We said: Liverpool 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers

In many ways, Liverpool go into this match with nothing to lose, the expectancy being that Man City will win and anything else being a very welcome bonus. Even so, they cannot afford to let their minds drift to the Champions League final just yet, and while he will not take any risks with his team selection, Klopp will nonetheless put out a team that he feels will win against Wolves. Complacency very rarely creeps into Klopp's Liverpool, and with a host of first-teamers to return - and the fact that the result could mean a lot more to Liverpool than it does to Wolves - we are backing the Merseysiders to come away with the three points.
