The opener scored 94 off 50 balls, the highest this season, to give Lahore Qalandars their third successive win

The Report by Danyal Rasool14-Mar-2018
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsLahore Qalandars continued their late resurgence in the PSL, notching up their third successive win after downing Quetta Gladiators by 17 runs. They had opener Fakhar Zaman to thank primarily for their two points. He put on a show of fabulous power-hitting to clout 94 off 50 balls – the highest individual score this season – and lead his side to 186.Lahore haven’t made any changes to their team since picking up their first win, and their openers Fakhar and Anton Devcich gave them a solid start again. However, when Devcich, Agha Salman and Brendon McCullum – the captain who was controversially given out off a no-ball – fell in quick succession, Fakhar held the innings together, brilliantly supported by a 27-ball 42 from wicketkeeper-batsman Gulraiz Sadaf. A cameo in the end from Sunil Narine (20*) ensured Lahore finished with a flourish.With Jason Roy back in the Quetta side, their top order boasted a frightening quartet of Roy, Shane Watson, Kevin Pietersen and Rilee Rossouw. While the England opener got Quetta off to a fast start – they raced to 52 for 0 in five overs – the wicket of Watson immediately set them back. And from thereon the Quetta chase began to unravel. Narine took care of both Pietersen and Roy, and as the asking rate climbed, Quetta found themselves out of the contest. Rossouw launched a counterattack, smashing five sixes in a 22-ball 42, but it only gave Lahore a late scare. Quicks Shaheen Afridi and Sohail Khan eventually wrapped up a comfortable win.Where the match was won
It may have taken till after Lahore were eliminated to begin working on their weaknesses, but they did illustrate the extent to which they have improved in the middle overs on Wednesday. After losing three quick wickets, Lahore’s run rate had dipped below seven, and after 11 overs they were stuttering at 76 for 3. But instead of capitulating, Fakhar and Gulraiz launched an astonishing onslaught, hitting 64 in the next four overs. It included an over of fearsome hitting from Fakhar that cost 24 runs, with Rahat Ali the hapless recipient. It was the phase of the game Sarfraz Ahmed might have deemed Lahore to be most vulnerable, but they turned that weakness into a comprehensive strength.The men that won it
While it is hard to look past Fakhar, one would be remiss to overlook vital contributions from Narine and Gulraiz. After all, Fakhar was dismissed with nearly five overs left in Lahore innings and the score only at 141, when the pair put on an unbroken 45-run stand in 28 balls.The brain freeze
A team led by McCullum on course to win three in a row is likely to be a happy unit. That was how Lahore had been appearing all tournament. Even when they had lost six on the bounce, they never looked like a dressing room falling out with each other. But towards the end of today’s contest, when both teams were almost going through the motions with the game virtually in the bag for Lahore, a bizarre scuffle erupted. Sohail Khan, who had been trying to get the attention of Yasir Shah on the boundary without success, inexplicably lost his temper and threw the ball on the full towards him. It very narrowly missed Yasir’s head, and the legspinner, to put it mildly, was incandescent. It took all of McCullum’s diplomatic powers to assuage the pair, but the lack of judgment from Sohail couldn’t help leaving one nonplussed. The pair reconciled at the end of the game, and Yasir even laughed it off. It would have been rather different, of course, if the ball had actually made contact with Yasir.Where they stand
Lahore drew level with Peshawar Zalmi, though they are still in last place on net run-rate. Quetta remained second, two points behind table-toppers Islamabad United.

Burnley and manager Vincent Kompany are reportedly looking to sign an in-demand free agent.

Who did Burnley sign this summer?

The Clarets once again had an extremely productive transfer window ahead of their Premier League return, bringing in a whopping 15 players. However, the club have struggled to make an immediate impact back in the top flight, losing all three of their fixtures to date.

All of Burnley’s Premier League encounters have been played at Turf Moor, with Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham all scoring three or more goals and taking home the points.

As a result, the Clarets sit bottom of the league, with fellow newly promoted side Luton Town also failing to pick up a point in any of their first three games.

With plenty of new players, time may well be required for Kompany to get the best out of his side, however, it looks as if those high up at Turf Moor are still looking at potential additions in the free-agent market.

Who wants to sign Jesse Lingard?

According to 90min, Jesse Lingard is a player who is in demand and has received offers from clubs in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United States of America.

He is currently training with West Ham, who are considering offering a short-term contract, although Burnley and Everton are also thought to be interested in the attacking midfielder. However, the report states that if Lingard is to stay in England, it would be with the Hammers.

Lingard, who has scored two goals against Burnley in the past, would offer plenty of Premier League experience at Turf Moor, making 182 appearances in the competition for the likes of Manchester United, West Ham and Nottingham Forest.

Capable of playing in a range of attacking positions, the Englishman was hailed as "top-class" by former Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and is 30 years of age, so you'd expect the player could have a number of years left at the top level.

It does look as if a move to West Ham could be on the cards, though, with David Moyes recently saying:

"He’s in really good condition – much better condition than he was when he first came in. I have to say, when Jesse joined us two years ago I think he scored nine goals in 15 games and was probably the difference between us getting into Europe for the first time. I want to give him every opportunity to get himself back in condition and see how he does."

However, should a move to the London Stadium fall through, Burnley could be in a position to make an offer, so his future could be one to keep an eye on.

There was so much positivity regarding Manchester United heading into the new season.

Erik ten Hag’s feet were now firmly under the desk having guided the Red Devils back into the Champions League and won a trophy in his first season.

This was, therefore, meant to be a campaign that extended on those good vibes, but seven games in and United are staring down the barrel of their worst start to a season in 34 years.

Ten Hag is searching for an answer, yet that aforementioned desk is no longer very organised.

It’s covered in coffee stains, filled with scrunched-up bits of paper and torn-up post-it notes. His best-laid plans and blueprints are out the window and his side resembles a sinking ship.

The Dutchman may well have navigated back-to-back wins over Burnley and then Crystal Palace in the cup in midweek, but their troublesome form prior to those wins reared its ugly head on Saturday afternoon.

A consecutive game with Palace was on the menu, but it did not taste so sweet this time. Rather, Ten Hag and his side were left with a bitter taste in the mouth following Joachim Andersen’s scorching effort that ensured the Eagles left the north west with a 1-0 victory.

The finger of blame could be pointed at many things. Defensive injuries haven’t helped, neither have off-field issues.

Marcus Rashford can’t seem to find his form of last term and Rasmus Hojlund, as energetic and exciting as he has been, is still adjusting to English football.

The former is one man they should be able to count on more often, but the fact of the matter is that United are being let down by their senior players. Case in point; Casemiro.

How is Casemiro playing this season?

Last term it looked as though the Red Devils could not cope when the Brazilian was missing from the side.

Indeed, as of April 2023, Ten Hag’s squad had lost four of the eight games Casemiro was absent from.

When he played, they had only lost three of 19 fixtures. The issue, therefore, was trying to find someone to fill his boots.

A calming influence who could also pack a punch in the middle of the park, United need their £350k-per-week man to rediscover the form that saw him named as the best holding midfielder in the world, according to Fifpro.

The former Real Madrid star stood out against Roy Hodgson’s side only a few days ago, scoring and laying on an assist.

In fact, Casemiro has been a fantastic asset offensively throughout the embryonic stages of 2023/24.

He bagged twice against Bayern Munich in Europe and even found the net against Nottingham Forest. Clearly, there is little to scrutiny when analysing how well the 31-year-old is playing when he gets forward.

However, the abilities that saw him celebrated as one of the best defensive midfielders on the planet are missing.

Last term, Casemiro prevailed in a whopping 81.4% of his duels. His regression this season has been remarkable, winning just 28.1%.

That speaks volumes of a player who simply isn’t offering United enough in the areas they really need.

One United content producer, Casey Evans, perhaps put it best, saying on social media: “It’s hilarious how Casemiro is our only goal threat but he’s also a massive liability doing what should actually be his job on the pitch.”

How did Casemiro play against Palace?

After starring against the Londoners in midweek, he truly let his manager down on this occasion, squandering possession and failing to break up the play adequately.

He was given a horrendous 4/10 player rating by the MEN’s Samuel Luckhurst, who reserved some particularly damning words:

‘Booked early on in the game and seemed to play within himself against a team he was sent off against last season. Played some inexplicable passes.’

That inexplicable and wasteful nature was best summed up by Casemiro’s 18 concessions of the ball.

For a player of his quality and stardom that is a remarkable number. For context, on average this season he is losing the ball 13.3 times per game.

Compare that with his peers across the top-flight and it makes for grim reading. Declan Rice has lost the ball just 6.3 times per match, Rodri 7.7 occasions and Yves Bissouma slightly higher at 11.9.

They have done the dirt work fantastically well this season and it will come as no surprise to see their sides leading the way in the Premier League this season.

When it comes to ball recovery, both Bissouma (6.7 per game) and Rodri (7.5) better Casemiro too, who makes six per match on average.

In that area, he still evidently thrives but in the main, his defensive play this season has left plenty to be desired. He may have made four successful tackles and won seven ground duels at Old Trafford this weekend but he also gave away four fouls.

You may well suggest with such a desire to contest in physical battles, the law of averages dictates you’ll give away plenty of fouls. Yet, last season, he only gave away 1.7 per match. Clearly, something is going wrong for Casemiro this season.

It may well be the overall chaos at the football club right now, but either way, Ten Hag needs his defensive midfielder to do more of what he’s really been signed for. After all, when on song as he was in 2022/23, United are a great deal harder to beat.

The BCCI and the PCB’s dispute over two unplayed bilateral series moved a step forward after the ICC constituted a three-person dispute panel four months after Pakistan decided to take the legal route in pursuit of its resolution. The hearings will take place in Dubai from October 1-3 and the decision of the panel will be final.”The International Cricket Council today confirmed that the Hon Michael Beloff QC will chair the Dispute Panel in the matter of proceedings between the Pakistan Cricket Board and the Board of Control for Cricket in India,” the ICC said in a statement. “The other two members of the panel, which has been established under the Terms of Reference of the ICC Disputes Resolution Committee, are Mr Jan Paulsson and Hon Dr Annabelle Bennett AO, SC. The hearing will take place in Dubai from 1-3 October and, as per Article 10.4 of the Terms of Reference of the ICC Disputes Resolution Committee, the decision of the Dispute Panel shall be non-appealable and shall remain the full and final decision in relation to the matter and binding on all parties.”The PCB claims up to $70million worth lost revenue from failure of the BCCI to play two series – in November 2014 and December 2015 – which were agreed by the boards in April 2014. Both series were officially slotted into the ICC’s Future Tour Programme (FTP) with Pakistan as host. However, amid a deteriorating political situation, the BCCI refused to honour that agreement.The PCB, saying they had no option left, sent a notice of dispute to the ICC. Under the watch of the ICC, both boards met on a number of occasions to try and reach a resolution in good faith, to no avail.In a final motion, a three-person dispute panel headed by Beloff with Paulsson (Pakistan representation) and Bennett (Indian representation) will have a three-day hearing at the ICC headquarters in Dubai. Beloff, incidentally, was head of the ICC tribunal which banned Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif for spot-fixing in 2011. The proceedings are likely to be conducted in private.”Unless the parties agree to settle their dispute in the meantime, the Dispute Panel shall decide the outcome of the case following deliberation in private,” read the terms of reference. “They shall endeavour to reach a unanimous decision, but a majority decision shall suffice. No member of the Dispute Panel may abstain from voting on the outcome of any dispute, but any member may record a dissenting opinion which may be attached to the majority decision with the permission of the Chairperson of the Dispute Panel. “The bone of contention is the original agreement between the two sides in 2014, which is expected to be a central pillar in the PCB’s arguments. It had agreed on both sides playing six series between December 2015 and November-December 2022, and also an effort to play a short limited-overs series in Pakistan (or a neutral venue) in November 2014. But amid tense relations between the two governments, any chance of a resumption in bilateral ties had always looked distant. And that has been the BCCI’s core claim all along – that it does not have government permission to play Pakistan.India and Pakistan have not played a full series since the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai, which India blamed on militants based in Pakistan. Pakistan visited India for a short limited-overs series in December 2012, but that did not do enough to thaw the frosty relationship.

Wolverhampton Wanderers would have feared a relegation battle in the Premier League this campaign and those fears are coming to fruition having recorded four losses from their first six matches.

The latest of those poor results came at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon as the Old Gold stumbled to a 1-1 draw against Luton Town, although after spending the whole second half with ten men, Gary O'Neil would have seen that result as one point gained rather than two dropped.

On Tuesday evening, the Old Gold can put their disastrous league form to the side and focus on their trip to take on Championship high-flyers Ipswich Town in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

The Tractor Boys have announced their return to the second tier in exceptional style, winning seven of their opening eight matches with their only defeat coming against Leeds United.

A distraction this competition may be – but it isn't any easy one at that for Wolves – and they'll have to be on the ball against a side brimming with confidence who will sense an upset could be in the offing.

What is the latest Wolves team news?

With the chance to utilise the full depth of his squad, O'Neil is expected to make several changes against Ipswich but at least one of those will be enforced.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Wolves' outstanding performer from their 3-1 defeat against Liverpool, followed that terrific display up with a shocking one against Luton as the midfielder was sent off for making an inexcusable challenge on defender Tom Lockyer.

On a much brighter note, midfielder Joe Hodge, who caught the eye in their 5-0 thrashing of Blackpool in the previous round, is working his way back from a muscular problem – which he sustained in the last round – and has a slim chance of returning for this tie.

Elsewhere, Matt Doherty, Boubacar Traore, Toti Gomes, Fabio Silva and Sasa Kalajdzic should all get their chances to impress O'Neil from the off, as could on-loan Manchester City midfielder Tommy Doyle, who has featured twice off the bench in the Premier League so far.

Should Tommy Doyle start vs Ipswich?

After joining on loan with an option to buy for £4.3m, Doyle's opportunities in the Wolves team have been limited thus far, however, with a suspension to Bellegarde and Mario Lemina likely to be rested, the Englishman could get his chance to shine.

The 21-year-old starred in the Sheffield United side that was promoted to the Premier League last season, scoring four goals and registering seven assists, as he impressed at Bramall Lane in a Paul Heckingbottom system that allowed his technical attributes to flourish, operating in a dynamic midfield three with James McAtee and Sander Berge.

Possessing the technique and superb passing range to dictate the tempo of matches – as taught at Man City – the midfield metronome looked a cut above at Championship level when compared to his positional peers, ranking in the top 5% for expected assists, top 12% for shot creating actions, top 13% for passes into the final third and top 15% for progressive passes, as per FBref.

At times this campaign, Wolves have struggled in the absence of the technically astute Ruben Neves and although Doyle is unable to replicate the impact of the Portuguese, he can offer O'Neil a calmness on the ball in midfield and that could be key tonight with Ipswich likely to start fast out of the blocks.

The 5 foot 8 "set-piece specialist" – as lauded by England under-21 teammate Charlie Cresswell – can provide Wolves with quality from dead-ball situations too, which is also something they've missed in the absence of Neves.

Doyle was one of the stand-out players in the Championship last term and earned his move to a Premier League side on the back of his consistent displays. Now, the stage is set for him to show O'Neil what he can offer the Old Gold in future matches.

When even Hashim Amla is in a hurry then no wonder low scores predominate around the country

George Dobell05-May-20181:32

Harry’s Game for Yorkshire and Sussex

ScorecardImpatience is a virtue in the modern world.Where once we were content to wait for letters, for food, for success, it seems we now want everything yesterday. The next generation of aeroplanes will not have windows (except, you presume, at the front) as their absence will increase speeds by around 10%. There’s no time to look around anymore.This attitude appears to extend to cricket. Where once batsmen might be prepared to look around a bit, to allow the bowlers an hour or a session, to build an innings rather than attempt to get rich quick, it now seems the response to every challenge is to try to hit the ball harder and further. Lost early wickets? Counter-attack. Bowlers on top? Hit them off their length. Pitch proving tricky? Thump those runs before the wicket-taking ball claims you. Eat, drink and be merry, for next over one may skid on and take you on the pad.Right around the country we are seeing low scores. It is true that conditions at this time of year are demanding for batsmen. But they’re no more difficult than they were in the days of uncovered pitches. Or when the world’s best bowlers – the likes of Imran Khan and Joel Garner and Malcolm Marshall and Richard Hadlee – were on the county circuit every week. It’s just that some of cricket’s old virtues, notably patience and application, have become less fashionable. It’s not a coincidence that England’s Test batsmen rarely make centuries. It is a reflection, in part, of the modern way of thinking.Certainly it seemed that way at Trent Bridge. Even Hashim Amla, a man so patient it he once made England bowl to him through a summer (or so it felt in 2012, anyway), succumbed. Having seen off Nottinghamshire’s excellent seam attack in typically masterful fashion, he gifted to a simple catch to mid-off after attempting to loft a delivery from Samit Patel over the top.It was a surprising and pivotal moment. While Rilee Rossouw had fallen pushing hard at a good one on off stump that may have left him a fraction, Amla had let the ball come to him and been content to nudge and deflect his way to a typically unfussy half-century. With Liam Dawson having already flicked to square leg, Hampshire needed Amla to take root. And, once he had gone, Kyle Abbott departed in similar fashion – he chipped to midwicket – Chris Wood played across a straight one and Hampshire conceded a first-innings lead of 79.Hashim Amla acknowledges his half-century•Getty ImagesTo be fair to Amla, there was some logic in his approach. With runs proving hard to come by against the seamers (Luke Fletcher conceded under two an over; Stuart Broad only a little over) and Patel having settled into a frugal spell (he barely conceded one an over in his first 10), Amla hoped to disrupt the spinner’s rhythm and perhaps force mid-off back to the boundary and open up an opportunity for easier singles. It would be unfair to praise the intent when it works and criticise it when it fails.Equally, it is unfair on Nottinghamshire to underplay their role in Amla’s dismissal. To test the patience of a man renown for the quality underlines the quality and control of their bowling. By providing so few release deliveries, they applied pressure on Hampshire’s batting and by trusting Patel, a modest spinner of the ball but an increasingly patient, disciplined bowler, they dangled the bait.But there is another way. Or at least there used to be another way. And, for all the entertainment value offered by modern cricket – and the game has surely never moved so fast – it does appear that batsmen are losing the mentality where they are prepared to graft. Where they are prepared to concentrate on nothing but survival. Where they are prepared to dare to be dull. And, while red ball cricket is played, there will still be a place for such virtues.Lewis McManus ensured the deficit was at least reduced for Hampshire. Shrugging off two blows to the helmet – both inflicted during a spell of impressively sustained short bowling by Broad – McManus recorded a plucky half-century.Stuart Mullaney and Jake Libby consolidated Nottinghamshire’s advantage in the final session. Already the pair have recorded their side’s only century partnership of the season so far; already Mullaney has the highest individual score. Mullaney, in particular, elected for a positive approach, but Hampshire might reflect they made life a bit too easy by failing to match the discipline and control of their Nottinghamshire counterparts.It was a particularly important innings for Libby. A tricky start to the season has left him under just a little bit of pressure, but he took advantage of easing conditions and a few loose deliveries to record his first half-century of the campaign. And, while the pitch is slow, there is still enough nibble and enough uneven bounce to suggest Hampshire are likely to face a desperately tough proposition in the fourth innings. How they respond to such a challenge may prove intriguing.

Manchester United have set their sights on signing another new forward alongside Brighton and Hove Albion's Evan Ferguson, as a reliable journalist dropped an update on the club's transfer plans this week .

What's the latest transfer news at Man United?

Over the summer, Erik ten Hag was busy in the market, bringing in seven fresh faces in the form of Mason Mount, Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund, Jonny Evans and Altay Bayindir all on a permanent basis, whilst securing loan moves for Sofyan Amrabat and Sergio Reguilon.

There were also plenty of outgoings, with the hierarchy sanctioning the sales of some big names like Fred, Dean Henderson, Eric Bailly and Anthony Elanga, though having this space in the squad means that the boss has room to bolster his ranks further in January.

One of the players that he could turn his attention to is Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who has caught the eye for Rudi Garcia’s side since joining last summer from Dinamo Batumi, where he’s so far made a total of 45 appearances to date.

The Premier League giants were credited with an interest in the left-winger during the previous transfer window, alongside Manchester City and Newcastle United, and despite a deal failing to come to fruition, the 22-year-old could be on his way to Old Trafford in 2024.

Are Man United signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia?

According to The Daily Mail's Mike Keegan during a live Q&A, Man United could look at Kvaratskhelia as a possible attacking reinforcement alongside Ferguson – who the board are also keeping close tabs on – despite Ten Hag's options currently being more limited out on the right wing. He said:

"He plays on the other side but it wouldn’t surprise me if Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was in the Premier League next season. I know he’s had admirers here, including United, but I can’t imagine he would come cheap and a switch during the season may be unlikely. As for January, a loan move may be the answer to get them through until the end of the campaign."

How many goals has Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored?

Since putting pen to paper at Napoli, Kvaratskhelia has posted an impressive 32 contributions (18 assists and 14 goals) in 45 appearances, form which has seen him dubbed a “legend” by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, so should he put pen to paper at Man United in the new year, it would be a huge coup.

The Georgia international, who pockets just £25k-per-week, is also currently averaging 9.47 shot-creating actions per league game which is more than any of his fellow teammates, via FBRef, highlighting the constant threat he poses to an opposition's defence when it comes to the action in the final third.

Sponsored by Nike, the both-footed Serie A winner has also received plenty of individual recognition over the course of his career, receiving his country's Footballer of the Year award on four occasions whilst being named the Champions League’s Best Young Player in 2023, so he would be able to pass his winning mentality onto the current squad who are already in M16.

As the international break draws to a close, the return of Premier League football is upon us.

In their last outing, Wolverhampton Wanderers suffered defeat in South London at the hands of Crystal Palace. Frenchman Odsonne Edouard scored a decisive brace in a thrilling 3-2 victory for the Eagles in front of the Selhurst Park faithful.

Liverpool meanwhile made light work of a very capable Aston Villa side. An early and equally thunderous strike from Dominik Szoboszlai coupled with a Matty Cash own goal got the Reds off to a strong start against Unai Emery’s men at Anfield.

Since that Liverpool victory, the Saudi Pro League’s transfer window has closed and Jurgen Klopp will be delighted that they were able to batten down the hatches and retain the services of Mohamed Salah, the man who scored the third against Villa.

Next up, Wolves will cross paths with Liverpool as the pair go to battle on Saturday 16th of September at 12:30 at Molineux. We at Football FanCast have taken a look at the history of this fixture so that you don’t have to!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool: Who has the better head-to-head record?

Wolverhampton Wanderers are a club with a lot of history but it still isn’t all that surprising that Liverpool have had the edge more often than not in this fixture. The pair met four times in as many months last season, which will be unpacked later, meaning they certainly aren’t strangers to each other.

Wolverhampton Wanderers wins 37 Draws 18 Liverpool wins 59 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool: Who has more wins at Molineux?

In spite of Liverpool’s positive record in this fixture, Wolves have got the better of the Reds when playing on home soil at Molineux.

Wolves were founded in 1877 and besides a brief spell at Dudley Road in the early days, they have always called Molineux home. It is an iconic ground and the first of its kind in many ways. Molineux was the first built for use by a Football League club, the first to install floodlights and it played host to several of the early European games.

Wolverhampton Wanderers wins 27 Draws 10 Liverpool wins 22 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool: Who has more wins at Anfield?

Home form continues to prevail which is to be expected when Anfield is the ground in question. At its very best, there is nothing quite like Anfield and the fortress has played a part in this fixture too.

Liverpool came into existence in 1892 and have always played at Anfield, but a fascinating fact is that Everton called home for a few years prior to their arch-rivals’ creation.

Wolverhampton Wanderers wins 10 Draws 08 Liverpool wins 37 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool: Who has the better cup record?

7 of the 10 cup meetings between these two have taken place at Molineux and so the trend continues once again, in favour of Wolverhampton Wanderers. The only ever League Cup clash went the way of Wolves in the 1973/1974 season, this being a 1-0 win in the quarter-finals and they went on to win it all that year.

Wolverhampton Wanderers wins 06 Draws 01 Liverpool wins 03 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool: How have the last 5 meetings played out?

As previously mentioned, these two sides played each other four times last season and so would have been sick of the sight of each other eventually. As a result, four of the five latest meetings are very recent and up to date.

1st March 2023- Liverpool 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers:

Going back to March and this Premier League fixture was actually supposed to be earlier in the season but it was postponed. Liverpool left it late in front of their home crowd, quickfire goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah making the difference.

4th February 2023- Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 Liverpool:

Just a month or so earlier, with neither side having covered themselves in glory up to this point, Wolves pulled off something of a shock result.

A Joel Matip own goal set the tone early on and Craig Dawson quickly made things go from bad to worse for Klopp’s men. Liverpool tried to work their way back into the game only for Ruben Neves to take Wolves out of sight of the visitors in the 71st minute.

17th January 2023- Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Liverpool:

An FA Cup tie that required a replay is the reason for the fixture congestion of this duo in the early of months of 2023.

Harvey Elliot scored the only goal of the game at Molineux and booked Liverpool’s place in the fourth round as a result. That was then the end of the road for the Reds as well though, losing to eventual semi-finalists Brighton and Hove Albion thanks to a Karou Mitoma strike at the death at the Amex.

22nd May 2022- Liverpool 3-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers:

This fixture had a lot riding on it for hosts Liverpool, despite it being the final day of the season. Wolves were nowhere near the relegation zone and instead had their sights set on the top half whilst Liverpool had the title on the line.

Manchester City made a meal of it but were able to get the three points and secure another Premier League trophy, meaning that Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Wolves at Anfield was all in vain.

Who has played for both Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool?

Paul Ince (Liverpool 1997-1999; Wolverhampton Wanderers 2002-2006)

Reading Paul Ince’s achievements with Manchester United and then Liverpool are like night and day. He won two Premier Leagues, two FA Cups and a European Cup Winner’s Cup during his time at the Old Trafford and then ended his two-year stint at Anfield with nothing to show for it.

Fast forward a few years and Ince played for Wolverhampton Wanderers, helping them to get promoted via the playoffs and into the Premier League. He was in his late 30s when he left Wolves and so was clearly winding down in his career.

Conor Coady (Liverpool 2011-2014; Wolverhampton Wanderers 2015-2023)

Longtime captain Wolverhampton Wanderers Conor Coady has previously admitted to being a Liverpool fan and he actually graduated from their academy.

Coady only made one Premier League appearance for them though and so moved on to Huddersfield Town. After just one year with the Terriers he then joined Wolves and having amassed nearly 300 league appearances for them, including of course playing a key role in the side that won the Championship under Nuno Espirito Santo, the rest as they say, is history. The 30-year-old is now back playing in the second-tier with Leicester City.

Diogo Jota (Wolverhampton Wanderers 2017-2020; Liverpool 2020-current)

One current Liverpool player arrived via Wolves in the form of Diogo Jota. He announced himself to English fans in the black and gold and his success was noticed by Klopp and co as they then snapped him up in 2020.

Since then, he has been a very capable forward for Liverpool although an injury here or there hasn’t helped in terms of playing regular football.
