Liverpool play Wolves on Thursday as they look to keep the high going after a fantastic 2-0 win over Manchester United.

The Midlands side will be tricky opposition and have a fantastic never-say-die attitude, which was perfectly captured by their 3-2 win against Southampton – in which they were 2-0 down at half time.

No other side has picked up more points from losing positions than Nuno Espirito Santo’s team with 18 and have led games for the least amount of any side in the Premier League with 305.

This will be an interesting tussle with Liverpool, who have led the most out of any team with over 1,000 winning minutes in the bank. So then, Wolves – who have won 18 points from losing positions and don’t lead for long but are sixth in the league – will take on the Reds, who are the complete opposite.

They have a number of excellent players in the side, from Adama Troure to Raúl Jiménez (who has 10 goals and six assists). Portuguese duo João Moutinho and Ruben Neves will try and orchestrate the midfield, too.

Everyone knows that this will not be an easy game, and we’ve gone through the three key battles that will decide the outcome of the fixture.
