Liverpool vice-captain James Milner opens up on facing Wolves this weekend
The Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend will mark the third time Liverpool face them this season. Apart from this, we have played them twice in the FA Cup. The Reds’ vice-captain James Milner had a word with the club’s official website about facing them this weekend.
In the two games against them this season, the Reds drew one at Anfield and won away at the Molineux. One thing is for certain, even the opposition would hope to get the better of the Reds this time around. Liverpool should be ready to face any challenge thrown at them.
To come out on top, Liverpool must have a combination of both high-quality play and strong determination and resilience, according to Milner. This means that they need to show not only skill on the field but also a strong will to win amid tough times.
Here is what he told the club’s official website on the prospect of facing Wolves:
“It’s down to us put in a good performance, a fighting performance,”
“Wolves will give us a tough test. We’ve experienced that pretty recently, it’s never an easy place to play. It’s a good atmosphere to play in and the fans get behind their team.”
“Hopefully we can play well and create lots of chances. But sometimes, when things aren’t going quite so well, the best performances are when you dig in, keep a clean sheet and get an ugly away win. That can give you so much.”
Liverpool need to win at Wolves
Liverpool have obviously been struggling with poor form, with several key players underperforming. The team has been unable to replicate the kind of dominant performances we saw last season. Currently sitting in the ninth spot on the Premier League charts, the Reds need to win almost everything from this point onwards.
Even though the chances of Milly starting the game are slim, he has been a crucial figure for Liverpool in recent years, and his experience will be invaluable to the team as they look to get back to winning ways.
In addition to Milner’s leadership, the team will also need to rely on their other key players to step up and deliver strong performances. Players such as Mohamed Salah, Alisson, and Trent Alexander-Arnold have the ability to make a real difference on the field. They will need to be at their best if Liverpool is to emerge victorious in the West Midlands.
