Wolves fans are hoping for another major upset against Liverpool, much like their 3-0 victory in February 2023 under Julen Lopetegui, which was one of the finest moments of his tenure. Historically, Wolves have had mixed results against Liverpool. Prior to that 2023 win, they had gone 10 home league matches without beating the Reds, only managing three draws and scoring once in seven of those games.
However, Wolves’ success against Liverpool goes back further, particularly in the 1980s. Between 1979 and 1982, Wolves won three consecutive home games against a dominant Liverpool side that was winning league titles and European cups. One memorable moment came in 1980, when John Richards’ goal secured a 1-0 win over Liverpool. This victory was followed by the filming of the “This is Your Life” episode for Emlyn Hughes, a former Liverpool legend who had captained Wolves to a League Cup victory earlier that year.
That era highlighted Wolves’ ability to rise to the occasion against strong teams like Liverpool and Manchester City. Despite their struggles in some seasons, Wolves’ resilience at Molineux has produced some unforgettable performances against top-tier opposition. Wolves fans will be hoping for a similar outcome in their upcoming clash with Liverpool.
