Lineups, team news, confirmed starting teams as Jota replaces Gakpo

Liverpool will go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League if they beat fourth-bottom Wolves at Anfield on Sunday (2pm GMT).

Trent Alexander-Arnold gave the Reds a boost by returning from injury from the bench in their 2-2 draw at Everton six days ago, but in-form forward Cody Gakpo suffered an injury in the Merseyside derby.

Wolves arrive two points clear of the relegation zone and in good form after successive 2-0 wins, beating Aston Villa at home in the league and Blackburn Rovers away in the FA Cup fourth round.
