Writing in his predictions column for the BBC, Chris Sutton has had a go at predicting Wolves vs Liverpool this weekend.
The Reds head to Molineux on Saturday afternoon, and they will be absolutely desperate to get a win here.
The Merseyside club are in shocking form, and they need to pick up a win here if they’re going to keep even the slimmest hope of finishing in the top four alive.
Unfortunately, Sutton doesn’t see Liverpool winning here, and he’s predicted a 0-0 draw between these two sides.

The pundit gave his verdict on how the game will go.
“Liverpool did beat Wolves in the FA Cup last month, but only after a replay when a VAR error saved their bacon late in the first game,” Sutton wrote.
“Both teams made lots of changes too, so it is hard to read too much into what happened in either game when it comes to calling this one.
“It would be easy to think Liverpool’s poor run will continue; I certainly don’t see them bouncing back like they used to under Klopp.
“They are really bad defensively – but I actually think they will be helped by Wolves’ lack of creativity. I don’t trust Wolves to score and that might mean Liverpool escape with a draw.”
Tough task
In years gone by, it would’ve been fair to predict that Liverpool would steamroll a team like Wolves, but this weekend, they’re not fancied by many.
The Reds just aren’t in their groove right now, and it’s hard to see how things are going to click back into place for the Merseyside club.
Liverpool will be hoping for a win here, but they face a tough task at Molineux.
