Liverpool XI vs Wolves: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today

Goal drought: Mohamed Salah has not scored in his last 10 Premier League matches for Liverpool - (London Standard)

Jeremie Frimpong starts for Liverpool against Wolves in the Premier League tonight, though Florian Wirtz remains sidelined.

Liverpool lost Wirtz in the warm-up ahead of their recent 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest due to a back injury.

The German has now been ruled out for another two games by Arne Slot, who hopes to have him back for matches next week against Galatasaray and Tottenham.

At the City Ground, Wirtz was replaced in midfield by Curtis Jones, and in the 5-2 victory over West Ham, Joe Gomez came into the side at right-back, allowing Dominik Szoboszlai to slot in in the No10 position behind Hugo Ekitike.

Liverpool’s four long-term absentees remain sidelined for this midweek fixture, with Alexander Isak the only one that could feasibly return to action before the campaign’s conclusion.

That means that Slot’s team selection against Wolves was relatively easy to predict, with right-back the only position that was tricky to call.

Gomez’s return allowed Szoboszlai to play in his natural midfield role, while Frimpong returned from injury off the bench against West Ham and starts tonight.

Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk continue in the heart of defence, while Milos Kerkez has made the left-back position his own once more ahead of Andy Robertson.

Alexis Mac Allister partners Ryan Gravenberch in the double pivot with Szoboszlai ahead of them, and Cody Gakpo plays off the left after breaking his scoring drought last time out. Mohamed Salah and Ekitike complete the front three.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Ekitike

Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Chiesa, Jones, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Morrison, Ngumoha

Injured: Wirtz, Isak, Endo, Bradley, Leoni

Time and date: 8.15pm GMT on Tuesday March 3, 2026
