Liverpool vs Wolves LIVE: Premier League result and latest updates today

Leaders Liverpool beat Wolves 2-1 on Sunday to restore their seven-point lead over nearest rivals Arsenal in the Premier League title race. The Reds looked to be easing to a comfortable victory at Anfield to bounce back from their shock FA Cup exit at Plymouth and the midweek Merseyside derby chaos, with Luis Diaz bundling in his first goal of 2025 early on before Mohamed Salah doubled the lead from the penalty spot after Diaz was fouled by Jose Sa.

However, Wolves were much improved after the break and created a number of chances, with Liverpool failing to register a shot other than Salah seeing a second goal ruled out for offside as a second penalty award for Emmanuel Agbadou’s challenge on Diogo Jota was overturned. Matheus Cunha curled home a glorious effort with 23 minutes to play to set up a grandstand finish, but spirited Wolves could not find a late equaliser as Jarell Quansah made a crucial last-gasp intervention to deny new signing Marshall Munetsi.

Liverpool now move onto a potentially tough midweek trip to Aston Villa, having held on to respond to Arsenal’s late win at Leicester on Saturday. Wolves, meanwhile, remain 17th and just two points above the relegation zone after 10-man Ipswich drew at Villa. Follow Liverpool vs Wolves live below!

Full-time

Liverpool hold on to restore their seven-point lead over Arsenal at the Premier League summit once more.

But my word was that nervy after Cunha’s superb strike, with Salah’s second goal ruled out and a second penalty award overturned after the Egyptian’s first-half spot-kick and an early goal from Luis Diaz.

It might well have been a draw, if not for Quansah’s last-ditch intervention to deny Munetsi.

Wolves stay 17th and only two points above the relegation zone despite a plucky second-half effort at Anfield.

That was a vital intervention from Quansah.

A superb goal from Matheus Cunha, whom Arne Slot said ahead of the game could play for any team in the top five of the Premier League...

Liverpool 2-1 Wolves

15:34

73 mins: Liverpool cannot get their bearings here or keep hold of the ball for very long.

15:26 , George Flood

67 mins: Now then!

A wonderful flick by Bellegarde finds Cunha, who fools both Gravenberch and Van Dijk before bending an unstoppable effort beyond Alisson and into the far bottom corner.

A superb strike and it’s very much game on at Anfield now.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

15:25 , George Flood

63 mins: Cunha rifles over for Wolves before Slot sends on Conor Bradley in place of Alexander-Arnold.

Darwin Nunez is also coming on for Liverpool. Jota to make way.

Santiago Bueno comes on.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

15:20 , George Flood

58 mins: Referee Simon Hooper has gone to consult the pitchside monitor and this second Liverpool penalty award is going to be overturned.

Replays show there was clearly no contact from a sliding Agbadou on Jota, who then brought his foot into the Wolves defender before hitting the deck.

No penalty and Jota gets away without a booking.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

15:17 , George Flood

57 mins: Another penalty to Liverpool!

This time Agbadou brings down Jota after good work from Gravenberch and Szoboszlai.

Robertson was almost in at the back post too moments before.

Salah to step up again. Agbadou is down and will need treatment.

Hang on, VAR is looking at this...

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

15:14 , George Flood

52 mins: Alisson has gone down here and the referee’s whistle immediately sounds.

An issue with his leg it appears but he’s quickly patched up and looks fine to continue.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

15:11 , George Flood

50 mins: GOAA... NO!

Salah cuts inside off the right flank and finds the bottom corner.

But the offside flag is up and the decision stands after a VAR check.

It stays 2-0 for now.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

15:09

49 mins: A bright start to this second half from Wolves with Cunha almost having some immediate joy before Alisson makes a vital save to come out and deny Zimbabwean midfielder Munetsi a quick first Premier League goal.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

15:06 , George Flood

Back underway at Anfield.

Quansah has indeed replaced Konate at half-time - a very sensible decision from Slot.

Wolves have made two half-time changes of their own in a bid to find a route back into this game, with Munetsi and Bellegarde on for Guedes and Sarabia.

A first Premier League appearance for deadline day signing Munetsi.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

15:00

Not your usual Mo Salah penalty, but he doesn’t tend to miss them...

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

14:49 , George Flood

Half-time

Diaz's goal and a Salah penalty have the Reds comfortably ahead at the interval.

Cunha came mighty close with a free-kick in response for Wolves though and Konate is running the risk of being sent off.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

14:49 , George Flood

48 mins: Diaz leads a fast Liverpool attack but falls under pressure from Agbadou, who is already on a booking.

No free-kick given as Wolves have a couple of shots blocked inside the box.

Slightly frantic back there from the Reds before the interval.

Replays show that was a great decision from referee Hooper, by the way.

Never a foul by Agbadou on Diaz.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

14:46

45 mins: Harmlessly off target from Sarabia as Wolves try in vain to hit back before the break.

Three minutes of added time have been signalled.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

14:44 , George Flood

43 mins: Good football from Liverpool as Szoboszlai tees up Salah for a curling effort that is blazed over the bar.

A 10th shot of this first half from the Reds.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

14:44 , George Flood

41 mins: Quansah is already out warming up for Liverpool.

You’d expect to see him on at half-time with Konate probably one foul away from a second yellow card.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

14:42 , George Flood

39 mins: Inches wide from the resulting free-kick from Cunha with Alisson at full stretch.

A warning for Liverpool not to get too comfortable here with half-time approaching.

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

14:41

38 mins: Konate clumsily clatters into Cunha, with Wolves demanding a second yellow card.

It’s actually Agbadou who ends up being cautioned for waving an imaginary card.

Konate is lucky there.

GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Wolves | Mohamed Salah (pen) 37'

14:39

37 mins: Salah lofts the ball straight down the middle!

Cool as you like.

A mountain to climb for Wolves now.

Liverpool 1-0 Wolves

14:36 , George Flood

35 mins: Penalty to Liverpool as Diaz is brought down by goalkeeper Sa after a failed clearance by Agbadou.

Wolves feel that Diaz pushed Agbadou there.

Salah to step up to double the lead...

Liverpool 1-0 Wolves

14:33 , George Flood

32 mins: Sa steers away Robertson’s dangerous cross from the left before recovering and staying alert to keep out Jota’s low drive at his near post.

The subsequent corner is cleared only as far as Alexander-Arnold, who sends a spinning half-volley comfortably over the crossbar.

Liverpool 1-0 Wolves

14:32

30 mins: Konate comes forward and is dispossessed easily by Joao Gomes before dragging back Cunha.

He joins Doherty in the book as the referee makes clear that it’s for an accumulation of fouls by the French defender.

Liverpool 1-0 Wolves

14:30 , George Flood

28 mins: Wolves feel they are not getting the decisions they deserve from Simon Hooper here and Vitor Pereira lets him know as much from the touchline.

A yellow card is shown to the irate Wolves boss.

Liverpool 1-0 Wolves

14:29 , George Flood

A first Liverpool goal since December for Luis Diaz.

Certainly not the finest finish of his career, but he won’t care.

Liverpool 1-0 Wolves

14:28 , George Flood

26 mins: Danger for Wolves as Szoboszlai charges forward and rifles a low effort narrowly wide of the post with Sa at full stretch.

Liverpool 1-0 Wolves

14:27 , George Flood

24 mins: A Wolves free-kick into the box is headed clear and here come Liverpool again.

Doherty ends up in the book as Wolves try to counter and eventually end up with the free-kick, but not early enough for his liking as he protests to referee Simon Hooper.

That’s the first caution of the afternoon.

Liverpool 1-0 Wolves

14:23 , George Flood

21 mins: Liverpool force another corner that is headed over by Jota.

Ait-Nouri and Toti Gomes then almost get themselves into all sorts of bother inside their own box under pressure from Salah and Jota.

Agbadou helps to avert the danger.

Liverpool 1-0 Wolves

14:20

18 mins: A nice touch inside the box from Cunha as Wolves look for an instant reply, but Konate is there to sweep up for Liverpool.

Some rusty touches for Alexander-Arnold early on at Anfield.

GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Wolves | Luis Diaz 15'

14:16 , George Flood

15 mins: Liverpool break the deadlock early at Anfield!

It’s a very untidy goal, but they all count.

Toti Gomes inadvertently flicks up Salah’s ball and it bounces in off a stumbling Diaz with Sa trying and failing to snuff out the danger.

A really poor goal for Wolves to concede, though it was good work in the build-up from all of the front three of Diaz, Jota and Salah.

Liverpool 0-0 Wolves

14:15 , George Flood

13 mins: Good defending from Van Dijk to stop Semedo, while the offside flag is up as Toti Gomes knocks back to Sa and he boots into touch with Salah lurking.

Liverpool 0-0 Wolves

14:13

11 mins: The ball is moving quickly back and forth now with both teams seeing quick moves snuffed out.

The pace and intensity is starting to build, with Wolves trying to release Guedes but Alisson coming out to claim bravely at his feet.

Liverpool 0-0 Wolves

14:11 , George Flood

9 mins: Plenty of pressure and possession for Liverpool in the opening stages at Anfield, as you might expect, while Wolves are not shy in bringing defenders forward on the counter.

A second Reds corner from the right is initially cleared before the ball ends up in the hands of a grateful Jose Sa.

Liverpool 0-0 Wolves

14:09 , George Flood

7 mins: Wolves can’t effectively clear their lines after a couple of crosses, the second from Alexander-Arnold, and Jota sends a left-footed volley well wide.

Liverpool 0-0 Wolves

14:07

6 mins: A good spell of possession now for Liverpool as they crank up the early pressure, but Diaz’s cross into the box after taking on Semedo is headed away by Toti Gomes.

Wolves look for Cunha on the counter-attack but he’s too isolated and the danger is quickly thwarted.

Liverpool 0-0 Wolves

14:05 , George Flood

3 mins: Wolves come forward for the first time this afternoon and it’s very sloppy from Alexander-Arnold as his slightly rogue back pass can only be drilled behind for a corner by a sliding Alisson.

Cunha’s delivery from the left is cleared- straight back to him with Alisson under some serious pressure in the six-yard box.

Wolves are forced all the way back to goalkeeper Jose Sa to reset.

Liverpool 0-0 Wolves

14:02 , George Flood

1 min: Salah earns Liverpool’s first corner within seconds.

They work it short and Robertson cleverly feeds Alexander-Arnold, who miscues an effort well wide.

Liverpool vs Wolves

14:00 , George Flood

After a typically stirring pre-match rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone, we are underway at Anfield!

Both sides are in their respective home strips. Simon Hooper is today’s referee, with John Brooks on VAR duty.

Can Liverpool bounce back from their huge FA Cup upset and last-gasp Merseyside derby disappointment to restore a seven-point lead at the Premier League summit?

Or will Wolves enjoy some rare success at this famous old ground to make it three wins in a row to put some key distance to the relegation zone?

It’s time to find out...

Liverpool vs Wolves

13:57 , George Flood

Here come the teams at Anfield, where Liverpool have won nine of the last 10 Premier League meetings between these two sides.

They have won 15 of the last 16 games between the clubs in the top-flight overall.

Liverpool resist more changes despite packed schedule

13:51 , George Flood

Jamie Carragher expresses some surprise on Sky Sports that Arne Slot did not make one or two more changes today, with a tough trip to Aston Villa coming up in midweek.

He says he expected Kostas Tsimikas to deputise for Andy Robertson at left-back with the key games coming thick and fast.

Meanwhile, Wolves’ XI shows just one change from their last Premier League outing, a 2-0 home win over Midlands rivals Villa at Molineux.

It’s in midfield, with Joao Gomes preferred to Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.

Arne Slot: Next time I hope I will act differently

13:47

Here’s more from Arne Slot speaking to Sky Sports, again expressing regret for his post-match actions at Goodison...

Alexander-Arnold surpasses Gerrard with major Liverpool milestone

13:37 , George Flood

A hugely impressive milestone for Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield this afternoon.

At 26 and 132 days, he is the youngest player ever to reach 250 Premier League appearances for Liverpool, surpassing a certain Steven Gerrard.

But will he be staying put beyond the summer amid that ongoing contract saga and renewed links with Real Madrid?

Diogo Jota leading the line for Liverpool

13:33 , George Flood

Arne Slot confirms in his pre-match interview with Sky Sports that it will be Diogo Jota playing through the middle for Liverpool this afternoon.

He sees it as a key chance for the Portuguese to get some valuable minutes after a rather stop-start campaign so far due to injury.

Jota has not started a Premier League game since October 20, when he suffered a rib injury against Chelsea and missed the next nearly two months.

Five Wolves changes after Blackburn win in FA Cup

13:13 , George Flood

Vitor Pereira makes five changes to the Wolves team that won 2-0 away at Championship promotion-chasers Blackburn in the FA Cup fourth round last weekend.

Jose Sa is back in goal in place of Sam Johnstone, who isn’t on the bench.

Matt Doherty, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Andre and Pablo Sarabia also return in place of Hugo Bueno, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Rodrigo Gomes and the injured Hwang Hee-chan.

Deadline day signings Marshall Munetsi and Nasser Djiga are both on the bench as they each look to make their league debuts, the former having come off the bench at Ewood Park.

Two Liverpool changes as Alexander-Arnold and Jota start

13:00 , George Flood

So that’s two Liverpool changes from the midweek Merseyside derby.

Trent Alexander-Arnold made his return from a two-game injury absence off the bench at Goodison Park, replacing Conor Bradley as the latter ran the risk of a second yellow card in the second half.

That change is made from the start today as Alexander-Arnold makes his 250th Reds appearance, while Cody Gakpo does miss out through injury as expected.

Diogo Jota gets his place in attack over Darwin Nunez, who remains on the bench.

Federico Chiesa is also among the Liverpool substitutes in the absence of Gakpo, with young midfielder James McConnell promoted to the bench with Curtis Jones’ suspension.

Wolves lineup

12:52 , George Flood

Wolves XI: Sa, Doherty, Semedo, Agbadou, Toti, Ait-Nouri, Andre, Gomes, Sarabia, Guedes, Cunha

Subs: Bentley, Bueno, Munetsi, Traore, Doyle, Forbs, Bellegarde, Djiga, Lima

Liverpool lineup

12:49

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Salah, Jota, Diaz

Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Nunez, Chiesa, Elliott, Tsimikas, McConnell, Quansah, Bradley

Why Arne Slot in Liverpool dugout despite red card

12:43

So as mentioned, Liverpool are without Curtis Jones today due to suspension after the wild scenes that immediately followed the final whistle in Wednesday’s chaotic Merseyside derby - the last one to take place at Goodison Park - that saw the Reds denied a valuable win that would have sent them nine points clear thanks to James Tarkowski’s 98th-minute hammer volley.

Jones took exception to Abdoulaye Doucoure celebrating that last-gasp leveller in front of the travelling fans, sprinting over to confront him, leading to a bust-up and huge melee involving both sets of players that saw police and stadium security intervene to try and restore peace.

Both Jones and Doucoure were shown second yellow cards by referee Michael Oliver, who then dished out straight reds to both Liverpool boss Arne Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff for their protests regarding the Tarkowski goal - which they felt should have been ruled out for a push on Ibrahima Konate by Beto.

Liverpool also felt that far too much stoppage time had been played following an accidental collision between Everton defenders Jarrad Branthwaite and Carlos Alcaraz.

But with no automatic touchline bans enforced for manager sendings off, Slot is still facing an anxious wait to see what his punishment will be, leaving him free to coach from the dugout as usual today along with Hulshoff.

Slot could be facing a potential extended ban having already served a one-match touchline suspension in the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Southampton in December after collecting three yellow cards.

Slot and Hulshoff were both hit with FA charges on Friday, while Liverpool and Everton were both charged with failing to ensure their players "did not behave in an improper and/or provocative way" after the full-time whistle.

They all have until Wednesday to respond.

Wolves vs Liverpool prediction

12:23

Liverpool’s impressive dominance under Arne Slot has begun to ease off a bit of late, with the Reds failing to win exactly half of their matches across all competitions since the start of 2025 - having won 23 of their previous 27, according to Opta Sports.

While it has not really cost them at all so far aside from a shock FA Cup exit with a second-string side out, the Reds will be keen to reassert some authority here against relegation-battling opponents, with key games against Aston Villa, Manchester City and Newcastle coming up ahead of the small matter of the Carabao Cup final and another Merseyside derby contest.

Wolves have a terrible recent record both against Liverpool and at Anfield and have been something of an inconsistent proposition under Vitor Pereira so far after their previous struggles under predecessor Gary O’Neil.

A shortage of forwards places a lot of pressure on Matheus Cunha to shoulder the goalscoring load, with chances expected to be few and far between this afternoon.

We anticipate Liverpool quickly shrugging off the Plymouth debacle and Goodison carnage with a comfortable victory to restore their seven-point title lead with 13 games to go.

Liverpool to win, 3-0.

Wolves team news: Hwang Hee-chan injured

12:08

Wolves are without Hwang Hee-chan this afternoon after the South Korean striker was substituted during the first half of last weekend’s 2-0 FA Cup fourth round win at Blackburn with a hamstring injury.

Manager Vitor Pereira has confirmed that Hwang is expected to miss the next two or three games, with fellow forward Jorgen Strand Larsen expected to train on Saturday after his own injury lay-off but unlikely to be involved at Anfield.

Mali midfielder Boubacar Traore has been battling illness of late, while striker Sasa Kalajdzic is still out along with Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez and Leon Chiwome.

Liverpool team news: Cody Gakpo doubtful

12:01 , George Flood

Liverpool could be without Cody Gakpo this afternoon after the Dutch forward went off with a knock 20 minutes before the end of Wednesday’s hectic Merseyside derby.

If he isn’t fit to start at Anfield today, then it would presumably be Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez battling for the vacant spot in Arne Slot’s front three.

Curtis Jones serves a one-match suspension for his sending off in a post-match bust-up with Everton counterpart Abdoulaye Doucoure at Goodison, while Joe Gomez is still out with another hamstring injury along with young midfielder Tyler Morton.

Liverpool vs Wolves live

11:50 , George Flood

Leaders Liverpool will be looking to swiftly restore their seven-point advantage over nearest rivals Arsenal in the Premier League title race this afternoon after Mikel Merino’s late heroics off the bench at the King Power Stadium yesterday lunchtime saw the injury-hit Gunners overcome relegation-threatened Leicester and trim the gap down to four.

While still the top-flight’s dominant force this term, some weaknesses have just begun to show of late with their shock FA Cup exit at Plymouth and a chaotic midweek derby draw at Everton.

With some tough games on the way in such a short space of time, Liverpool will be eager to reinforce their superiority this afternoon against a Wolves team who have a dreadful record against them and particularly at Anfield, though who are searching for a third straight win across all competitions after seeing off Midlands rivals Aston Villa and then Blackburn in the FA Cup.

They will be aware that 10-man Ipswich’s battling draw at Villa Park yesterday has brought them back to within just two points of the relegation zone in 17th.

Kick-off today is at 2pm GMT, so stay tuned to Standard Sport for all the latest build-up, team news and live updates.

Arne Slot latest

11:05 , Giuseppe Muro

Arne Slot is likely to be in the dugout at Anfield this afternoon despite his red card at Everton on Wednesday.

The Liverpool manager was sent off by referee Michael Oliver after the full-time whistle at Goodison Park.

The Premier League initially reported on its website that Slot would be banned for two matches as a result.

But that was later deleted and any potential ban is unlikely to be imposed in time for the Wolves match, meaning Slot is likely to be on the touchline.

Liverpool vs Wolves stats

09:46 , Giuseppe Muro

- Liverpool won 23 of 27 league and cup games under Arne Slot prior to January but have failed to win six of 12 matches since the turn of the year (D3, L3)

- The Reds have scored at least twice in each of their past nine home league fixtures, netting 22 times in total during this run

- Wolves are vying to win back-to-back league matches for the third time this season, having beating Aston Villa in their last Premier League game two weeks ago

- The visitors have lost all seven of their Premier League away matches against sides starting the day top of the table.

Prediction

09:31 , Giuseppe Muro

It will be intriguing to see how Liverpool respond to the disappointment of conceding late against Everton, and whether that setback will throw them off course in the title race.

Arne Slot was clearly rattled after the full-time whistle at Goodison Park but Liverpool should have too much for Wolves.

Ahead of a tough run of three games against Aston Villa, Manchester City and Newcastle, the leaders need to win and will surely get the job done at Anfield.

Liverpool to win 3-0.

Slot to speak with Jones after Merseyside derby red card

Saturday 15 February 2025 23:00 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Arne Slot says he will speak to Curtis Jones after his red card in the recent Merseyside derby mayhem, but has praised the midfielder for standing up for Liverpool and the club’s fans.

Jones will be suspended for Sunday’s visit of Wolves to Anfield in the Premier League after being sent off in the chaos that followed the dramatic midweek draw with Everton in the last-ever clash between the local rivals to take place at Goodison Park.

The 24-year-old took exception to Abdoulaye Doucoure celebrating James Tarkowski’s emphatic last-gasp equaliser for the Toffees in front of the away fans, sprinting over to angrily confront his fellow midfielder as the bust-up sparked a huge melee involving both sets of players as police and stadium security were forced to intervene to restore order.

Slot admits Merseyside derby emotions

Saturday 15 February 2025 20:30 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has admitted that “emotions got the better of him” as he addressed the media for the first time since being sent off following Wednesday’s Merseyside derby.

The Reds boss received one of four total red cards shown by referee Michael Oliver during chaotic scenes after the full-time whistle in the last-ever showdown between the two rivals to take place at Goodison Park, which ended in a 2-2 draw after James Tarkowski’s dramatic 98th-minute equaliser for Everton.

Both Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff were shown red for their protests to Oliver, with Liverpool querying why so much additional stoppage time had been played and also feeling that the last-gasp leveller should have been disallowed for an alleged push on defender Ibrahima Konate by Toffees striker Beto inside the box.

Early Wolves team news

Saturday 15 February 2025 18:31 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Wolves have new signings Nasser Djiga and Marshall Munetsi available for their Premier League debuts, however, Hwan Hee-chan, who was forced off against Blackburn last weekend is set to miss out with a hamstring problem.

Jorgen Strand Larsen is close to a return but this game may come too soon for him.

Early Liverpool team news

Saturday 15 February 2025 16:30 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Midfielder Curtis Jones is suspended after being shown a red card after the final whistle against Everton.

Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton are injured, while Cody Gakpo is a doubt for Liverpool on Sunday.

Still, the news is more positive in regard to Trent Alexander-Arnold. The defender recovered from a knee injury to feature in the closing stages on Wednesday night and could be in line to start against Wolves.
