    Tushar Vyas: What are the odds on Liverpool losing against Wolves & West Ham?

    Paul McDevitt: While all the suggested teams, including Man City, have the potential to trip Liverpool up - especially when the Champions League picks up again - I suspect it will be a team fighting for survival that will pull off a surprise win against the Reds.

    Wolves have got a chance. Most Liverpool fans, I think this is the game they were worrying about in January - not Manchester United.

    If Wolves get the crowd going, they've got a great chance. But it's so hard to score against Liverpool.

    I can't call it. I'm looking forward to the game so much.

    Ole looked like a broken man last night didn't he?

    Could Sunday's FA Cup tie be his last match as Manchester United boss?

    Well worth it just for that Jay Rodriguez goal alone. Screamer!!

  5. Some big results yesterday...published at 19:05 GMT 23 January 2020

    WELL.

    Who saw Burnley beating Manchester United at Old Trafford? That was the second defeat in a row for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, who were simply terrible last night.

    They were jeered by their own supporters at full-time and unrest within the ground was pretty palpable.

    That was one of three games which took place last night - Leicester recorded a comfortable 4-1 win over West Ham, while Tottenham edged past bottom-of-the-table Norwich to claim their first Premier League win of 2020.

    Nice to see young Curtis Jones and Neco Williams on the Liverpool bench again. Very impressive in that FA Cup win over Everton.

    Wolves' 21-year-old striker Benny Ashley-Seal also makes the bench for the sixth time in the Premier League this season.

    Wolves subs: Ruddy, Boly, Gibbs-White, Jota, Giles, Kilman, Ashley-Seal

    So Liverpool are winning. A lot.

    Will they go unbeaten? If not, who will be the ones to break the run?

    Will it be Wolves tonight? Everton in March? Chelsea in their last home game of the season?

  10. The unbeaten recordspublished at 18:51 GMT 23 January 2020

    Wolves v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)

    Given Liverpool's ridiculous lead at the top of the table, the main talking point now is whether they can finish the season unbeaten.

    Liverpool have taken 91 points from the past 93 available in the Premier League. A win or draw would mean they become only the fifth team in the history of the English Football League to go 40 or more games undefeated.

    The other four clubs to do it?

    Nottingham Forest (42, 1977-78), Arsenal (49, 2003-04), Chelsea (40, 2004-05) and Huddersfield Town (43, 2011).

    So is this the day Liverpool finally lose?

    Wolves are unbeaten in their past seven evening kick-offs at home in the Premier League (7pm or later), winning five and drawing two.

    But Liverpool haven't lost away against Wolves in the league since August 1981.

    And they have won each of their last eight evening kick-offs, scoring 31 goals and conceding just six.

  11. The view from the toppublished at 18:47 GMT 23 January 2020

    Wolves v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)

    It's pretty rosy viewing for both sets of fans.

    Liverpool are 13 points ahead of Manchester City at the top with two games in hand. NICE.

    Wolves are level on points with Manchester United and Tottenham and will move back up to fifth place - three points off a Champions League spot - with victory tonight. NICE.

    Nuno's side have definitely enforced their position as 'the club who can challenge the top six' haven't they?

    Since the beginning of last season, only Liverpool and Manchester City have managed more points against the established top-six opposition than Wolves, who have taken 24.

    I was at Anfield for Liverpool's win over Wolves in December - they gave the leaders a run for their money!

    It's all happening at Molineux tonight, where league leaders Liverpool travel to Wolves in an attempt to extend the gap at the top.

    Wolves narrowly lost to the Reds at Anfield in December but can they get a result at home this time around?

    Kick-off is just over an hour away...
