Liverpool welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Anfield on Saturday for a Premier League Matchday 18 fixture with very different pressures on both sides. According to SoftFootball , Arne Slot has described the festive Anfield atmosphere as a special tradition as Liverpool look to end 2025 on a positive note despite ongoing challenges.
The build-up has been dominated by Liverpool's growing injury list. Record signing Alexander Isak is facing months on the sidelines after undergoing ankle surgery , a major blow confirmed by SoftFootball, while Mohamed Salah is away with Egypt at AFCON .
