History of the Liverpool v Wolverhampton Wanderers fixture

Liverpool play host to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having chalked up an impressive 29 wins out of 44 previous matches.

The last time the two teams met at Liverpool was amazingly over twenty years ago, in January 1984, with Wolves inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Reds in a First Division match.
