Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha has made a bold pre-match statement, issuing a strong warning to Liverpool ahead of their Premier League showdown at Anfield. His fiery remarks have added extra intensity to the buildup, as he confidently declared:
“Remember my words—we’re beating Liverpool at Anfield today. Just wait and see. This isn’t the invincible Liverpool of the past; their consistency is fading, and fatigue is catching up with them. Their performances are slipping, and we’re ready to take full advantage. The ONLY Liverpool player I ever feared isn’t even in the starting XI. Liverpool fans should forget about winning—I’m coming to inflict damage where it hurts most: on the scoreboard.”
Cunha’s defiant comments reflect a growing belief among Premier League teams that Liverpool’s once-unbreakable dominance at Anfield is diminishing. This perception has been fueled by recent results, including a dramatic draw against Everton, where James Tarkowski’s 98th-minute equalizer halted Liverpool’s momentum. Last month, the Reds’ remarkable 24-game unbeaten streak was snapped, exposing vulnerabilities that opponents are eager to exploit.
Despite struggling with injuries this season, Wolves, led by manager Vítor Pereira, approach this fixture with confidence. Cunha, returning from suspension following a post-match incident against Ipswich Town, is especially motivated to make a major impact.
Meanwhile, Liverpool, under Arne Slot, hold a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League table but have shown signs of fatigue amid a packed schedule. With tough away games against Aston Villa and Manchester City on the horizon, Slot is expected to rotate his squad to manage player fitness.
Cunha’s mention of an absent Liverpool player he once feared suggests Wolves see an opportunity to capitalize on any defensive frailties in the lineup. Anfield has long been a fortress for Liverpool, but recent results have given visiting teams renewed belief. Everton’s pre-match confidence before their recent draw at Anfield mirrors the mindset Wolves now carry into this encounter.
With kickoff approaching, Liverpool fans are growing concerned about the team’s inconsistent form and the increasing confidence of visiting opponents. Cunha’s provocative words have only added to the tension, setting up a high-stakes clash.
A victory for Wolves would be a massive statement and boost their league position, while Liverpool will be determined to silence the doubters and reinforce Anfield’s reputation as a fortress. As anticipation builds, all eyes will be on Anfield to see whether Cunha and Wolves can turn their bold words into reality—or if Liverpool will prove them wrong.
