Liverpool take on Wolves on Saturday looking to make two wins in two in the Premier League
Liverpool first-choice goalkeeper Alisson is fit for the trip to face Wolves on Saturday (5:30pm kick-off). The Reds are looking to continue their strong start under Arne Slot but face a difficult trip to the West Midlands.
Following the 3-0 win over AFC Bournemouth last weekend, Liverpool are looking to keep up with Manchester City after the reigning champions emerged as the early pace-setters. They will have an extra spring in their step after an emphatic 5-1 win over West Ham United in the Carabao Cup.
There was a first start and an assist for Federico Chiesa as he managed 60 minutes in his second Anfield appearance. There are no fresh injury concerns, with Harvey Elliott recovering from a foot injury, and a boost for the Reds with Alisson set to return to the fold after missing out with a muscle injury.

“We think he is [ready to play],” said the head coach on Friday. “He trained yesterday a part of our session with the group, so we’re expecting him to do the whole session today. So, we think he is available but of course we have to train today.

“And of course we’re really happy with Alisson being back but I want to emphasise the fact that Caoimhin [Kelleher] did really well in the two games he was in goal for us, so another example of me having two, and I think even three, good options in certain positions.”
