Let’s take a look at the starting XI that Jurgen Klopp could go with against Wolves and don’t hesitate to give your say in the comments section.
Alisson
After keeping a 7th consecutive clean sheet against Manchester United, Alisson is now inching closer to the top of the clean sheets chart with only Kasper Schmiechel, Ben Foster and Dean Henderson keeping more than him. The Brazilian will be more than eager to join them in order to better his chances of winning the Premier League Golden Glove.
However, it won’t be easy for Alisson to keep the Wolves attackers at bay as he will be up against the likes of Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore, both of whom have been in fine form and are bound to cause him some trouble. The 27-year-old will be needed to be at his best if he is to keep an eighth successive clean sheet this week.
