Wolverhampton Wanderers host Liverpool at Molineux on Monday night, and they will be hoping to add another Premier League defeat to the Reds’ record.
Liverpool have been dismal in the Premier League of late, losing six of their last seven games in the top flight despite bouncing back in the Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have particularly struggled at home, so will have hope of picking up a win on their travels tomorrow night.
Liverpool are still without their three top centre backs though, with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip all out for the rest of the season.
Teams have been exploiting their absences by running riot against a makeshift Liverpool defence, but Pedro Neto doesn’t seem all that excited.
The 21-year-old has been Wolves’ star player this season, stepping up following Diogo Jota’s move to – ironically – Liverpool.
Neto will be the biggest threat for Wolves on Monday night, but he has told the club’s official website that he actually wishes Van Dijk and Matip were playing.
Neto feels that he needs to test himself against the best players around, and the Liverpool absences mean he can’t do that.
“I have to be honest, I would rather play against van Dijk or Matip because I like to test myself against the best so I can improve my game,” said Neto. “The best thing we can do in football to learn, is to play with the best.”
“I came to this league to play with the best and to play against the best, and to show that I can do my job and play my game whoever is on the pitch,” he added.
