As Jürgen Klopp’s tenure at Liverpool draws to a close, this match holds sentimental value as Anfield bids farewell to one of its greatest managers. With hopes of a late surge in the Premier League now dimmed, the focus shifts to honoring Klopp’s legacy. Wolves, the final opponents of the season, offer a chance for a fitting send-off amidst the Merseyside support’s adoration.
WOLVES’ LINEUP AND FORM:
Wolves face availability concerns with Craig Dawson and Leon Chiwone out, while doubts linger over Pablo Sarabia and Pedro Neto. Despite recent stumbles, including a loss to Crystal Palace and Manchester City, they aim to finish on a respectable note under Gary O’Neil’s guidance. The predicted lineup, featuring a 3-5-2 formation, aims to utilize Matheus Cunha’s flair alongside Hwang Hee-chan’s speed.
LIVERPOOL’S AVAILABILITY AND STRATEGY:
Injuries plague Liverpool with Thiago Alcântara and the season-ending ACL injury of Joël Matip, while Diogo Joga’s fitness remains uncertain. Despite recent highs, including a thrilling draw with Aston Villa and a convincing win against Tottenham, Liverpool aims to secure a final victory. Klopp’s last lineup choice, featuring stars like Mohamed Salah and a midfield anchored by Dominik Szoboszlai, reflects his vision for one final hurrah.
CONTEST OUTLOOK:
With Anfield’s fervent support and the absence of title pressure, Liverpool enters as favorites. The match serves as a platform for players to impress incoming manager Arne Slot. As Klopp’s era concludes, a new chapter begins, symbolized by the transition on the field. Mohamed Salah emerges as the one to watch, poised to leave his mark on Klopp’s farewell. Prediction: Liverpool 2 – 0 Wolves.
