Goal Scorer:
Wolves
The Wolves medical team are only looking after one player in the form of Joe Hodge, who sustained a thigh injury towards the end of August, and there is still no indication as to when the 21-year-old might be back in action; Tommy Doyle should be back from a minor knee concern, though.

The early kickoff may still prove problematic for both managers, though, as South Korea's Hwang and Brazil's Cunha - the goalscorers at Selhurst Park - both have particularly tiring journeys back to the West Midlands, and it remains to be seen if O'Neil risks either man from the off.

Hwang was only on the bench against Palace before making his presence felt, though, while Sasa Kalajdzic is an option to deputise for Cunha should the South American need more time to recover from his international exertions.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Bueno; Sarabia, Lemina, Gomes, Neto; Kalajdzic, Silva

Liverpool
Similarly, Klopp - who has made no bones about his feelings towards 12:30 kickoffs - must conduct once-overs on the returning Alisson Becker, Alexis Mac Allister and Luis Diaz, while Uruguay boss Marcelo Bielsa revealed that Darwin Nunez had been carrying a muscular problem during the break.

The revitalised attacker had followed up his game-winning brace against Newcastle United with a pair of assists against Villa, but Klopp is confident that he will be ready for the weekend, although the same cannot be said for Thiago Alcantara following his hip setback.

Captain Virgil van Dijk has been banned for an extra game after admitting to a charge of improper conduct against Newcastle, and his deputy Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss out too, having sustained a thigh issue two weekends ago.

On a brighter note, Ibrahima Konate has trained after recovering from a muscle problem, and Joe Gomez should prove to be a capable deputy for Alexander-Arnold at right-back.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Matip, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Endo, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Jota
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-2 Liverpool
