Wolverhampton Wanderers will welcome Liverpool to Molineux in the Premier League on Tuesday night.
Rob Edwards’s side will come into this clash after claiming just their second league victory of the season with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Friday evening.
While that result will have boosted morale around Molineux, Wolves remain a sizeable 14 points adrift of automatic safety.
However, if the Old Gold can spring another shock by toppling Liverpool on Tuesday night, belief in a great escape may slowly begin to grow.
As for Arne Slot’s side, they will head to Molineux in high spirits after thrashing West Ham 5-2 at Anfield on Saturday.
That emphatic victory marked the Reds’ third successive top-flight win and further strengthened their push for a top four finish.
How the bookies view it: Reds to record another victory
After winning each of their last three Premier League matches, it's no surprise to see Liverpool come into this clash as short-priced 2/5 favourites on bet365.
Wolves are as big as 13/2 on Betfred to bag back-to-back victories in the Premier League for the first time this season, while the draw is also deemed unlikely at 19/5 on BetVictor.
Head to head: Reds rule the roost
Liverpool hold the upper hand in this fixture, winning 65 of the 120 competitive meetings between the pair, with Wolves victorious on 37 occasions and 18 matches ending in draws.
The Reds ran out 2-1 winners in this season's reverse fixture, and the same scoreline on Tuesday night can be backed at 8/1 on bet365.
Players to watch: Another goal for Hugo?
Having hit one goal and set up another two in Saturday's 5-2 win over West Ham, Hugo Ekitike looks the value option in the anytime goalscorer market on Tuesday night at 10/11 on PaddyPower.
Wolves Joao Gomes made the net bulge with one of his three efforts on Friday night, and the tough-tackling Wolves midfielder looks a touch too big to ignore to pull the trigger at least once here at 5/6 on bet365.
Predicted line-ups
Wolves boss Edwards will be forced to make at least one change on Wednesday night, after midfielder Andre was forced off with a hamstring injury against Aston Villa last time out. The hosts, however, are hopeful that Hwang Hee-Chan will be back in contention this midweek.
As was the case at the weekend, Liverpool will again be unable to call upon the services of injured quartet Alexander Isak, Conor Bradley, Florian Wirtz and Wataru Endo.
Wolves: Sa, Mosquera, S Bueno, Toti; Tchatchoua, Bellegarde, J Gomes, H Bueno; A Gomes, Armstrong, Mane
Liverpool: Alisson, Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Ekitike
Anything else catch the eye?
With Liverpool too short to side with at the aforementioned odds, instead look for them to win alongside under 4.5 goals at 4/5 on bet365.
This formula would have been a winning one in five of Liverpool's six Premier League victories away from Anfield this season.
The case is further strengthened by the fact that the same combination clicked in this season's reverse fixture.
