Liverpool have now lost their last two Premier League matches, with no goals scored, five conceded and three players sent off. Kenny Dalglish is not a happy man but the Scot should be smiling on Saturday, after his side host Wolves at Anfield. That is because the visitors are in a far worse predicament than their hosts. Dalglish can, justified or not, have excuses for the Reds' recent woes but Mick McCarthy could offer no explanation for his team's pathetic performance against QPR last weekend, with the only fight shown the misplaced aggression of Karl Henry against Joey Barton.

It is, therefore, no surprise to see Liverpool installed as 2/5 favourites, at Boylesports, to beat Wolves this weekend and the bookmakers are fully justified in making the hosts short priced favourites. Prior to the defeats at Stoke and Tottenham, Liverpool had been playing very well and they were being talked about as certainties for a top four finish. Although enthusiasm may have been dampened by recent results, they are still a side capable of playing fantastic football, providing that they can keep eleven men on the pitch.

Luis Suarez, who is 18/5 at Unibet to open the scoring, may not be grabbing headlines in the same way that Manchester City's Sergio Aguero is but the Uruguyan's impact at Anfield cannot be over-stated. His pace and energy, not to mention sublime skill, allows the Liverpool midfielders to play positive football and Stewart Downing, Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson look better players when they are alongside Suarez.

Saturday should also see the return of Steven Gerrard to the Liverpool side and the England international's potential partnership with the South American is very exciting. Gerrard's goal threat will also be crucial to the Reds as the season progresses and he is 6/1, at Sky Bet, to mark his return with the game's opening goal.

That should all spell trouble for Wolves, who have failed to score in their last three Premier League matches. McCarthy's team may have began the season well but they are very one dimensional and if Matt Jarvis and Kevin Doyle can be stopped then there is very little to like about them as an attacking side. It is 9/1 at Stan James that they win at Anfield or 4/1 that they draw with Liverpool but that looks unlikely.

Instead, it is worth looking at the handicap market, where Liverpool are 43/40 (bet365) to win by two or more goals. The Reds managed this against both Arsenal and Bolton and they can do so again when they take on Wolves this weekend.

Recommendation

Match Handicap (-1 Goal) - Liverpool (43/40, bet365)
