At least a point would take the Reds into 5th place above Manchester City although City would have two games in hand. A win would take them 4th if Tottenham fail to beat Fulham.
Liverpool won the reverse fixture at Anfield 31 days ago with Steven Gerrard and Yossi Benayoun scoring in a 2-0 victory after Wolves left back Stephen Ward had been sent off.
In that game Alberto Aquilani made his first league start while Dani Pacheco made his Premier League debut. It was a match that saw Steven Gerrard captain Liverpool for the 200th time in the league and Liverpool win their 400th Premiership point under Rafa Benitez.
The last meeting at Molineux came six years ago almost to the day when a last minute Kenny Miller equaliser gave Wolves a point after Bruno Cheyrou had opened the scoring for Liverpool.

No Liverpool player has ever scored a hat-trick against Wolves.
Back in 1976 Liverpool clinched the Championship on this ground. Both sides had to win - Liverpool for the title and Wolves to stay up.

Liverpool's biggest ever win at Molineux came in September 1968-the Reds winning 6-0.
The Reds heaviest defeat here was the 4-1 reverse they suffered in November 1980.
