Liverpool head to Molineux for the first of two games against Wolves this week – Tuesday night in the Premier League and Friday night in the FA Cup.
We crunch the numbers ahead of the big game…
Wolves have lost 17 of their last 18 Premier League matches against Liverpool, winning the other 3-0 in February 2023 at Molineux under Julen Lopetegui.
Liverpool have won 83% of their Premier League games against Wolves, winning 19 of 23 games (D2 L2) – that is the best win ratio of any side to face another 20+ times in the competition’s history.
Liverpool have won their last two away league games (both 1-0 v Sunderland and Nottingham Forest), as many as their previous 10 on the road beforehand (D3 L5). The Reds are looking to win three successive away Premier League fixtures for the first time since October 2024 (4 in a row), and could do so while keeping a clean sheet each time for the first time since March 2022.
Each of Liverpool’s last four away goals in the Premier League have come from set-piece scenarios (2x corner, 1x direct free-kick, 1x throw). Excluding penalties, just four of their previous 23 strikes on the road in the league had been from set-plays.
Only 14% of Liverpool’s away league goals this season have been scored in the first half (3/21), with only one of those coming before the 45th minute (Ryan Gravenberch, 35th min v Newcastle in August). In Premier League history, only three sides have a lower ratio of away goals in a season scored before half-time: West Brom in 2008-09 (10% – 1/10), Leicester in 1994-95 (12% – 2/17), and Southampton in 1998-99 (13% – 1/8).
Mohamed Salah has been involved in nine goals in his last 10 Premier League appearances against Wolves (5 goals, 4 assists), scoring in both of his last two against them for Liverpool.
