English Premier
2012-01-31 - Wolverhampton Wander vs Liverpool
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Wolves second from the bottom of the Premiership will be hoping to create an upset when Liverpool comes visiting to the Molineux. Mick McCarthy's side comes into this match on a 10 match winless run and they need to get something from this clash. As it is Wolves are only a point away from safety but they have found it increasing hard to get points especially at home.
At the Molineux Wolves have taken just one point from their last four games on home soil. Their main problem has been a poor backline as in their last 19 games they have failed to register a single clean sheet. The fact that Wolves have found the target just three times in their seven previous top-flight meetings with Liverpool will be another factor which will be of concern to McCarthy.
Meanwhile Liverpool after beating Manchester United at the weekend, will now hope to turn their cup success into Premiership success. In their last two matches in the Cup competitions they have beaten both Manchester City and Manchester United but they need to remain consistent if they are to finish in the top four. For the record, Liverpool have won only one of their last six top-flight fixtures and are now six points away from a Champions League spot. The absence of Luis Suarez to suspension has had a big impact on Liverpool's performances, with the Reds taking just four points and scoring four goals in the four Premier League games the Uruguayan striker has not played with the Reds.

Wolves midfielder Karl Henry will be out as he is suspended for this clash. Former skipper Henry will have to serve a three-game ban for his dismissal against Aston Villa ten days ago. On-loan Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has been cleared by specialists to play after suffering an eye injury against Villa.
Midfielder Jamie O'Hara (hernia) and defender Jody Craddock (hamstring) could soon be back in action as they are playing for the reserves against Fulham.
Liverpool Team News :
Liverpool boss Dalglish may make changes after the two cup wins over Manchester City and Manchester United. Jay Spearing's hamstring problem, which has sidelined him for four matches, remains Dalglish's only injury doubt as Suarez serves the last game of his eight-match suspension here.
