Liverpool
While Slot will not incur a possible suspension or fine just yet given that he has until next Wednesday to respond to his FA charge, Jones is definitely suspended on account of his post-match red card in the Goodison Park scuffles.
The midfielder could be one of four Liverpool absentees when Wolves pay a visit, as Tyler Morton (shoulder) and Joe Gomez (hamstring) are still sidelined, and Slot also revealed on Friday that Cody Gakpo is uncertain, having picked up a knock in the derby.
Should Gakpo not be risked for the showdown with Wolves, either Darwin Nunez or former Old Gold attacker Diogo Jota ought to spearhead the charge; the latter netted 44 times for Sunday's visitors but has since struck just once against his old team.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold; Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota
Wolves
As for visitors Wolves, their FA Cup triumph over Blackburn came at the cost of losing Hwang Hee-chan to a hamstring injury at half time, and the South Korea international is now expected to be absent for the next two to three games.
Fellow attacker Jorgen Strand Larsen only has a slim chance of coming back from a muscular problem in time too, so Matheus Cunha should act as the focal point with support from Goncalo Guedes and Pablo Sarabia at Anfield.
Whether Boubacar Traore is back from illness also remains to be seen, but long-term knee victims Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera and Leon Chiwome remain sidelined.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; Agbadou, Toti, Bueno; Semedo, Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Guedes; Cunha
Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers
