History of the Wolverhampton Wanderers v Liverpool fixture

Liverpool travel to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Reds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Wolves was amazingly over twenty years ago, in August 1983, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a First Division match.
