
Rounding off this Bet Builder is for there to be over 2.5 total goals in the contest. This bet has landed in Liverpool’s last three fixtures and also three of Wolves’ five games across all competitions, while this match produced three goals last season.
Wolves vs Liverpool tip 3: Bet Builder – Luis Diaz to score any time, Pedro Neto to have 2+ shots and over 2.5 total goals @ 22/1 with Sky Bet
