We're only weeks into 2023 but already Wolves and Liverpool are set to face off for the third time this year.
The two sides will battle it out this time for three points after sharing two FA Cup ties, with Liverpool emerging as victors in a 1-0 win at Molineux following a 2-2 draw at Anfield. With both teams now out of the cup, though, attention turns back to the Premier League and another clash in the midlands.
Liverpool are on a real low after suffering a late defeat to Brighton to end their reign as FA Cup holders. Jurgen Klopp's side need to start winning if they are to stand any chance of narrowing the 10-point gap to the top four. Meanwhile Wolves have managed to climb out of the relegation zone under Julen Lopetegui's management, but are only currently free of the drop zone on goal difference, with every point set to count between now and May.
Here is all you need to know about the match.
When is Wolves vs Liverpool?
The two sides will meet at Molineux on Saturday February 4 with kick-off scheduled for 3pm.

Harvey Elliott's stunning strike helped Liverpool emerge victorious on their last visit to Wolves' stadium. Wolves haven't earned a win over the Reds since 2019 and have only beaten them once in the Premier League era, a 1-0 win in 2010 courtesy of Stephen Ward's second-half goal.

Team news
Klopp is still juggling a raft of injuries and still has a number of big-name absentees. The only player he could welcome back into his starting XI from the defeat to Brighton is Darwin Nunez, who has recovered from his latest problem but only came off the bench during the FA Cup defeat.
The bad news for Liverpool's manager is her has another injury to add to his long list, as Ibrahima Konate has been ruled out for three weeks. That is likely to see Joe Gomez partner Joel Matip in defence.

New signings Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina are in line to make their full home debuts while Joao Gomes and Craig Dawson are also in contention.
