Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton are both backing Liverpool to finish 2025 with a win over Wolves, with the former insisting there\u2019s \u201cno hope\u201d for the Premier League\u2019s bottom side.<\/p>\n
The Reds close out the year back at Anfield on Saturday as Arne Slot\u2019s<\/a> side looks to extend its recent unbeaten run to seven games across all competitions. Liverpool has managed to find some form after a dismal couple of months which saw its hopes of defending its title effectively come to an end<\/a>.<\/p>\n It will now have its sights set on finishing in the top four and securing a place in next season\u2019s Champions League<\/a> – the Reds currently sit level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea with just over half the season still to go.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Liverpool given chance to bring back cult hero for free after Alexander Isak injury<\/a>READ MORE: Former Liverpool coach says he’s open to Anfield return – ‘Welcome to call me’<\/a><\/p>\n They will have to navigate their final game of the year with a depleted squad though, with Alexander Isak<\/a> the latest to have been ruled out. The striker faces a lengthy lay-off after breaking his leg during last weekend\u2019s game against Tottenham<\/a>.<\/p>\n Liverpool is also without Mohamed Salah<\/a>, who is away on Africa Cup of Nations duty, and the suspended Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a>, while Conor Bradley<\/a> and Cody Gakpo<\/a> are both doubts.<\/p>\n The Reds will still be favorites though against a Wolves side that has only managed to accumulate two points from its 17 games so far, and looks destined for relegation, with former Newcastle and England striker Shearer<\/a> only seeing Saturday\u2019s game going one way.<\/p>\n Get LFC’s 2025\/26 season home and away kits<\/p>\n This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

Liverpool got the points against Spurs even if it wasn’t a great performance. The injury to Isak will hurt them<\/a>, but they’ll have enough to beat Wolves.<\/p>\n \u201cWolves struggle to score goals and struggle to keep them out. There’s no hope for them; they’re already relegated as far as I’m concerned.<\/p>\n \u201cYou wouldn’t want to carry that tag around being the worst Premier League team ever. Somehow, they’ve got to get some belief to try and get out of that, but I don’t see it. They haven’t improved under the new manager, but I suspect that is because of the players they’ve sold and not replaced.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Content](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0_Liverpools-new-kit-at-the-re-opened-club-shop-at-AnfieldPic-Andrew-Teebay.jpg\")
