As Liverpool head into their final game of the Premier League season and the final game of Jurgen Klopp's illustrious tenure as manager, it's time to look at the opposition as Wolves visit Anfield on Sunday.
Whilst the Reds are going to end the season in third, Wolves do still have the opportunity to finish in the top half should other results go their way, so there is plenty of reason for them to give it everything on Merseyside this weekend.

In goal, José Sá will probably continue as the first-choice keeper, providing a reliable last line of defence.
The back four is expected to consist of Nelson Semedo, Craig Dawson, Max Kilman, and Rayan Aït-Nouri. This defensive lineup has been solid in recent matches, and they will need to be at their best to contain Liverpool's potent attacking threat.
In midfield, potential Reds transfer target João Gomes and Mario Lemina are expected to start, offering both defensive stability and the ability to transition play effectively. Further forward, Matheus Cunha is likely to play a pivotal role, linking the midfield with the attack. On the wings, Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence are expected to provide pace and creativity, aiming to exploit any gaps in Liverpool's defence.
Leading the line, Hwang Hee-chan is expected to spearhead the attack. His recent form has been impressive, and he will be key to Wolves' chances of scoring against a resilient Liverpool defence.
Wolves have had their fair share of injury concerns this season, but they seem to be heading into this clash with a relatively healthy squad. Pedro Neto, who has been in sensational form, is expected to recover in time to feature.
There are no other major injury concerns, giving manager Julen Lopetegui a virtually full-strength squad to choose from.
