Arne Slot’s rejuvenated Liverpool have every chance of finishing the 2025-26 season strongly while contending for silverware in the FA Cup and Champions League.
Liverpool have a fairly kind run of fixtures before they journey to Arsenal on Jan. 8, with a visit from Leeds United on New Year’s Day following the clash with Wolves. The Reds then travel to Fulham three days later, before their battle with the Gunners.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk admits Wolves pushed them all the way for Saturday's 2-1 win at Anfield. Two goals in two minutes from Ryan Gravenberch and Florian Wirtz had Liverpool 2-0 ahead at halftime before Santi Bueno struck just after the break.
Liverpool striker Alexander Isak appeared to suffer a serious injury during Saturday's match against Tottenham.
