(The Guardian) Preamble-- Is this the night? Could it be? Are we going to be asking this question every five or six days until May? -- Probably not; probably not; probably. But you’d sense this might be one of Liverpool’s closer calls on their inexorable march to Premier League domination and that Wolves, flagging a touch but still outstanding when at full tilt, have it in them to give them an almighty run for their money. And, hell with it, even knock off their “invincible” crown! -- Liverpool edged past Nuno Espirito Santo’s team at Anfield a mere four weeks ago thanks to Sadio Mane’s goal. They’d take an identical outcome tonight; it’d be a huge hurdle cleared and I would say that, of their remaining fixtures, Man City (a) on 4 April is the only tougher gig than this. -- A win for Wolves would put them three points off the Champions League spots; a draw would still lift them to fifth. Make no mistake, this is a heavyweight clash.

Clinton Morrison, Former Crystal Palace striker at Molineux on BBC Radio 5 Live: Wolves have got a chance. Most Liverpool fans, I think this is the game they were worrying about in January - not Manchester United. If Wolves get the crowd going, they've got a great chance. But it's so hard to score against Liverpool.
I can't call it. I'm looking forward to the game so much.

(BBC Sport) Nice to see young Curtis Jones and Neco Williams on the Liverpool bench again. Very impressive in that FA Cup win over Everton. Wolves' 21-year-old striker Benny Ashley-Seal also makes the bench for the sixth time in the Premier League this season.
Liverpool may be steamrolling to the title but Wolves just keep chipping away and are fighting for a spot among European royalty. They came from 2-0 down to beat an in-form Southampton team in their last match - largely thanks to two goals from Raul Jimenez. Pedro Neto was brilliant again and Adama Traore was once again involved in the goals. Wolves love a good comeback story too - they have scored 68% of their goals after half-time, since the start of last season, the highest proportion of any current top-flight side. So even if Liverpool take the lead early, they need to remain switched on!

(The Guardian) “Thoughts and prayers with Wolves tonight: ‘In nomine Patris et Filii et Nuno Espirito Santo (Amen)‘”, intones D Cameron. Any more invocations, musings, jokes, score predictions, tell-alls ... send them my way!

(The Guardian) Willy Boly, who has been out since October, and Diogo Jota (just the three weeks out) are back on the bench for Wolves tonight. They’re amassing some decent depth. Good to see those two on the scene again, they’d usually be nailed-on starters for Nuno.

(The Guardian) Graeme Thorn has a correction with a caveat: “Rather than mixing Latin with Portugese, D. Cameron should have written: ‘Em nome do Pai, do Filho e do Nuno Espírito Santo’, though I had to trust Google Translate for that.” It’s been too long a day for this.

(The Guardian) Gary Byrne ponders: “Will Nuno Espírito Santo seek to be a Portuguese man o’ war tonight, or turn to jelly against the might of Liverpool?” That is much closer to the level I’m at tonight.

Phil McNulty, BBC Sport chief football writer at Molineux: Wolves and Liverpool are warming up at a freezing Molineux with a hint of mist starting to shroud the stadium.
Plenty of people in and around this famous old stadium think has the potential to be huge test for the runaway Premier League leaders. This is a Wolves side that troubles the best and Liverpool are currently the best.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to BT Sport: "Manchester United feels like ages ago.
"So much has happened in between! Here we are against probably, performance-wise they were really good. The last game was difficult but we won it. We know we have to put a proper shift in.
"We have a plan but you you'll to watch the game to see it - It’s more complex! It shouldn’t be too complicated. They have their own plan in possession, it’s just different, a lot of diagonal balls. Also Adama Traore, in one-on-one situations, is really good, so we respect that.
"We play systems like them so we know what to do and we have to adapt and that's what we always do."
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to BT Sport: "When you perform well you go from zero to getting a result, it gives you confidence.
"Don't concede early! We have to play. It's a fantastic team. The idea is what we have been building since the beginning when we were in the Championship - develop and keep going.
"For sure, Molineux will be behind us."

(The Guardian) “There’s always one huge question to be asked when Wolves play. Not formation or strategy per se but is Robert Plant in the building?” asks Jason Graff. Excellent question. I certainly saw he was at one of their games pre-Christmas.
