  • Liverpool are unbeaten in six matches

  • Hugo Ekitike has scored 12 goals this term, including five in his last four outings

  • Recommended bet: Hugo Ekitike first goalscorer

Liverpool's midwinter slump has been halted by a run of six matches without defeat and they can maintain their revival with a victory over woeful Wolves. 

Key to Liverpool's upturn in form has been Hugo Ekitike, who has been banging in the goals to help the Premier league champions claw their way back into top-four contention.

The Frenchman is in a rich vein of form and should be backed to keep his run going in what should be a routine home win for the champions at Anfield on Saturday.

Team news

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah is away on duty with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations and Dominic Szoboszlai is suspended after picking up five yellow cards.

Alexander Isak is set for a long spell out with a broken leg picked up in the win over Tottenham, while Conor Bradley and Florian Wirtz are doubts after also limping out of that contest. They could join Cody Gakpo, Joe Gomez, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni on the sidelines.

Yerson Mosquera returns for Wolves after a one-match ban but the game could come too soon for Hugo Bueno, while Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Marshall Munetsi and Rodrigo Gomes are all long-term absentees.

That quarter has been joined on the sidelines by Toti Gomes, while Emmanuel Agbadou is on Africa Cup of Nations duty with Ivory Coast.

The stats

Wolves have lost 11 matches in a row, failing to score in seven of those games.

Liverpool have won seven of their last eight meetings at home to Wolves, keeping five clean sheets, while they are unbeaten in six matches.

Hugo Ekitike has scored five goals in his last four outings.

The Old Gold have mustered just two goals in eight away games in the Premier League this season, seven of which they have lost.

Prediction

Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-1 last week to extend their unbeaten streak to six matches and their revival should continue with a more comfortable success over Wolves.

The Reds remain far from their best but each win restores another sliver of confidence and they were in control for much of the victory over Spurs, while their last home match yielded a decent 2-0 victory over Brighton.

And another three points looks likely against a Wolves side who have yet to record a Premier League victory this term and who already look doomed to the drop even with five months of the campaign still to come.

Rob Edwards' beleaguered outfit have picked up just two points this season and they have lost 11 straight matches in all competitions.

That sequence looks set to be extended at Anfield on Saturday where Hugo Ekitike looks the best-value bet to continue his rich vein of form.

The Frenchman has bagged 12 goals in 30 matches for club and country this season, including five in his last four outings for the Reds.

Even the best defence has found him too hot to handle and he could enjoy another fruitful afternoon against a rearguard nowhere near one of the strongest. Leading the line, Ekitike can be expected to open the scoring at Anfield.

Back Hugo Ekitike first goalscorer at 5/2 with LiveScore Bet.
