Liverpool v Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Reds look to close in on top four against relegation-threatened Wolves

FT: Liverpool 2-0 Liverpool. What had been a frustrating night turns into a routine win for Liverpool. Van Dijk and Salah with the goals, which Wolves had no answer to. Liverpool were far from their best, but conceded very few chances and on balance were good value for this result.

Milner and Firminho replace ALexander-Arnold and Nunez. The latter was decent this evening and a willing runner.

Not bad for a team which let in five goals when they last played here, albeit in the Champions League.

The visitors have not tested Alisson anywhere near enough.

Costa is on for Jimenez.

The booked teenager is replaced.

Salah meets a Tsimikas cross with his thigh and Liverpool have a two-goal lead!

Jota's night is over and Gakpo - who had started every game since his arrival at Anfield - replaces him.

Van Dijk nods Liverpool ahead from close range! The Dutchman's initial header is saved, but Jota sends the rebound back in and the Liverpool captain is there to nod home.

Kilman and Dawson look to have a good thing going on at the back. This time it is Kilman mopping up and alleviating any danger.

Fabinho stops a counter-attack forming with a late tackle and is fortunate not to be booked.

Getting the goal ruled out comes as a cost as the Wolves captain is booked for his protests.

Following a Jota run the ball falls to Nunez, who shows admirable composure to fire home, but the VAR needs to have a look. Wolves feel Kilman was tripped by Jota, preventing him from being able to clear, and after taking a look on the pitch-side monitor the referee concurs.

Right place, right time again.

Moutinho and Nunes make way for Podence and Gomes. In Podence in particular, Wolves will be hoping for a bit more attacking output than they have thus far shown.

The game has more of an edge to it since the break and Liverpool are being more committed in possession, although it remains goalless.

A blocked pass ricochets towards the path of Jota, who could be through on goal, but Kilman makes a super sliding intervention to deny the ex-Wolves man.

Another decent opportunity comes the way of Elliott, but his shot is not the best and it is a routine save for Sa.

Fabinho and Lemina both fly in to a tackle in midfield, drawing appeals from both teams. Lemina jumped in but got the ball, Fabinho was over the top and effectively stamped on the Wolves man. Fabinho is booked and surprisingly there is no apparent VAR involvement.
