Two of the top seven meet on Sunday as second placed Liverpool welcome Wolves to Anfield.
Liverpool conceded a late equaliser in their 1-1 draw with Brighton, as they were frustrated by a Pascal Gross penalty.
They did progress in the Champions League though, with Curtis Jones’ winner enough to see them beat Ajax.
Wolves’ 2-1 win over Arsenal was overshadowed by a horrific injury to striker Raul Jimenez, with the forward fracturing his skull in a collision with David Luiz.
Goals from Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence secured a famous win for Wolves at the Emirates.
