JURGEN KLOPP has reached arguably the lowest point of his time at Liverpool and he faces what is now a crunch FA Cup replay at in-form Wolves on Tuesday in a competition that has suddenly become extremely important for them.
Liverpool's poor season reached a new low at the weekend as they were comfortably turned over by Brighton and the German boss described it as the worst performance since he arrived in 2015.
Certainly, it's been an appalling campaign for his Liverpool side who are now mid-table also-rans. After 18 league games, Liverpool have scored fewer goals, conceded more, won fewer points and have a worse goal difference than at any time since he arrived.
So a trip to face Wolves at Molineux is now of the utmost importance. And they couldn't have picked a worse time to face them.
Julen Lopetegui has rejuvenated the Black Country outfit and their only defeats in the last nine games were to Arsenal and Manchester United.
Their weekend 1-0 win over West Ham was a huge success and they have gone from being by far the lowest scorers in the league to a side that look dangerous in front of goal.
They were the better side at Anfield too in the first game and have their tails up for this against the fragile Reds.
How the bookies view it
Despite their recent form, Liverpool are still odds-on favourites across the board and UniBet's 17/20 is the best price for them.
Wolves will surely have plenty of backers at 16/5 with bet365 and the draw is 11/4 with Paddy Power.
Recent head to heads
The sides drew 2-2 at Anfield in the only meeting of the teams so far this season.
Liverpool have won the previous last seven meetings though.
Players to watch
Daniel Podence was the hero for Wolves on Saturday with the only goal of the game against the Hammers and the Portuguese star is 9/2 to score anytime with bet365.
Liverpool's star January signing Cody Gakpo will be desperate to open his account and he is 2/1 with Paddy Power to score anytime.
Anything else catch the eye?
The way Liverpool are playing at the moment combined with injuries to too many of their big players means all the value is with Wolves.
Indeed, it would take a hell of a brave punter to back Liverpool at odds-on against anyone at the moment and it also remains to be seen what kind of team Klopp puts out with a home game aginst Chelsea to come on Saturday where it would be unthinkable not to win.
Their defence looks devoid of confidence too and this new-look Wolves team are capable of breaching it…maybe even twice at 2/1 with bet365.
