THE PREDICTION

Anfield has always been a tricky place for away sides to visit, even more so now Liverpool are reigning champions. Therefore, it was expected of Wolves to perhaps struggle a bit when they went head-to-head with Klopp's men last week. But to lose 4-0 in that fashion may have come as a surprise to many, with Wolves’ lacklustre performance comparable with their average form and league position this season. Villa come into this one with an additional week’s rest following the postponement of their clash against Newcastle, which could play a part in the outcome on Saturday. Expect a close game but perhaps one Wolves will slightly edge.
