Slot will struggle to play down title credentials if form continues
- Published
Boss Arne Slot insisted this week Liverpool are yet to prove themselves as title contenders.
The solitary defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield stands out and shows the Reds are not perfect.
But they have recovered with three straight wins, including a comeback victory at AC Milan in the Champions League and Wednesday's 5-1 thumping of West Ham in the Carabao Cup.
That defeat to Forest will be one of the reasons for Slot's cautiousness in talking up any title hopes.
This is despite the 46-year-old making one of the best starts to a reign in Liverpool history while a fifth clean sheet would earn a club record of conceding once in their opening six league games.
Victory at Wolves will be expected - especially if the hosts are weakened by the virus which has been in their camp this week - and if the Reds continue their form Slot will have a hard time denying their title credentials.
