JAKARTA - Week 15 of the 2021 English Premier League scheduled Liverpool to play away to the Molineux Stadium which is the headquarters of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Ahead of the match which will be held on Saturday, December 4, Jurgen Klopp has been wary of the three home players.

According to Klopp, Wolverhampton is a team that has many quality players. From that note, he has pocketed a number of names that have the potential to be a nightmare for his team's backline.

The players Klopp is referring to are the Portuguese duo in midfield, Ruben Neves, and Joao Moutinho who are predicted to pose a threat. In addition, the Liverpool coach is also wary of Raul Jimenez, a Mexican striker who could break into his team's goal.

"They (Wolverhampton) have some players with good technique. (Ruben) Neves is available again, so pairing him with (Joao) Moutinho would be the right choice," Klopp told the club's official website, Saturday, December 4.

Furthermore, Klopp predicts that the strength of the host will be on the right-wing sector occupied by Jimenez. Where it could have made it difficult for the Reds' left defense.

"Whoever played on the wing and (Raul) Jimenez upfront. Too many terrible images of it. Now when I imagine it, it's still in my mind, "continued Klopp.

From existing records, Klopp then predicts tonight's match will be difficult. According to him, Bruno Lage's team is a very difficult team to deal with, for that Liverpool must try their best.

"It's a tough team to play against, they are notoriously difficult to score and don't even get a lot of shots on goal (from opponents), so you have to be creative," he said.

When the visit to Wolverhampton headquarters three points are needed by Liverpool, because they are currently competing closely at the top of the standings with Chelsea and Manchester United.

So far, Liverpool is in third place in the 2031 Premier League standings with 31 points. The results were collected by the Reds from nine wins, four draws, and one defeat.

Meanwhile, the opponents Wolverhampton are far adrift in the middle board. They are in ninth place with 21 points, six wins, three draws, and five defeats.
