Liverpool are flying at the league’s summit

However, their hosts have proved stern opposition for the top six this season, most recently coming from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at Molineux – the first of three consecutive league victories.Nuno Espirito Santo’s men, currently flying high in seventh place, will be out to ruin the Reds’ unbeaten record and put a huge dent in their title bid.3

Wolves have won three games in a row

What the managers are saying

Nuno Espirito Santo (Wolves):The confidence we have is that we compete the same against all the opponents. That doesnt change (based on who we play).But its not how you perform against those clubs that can make us better against Liverpool. We have to forget what we did in the past, focus on the present. Its a new opponent and challenge.Its a big challenge for us, were prepared. Theyre top of the league, it says were going to face one of the best teams in Europe, we look forward to it.Everybody can see what Klopp is doing and the way Liverpool plays and what theyre achieving and building. We will be facing one of the best teams in Europe at the moment. What a game.3

Jurgen Klopp is not focused on Manchester City

Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool):“Only City can stop City, to be honest.“We have to play our own game and get as many points as possible.“I would say we are always motivated at the highest level so where could we put this extra portion, saying if City lost then it makes us more motivated? That doesn’t work. We are really concentrating on our situation.”
