Liverpool look to rebound in the Premier League after dropping points to Everton in the Merseyside derby.

Arne Slot confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton are sidelined, but the biggest news is that Cody Gakpo could miss the game. "Cody is a bit of a doubt as well... I had to take him off because of an injury, because he got a knock, so let's see how he is today," Slot said on Valentine's Day.

Curtis Jones will miss the match after picking up a second yellow card in the moments after the final whistle against Everton. Slot and assistant Sipke Hulshoff also picked up red cards, but they should be in the dugout as a ruling hasn't been handed down yet.

Here's how Slot could setup his Liverpool side against Wolves.
