Liverpool will try to get back to winnings ways on Saturday afternoon, when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League at Molineux.
The Reds are still licking their wounds from a soul-sapping injury time defeat to Brighton last weekend that sent Jurgen Klopp's team tumbling out of the FA Cup, but there is no time to feel sorry for themselves with the all-important task of climbing the league table now taking priority.
Liverpool and Wolves have already faced each other twice this season in the FA Cup Third round, with the Reds needing a replay to advance past their opponents. The midlands club have been making steady progress under new manager Julen Lopetegui however and with no fewer than six new players arriving in the January transfer window, they are sure to be a tough proposition for the travelling Reds.

Ahead of the contest, we have rounded up all the details you need to know in relation to Wolverhampton Wanderers v Liverpool.
What time is kick-off for Wolves vs Liverpool?
Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Liverpool at Molineux with a 3pm Saturday afternoon kick-off, the traditional start time for fixtures within English football.
It's the Reds; third meeting with Wolves in just a few weeks after an FA Cup draw at Anfield and replay at Molineux that saw Liverpool win 1-0 after a goal from Harvey Elliott.
Is Wolves vs Liverpool on TV?
No. As the game is scheduled for a 3pm kick-off, it will not be shown on the television. The 3pm blackout has been in place since the 1960s and prevents matches from being televised in the UK.
The football blackout is the rule that no Premier League, Football League or FA Cup matches can be shown live on a Saturday between 2.45pm and 5.15pm.
Reports last year suggested the EFL would consider lifting the blackout in their TV rights sale, from 2024/25 onwards, with EFL chairman Rick Parry stating in 2021 they would remain "open-minded" about new approaches to broadcasting.
“We are almost unique in Europe now in having a blackout period," said Parry. "I’m not presuming that it (3pm blackout) goes, but equally, if we’re looking at streaming, at new technologies and new broadcasters, we will probably have to be open-minded in terms of scheduling."
How else can I follow Wolves vs Liverpool?
We will be providing live coverage on proceedings from Molineux courtesy of our Reds reporters, Paul Gorst and Ian Doyle. Our live match blog will be up and running at the top of the Liverpool section on our website from 1pm onwards as we keep you up to date on team news, with in-game updates and post-match analysis to follow.
Where can I watch the highlights?

Early Wolves vs Liverpool team news
Liverpool will be without centre-back Ibrahima Konate after he suffered a muscle injury, joining Virgil van Dijk on the sidelines. It leaves Jurgen Klopp with Joe Gomez and Joel Matip as his only two fit senior centre-backs, with Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams in reserve.
The Reds are still without Diogo Jota, but Klopp has confirmed that the forward is expected to return to training next week. Luis Diaz, Roberto Firmino and Van Dijk are all still absent but on the road to recovery.
Speaking in his press conference on Friday, Klopp said: “Generally it’s looking better. The boys are training. Diogo Jota had a full session with the team this week but not the next day. He had a rehab session, not because of the session before. It’s part of the plan
“I think he will pretty much be back in full training next week. Bobby’s getting closer obviously, very good. Luis is running now. That will take a few weeks still but he’s now out on the pitch running which is really good.
“Virgil is getting closer but not ready for the game obviously. Parts of training next week for Virgil. Nothing else so far, but there are still two hours until training!”
Wolves could hand debuts to new arrivals Craig Dawson and Brazilian midfielder Joao Gomes.
