Liverpool XI vs Wolves: Nunez starts - Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest today

Liverpool take on Wolves today with Jurgen Klopp returning Darwin Nunez to the line-up.

January saw the Reds claim just one win in six but that, at least, came against this weekend’s opponents at Molineux.

Stefan Bajcetic continues his run in the side, aided by Liverpool’s injury issues worsening ahead of this game, but Harvey Elliott drops out.

Ibrahima Konate this week became the latest player to be struck down and will sit out around a fortnight of action due to a hamstring problem.

Fabio Carvalho is on the bench and reserve defender Nat Phillips is back from illness.

That means Roberto Firmino, Virgil van Dijk, Luis Diaz, Arthur Melo and Diogo Jota remain absent. Still, Jota will be back in full training next week, while Diaz is running on grass again and Firmino is closing in on a return.

Fabinho, James Milner and Jordan Henderson are all on the bench.

Cody Gakpo starts having failed to score in his first five Liverpool appearances since signing last month for £37million. He was recently described as “outstanding” by his manager.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Matip, Robertson; Keita, Bajcetic, Thiago; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez.
