Wolves vs Liverpool team news

Despite scoring in the first leg, Goncalo Guedes has been left out of the squad and the fitness of Diego Costa is still a cause of concern for the hosts.

Mario Lemina is expected to start in midfield in place of Joao Moutinho who is still not fit enough to play from the onset.

Adama Traore and Raul Jimenez will both start and offer a more potent attacking threat for the home team.

For Liverpool, Naby Keita, Joe Gomez, Kostas Tsimikas and Fabio Carvalho should also be considered for recalls.

Nunez missed out on the game at the Amex and is unlikely to be fit to return to the starting XI, meaning Salah, Cody Gakpo and Fabio Carvalho will lead the line.
