Wolves take on Liverpool in a Live on Sky game at 12:45 on Saturday at Molineux and will be hoping to stretch Kenny Dalglish’s non winning run to four games since his return to management. With games against Man Utd and Arsenal coming up it’s a game Wolves could do with getting something from as they aim to keep in touch with the pack in advance of the run in to the end of the season in the relegation battle.
The Reds were hoping that the return of Dalglish would galvanise their season and see them climbing towards the league positions they are more accustomed to. But since his return they have lost at Man Utd and Blackpool and drawn at home to Everton. So their 1-0 win at home to Bolton on new years day was their only success in the last 8 games. Gerrard getting himself sent off at Old Trafford and earning a three match ban was not what Dalglish needed to get some momentum going. They have home games next week against Stoke and Fulham that might see them start to get on the right track with Gerrard back in action and the possibility of some new signings. But they are surely vulnerable at Molineux on Saturday.
Wolves have brought in former Liverpool youth player Adam Hamill from Barnsley for an undisclosed fee that was presumably the £500k quoted in the release clause of his contract. He never got to play for the Liverpool first team but got plenty of experience on loans to Dunfermiline, Southampton, Blackpool and Barnsley clocking up a total of 74 games before signing for Barnsley and then getting another 64 games and 12 goals. He is 23 on Tuesday and can play either wing or behind the strikers and he may well be on the bench for Saturday’s game.
With Hunt and Fletcher now finally established in the team, Wolves will stick to the 4-4-2 line up against the Reds with Henry likely to replace Jones in midfield. Craddock will probably be on the bench as the Stearman and Berra combination have played their part in getting 4 clean sheets in Wolves last 8 games. The one part of the team where McCarthy has a decision to make is at full back. For the latter stages at Man City and for the full game against Doncaster, Zubar played left back and Mouyokolo came in at right back. I suspect that is how they will start against Liverpool in the continued absence of Elokobi through suspension. If Foley or Ward were fit they might be considered ahead of Mouyokolo for one of the full back slots.
With only 3 points seperating the bottom 6 places in the league there are going to be changes in position every week, and inevitably you are drawn to keeping an eye on the other results and fixtures. With Wigan, Birmingham and Villa in action against Arsenal, Man Utd and Man City respectively there is every chance of them all losing or getting a point at best, while West Ham also face a difficult game at Everton. Fulham at home to Stoke, and Albion at Blackburn, look to stand the best chances of much needed wins. But its a weekend where anything for Wolves would likely see them move out of the bottom 3 again.
