And breathe. Liverpool see out the win, and their lead at the top of the league is back to seven points. Slot and his players look relieved out there.
6 minutes of added time here, can Wolves get that equaliser?
What a goal can do eh? Liverpool all of a sudden can’t string three passes together and Wolves can smell an opportunity here
Well from nothing, Wolves are in this game. It’s a special finish from their best player, Matheus Cunha. Game on!
Changes for Liverpool, Bradley and Nunez for Alexander-Arnold and Jota.
Jota initially fell in the box after an Agbadou challenge. Penalty was given but it was overturned as it was a dive.
Less than a minute after the Munetsi miss, Salah goes up the other end and scores but it is judged to be offside. It remains 2-0 Liverpool
Wolves debutant Marshall Munetsi is played clean through on goal but fails to beat Alisson 1-on-1.
Good decision from Slot to take off the French centre-back. Seemed a disaster waiting to happen
Half-time changes: Liverpool change Quansah for Konate, Wolves Bellegarde for Sarabia.
Jamie Redknapp thinks it wasn’t a penalty due to a foul on Semedo whilst Jermain Defoe thinks it was a fair penalty. Think this one will cause debate for a while
Only a trio of players are ahead of Mohamed Salah when it comes to scoring Premier League penalties.
He's got a while before he overtakes you @alanshearer, don't worry 😅#BBCFootball #LIVWOL pic.twitter.com/u6uPscxLQd

Liverpool have scored 2+ goals in 17 successive matches at Anfield in all competitions – their joint-longest run of scoring 2+ at home since joining the Football League in 1893. https://t.co/loaYO9ypuK

Half time and it’s 2-0 Liverpool. Comfortable yet controversial sums up the half. Liverpool certainly deserve to be winning and are doing so, but has the referee got the key decisions correct?
We’ll let social media debate that….
Wolves may feel themselves unlucky. Did Diaz barge Semedo out of the way before winning the penalty? And should Konate still be on the pitch?
Let’s see what Pereira says after the game….
Salah scores the penalty and Liverpool lead 2-0. Mo Salah dispatches in style, straight down the middle of the goal.
Liverpool have a penalty. Luis Diaz wins it after being brought down by Jose Sa
Over half an hour gone and what started as a positive outlook from Wolves has fallen away very quickly.
They seem unable to attack as a group and Liverpool look very comfortable at the moment.
The Wolves boss has just been cautioned on the bench. Slot watches on with a guilty look on his face……
He’s no stranger to a telling off from officials.
Luis Diaz had gone 10 appearances without a goal. First time he's scored since West Ham away in December.

Many teams come to Anfield and shy away, or go into a low-block. Not Wolves. They are having a right go at this.
Arne Slot will be glad his side have the lead. Should allow them to ease into the game.
Goal for Liverpool and a goal for Luis Diaz! Won’t go down as one of his best I’m sure.
Very messily bundled into the back of the net after a comedy of errors from a Wolves perspective. But Liverpool won’t care, they lead 1-0.
It’s been a back and forth start to this one. Liverpool are controlling possession and aiming for a measured approach.
But Wolves have caught them and countered quickly on a couple of occasions already.
Ryan Gravenberch gets us underway at Anfield!
250 – Trent Alexander-Arnold is making his 250th Premier League appearance today; aged 26 years and 132 days, he is the youngest player to reach that figure for Liverpool in the competition, surpassing Steven Gerrard's record in December 2006 (26y 200d). Icon. pic.twitter.com/NO5gcPkHFM
