How you think the Premier League table will finish
LAWRO'S PREDICTION fack off Lawro
Liverpool have scored with just two of their last 67 shots from open play in the Premier League.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
This is the 100th league meeting, all of them in the top flight. Liverpool lead by 52 wins to Wolves' 30.
Wolves have lost eight league matches in a row against Liverpool, one short of their longest top-flight losing streak versus an opponent: nine against Manchester City from 1902-33.
Their only victory in 13 Premier League fixtures against Liverpool came away in December 2010. Wolves only scored four goals in those 13 games.
However, Wolves have twice beaten Jurgen Klopp's side in the FA Cup: at Anfield in January 2017 and at Molineux two years later.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Their solitary defeat in seven league matches was by 4-1 at Manchester City (W3, D3).
Wolves have only once managed consecutive Premier League home wins since the beginning of last season - in July 2020 against Everton and Crystal Palace.
They can keep successive Premier League clean sheets for the second time this season.
Wolves have opened the scoring in just one of their past 18 league matches, and that was an own goal by Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
Adama Traore has gone 46 Premier League appearances without a goal.
Liverpool
They have the worst record in the Premier League since the start of February, earning three points from seven games.
Liverpool's nine league defeats this season is as many as in their previous three campaigns combined.
The Reds have failed to score in eight of their past 13 league matches. They haven't ended more top-flight games without a goal in a season since 2011-12.
Their earliest goal in those 13 fixtures was scored by Roberto Firmino in first-half stoppage time at Tottenham in January.
Diogo Jota scored 33 goals in 111 league appearances for Wolves before joining Liverpool last year.

Black Country is either a former poster who got banned or a 2nd account poster on here. He knows far too much about things that went on years ago to be a Nov '20 newbie.

Will do Tino. I'll see if I can persuade him to come back but he seems to be very busy either photographing wildlife, especially birds or entering trout fishing competitions

Fair play to the guy, living the dream.

Which makes you wonder why we spent so much on risks. Also think it highly unlikely we sign both RAN and Vitinha and maybe neither.
Suspect we will see a quiet summer throughout the football world.

Yeah still deals to be done and no reason clubs can't generate funds if need be. Spitballing here of course but assuming we don't sign Vitinha and perhaps Ait-Nouri that is 40 million we intended to spend. Possible we sell Mir which should be 5million+ And then wouldn't be surprised to see Traore on the way out and who knows his value these days/ 25 million perhaps? We should still be able to do solid business with a transfer kitty of 70 million or so though maybe some of that will be thrown in to cover the losses.

Every clubs has suffered during this covid crisis and ours may be just a drop in the ocean compared to others. I also think the possibility of retaining both Vitinha and At-Nouri may depend on Nuno's assessment of them at the end of the season, rather than the financial side of it. If he feels they will be an asset to us, then money shouldn't be a problem, especially as Wolfgang says, crowds may well be back next season.
