Pundits have predicted Liverpool to struggle against Wolves tonight.

Sadio Mane’s lone goal was enough to separate the sides at Anfield in December, but some commentators reckon it could be a tricky evening for the Reds.

Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has predicted Liverpool to suffer their first league defeat this campaign in the match.

The former Arsenal and Celtic forward believes the game will end 2-1, as he highlighted Liverpool’s perceived fatigue as the main factor in the match .

Nicholas said: “I genuinely thought Liverpool looked tired and leggy, especially at the end, against Manchester United. Some of those players were dead on their feet.

“That being said, I see Liverpool’s first defeat of the season coming on Thursday, but it will not change the destiny of the Premier League title.

“Wolves relish the games against the top-six sides. They looked assured at Anfield but got nothing from it. “

Mark Lawrenson expects a 1-1 draw, as he called the game one of the Reds’ most difficult games for a long time.
