It was a good week for Jürgen Klopp and his Liverpool. Decisive for their options to enter the next Champions League. Liverpool, currently 7 to 9 points from the said Eurotournament, plays tonight against Julen Lopetegui’s Wolves (in a pending match) for the fourth time in 11 games (in the FA Cup, 2-2 and in tiebreaker, 0 -1 for ‘red). In the Premier, 3-0 for Wolves. On Sunday Liverpool face Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United in English football’s biggest classic.

In a turbulent season, in terms of Premier results, for Liverpool, now is the time when they cannot fail. The ‘red’ defense did not allow mistakes against Adama Traoré, Pablo Sarabia or Raúl Jiménez. Klopp said on Tuesday: “This is a very important week. I hope not to repeat the mistakes and give the season a little push”. He hopes Darwin Núñez can play today, but he doubts. Everything points to Ibrahima Konaté will return.
Meanwhile, Lopetegui said that “we have to be close to perfection to beat Liverpool, each of the 4 games we’ve played against them has been different and I think this one will be the same”. The Wolves coach assured that “Anfield is a stadium that pushes a lot”.
Regarding his infirmary, Lopetegui indicated that Cunha’s injury is not as serious as expected, but he does not know if he will be able to play against Liverpool. Pedro Neto is getting better and I might participate in the meeting. Boubacar Traoré suffered and will return in a week, while Hwang Hee-chan is not yet ready to return. Wolves are 15th, 3 points from relegation.
