Can Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister Break the Record and Lead the Team to the Top 4?
Liverpool has a golden opportunity to temporarily secure a spot in the Premier League's top four with a victory at Wolves. But it's not just about the win; it's about the potential record-breaking feat that Alexis Mac Allister could achieve.
Mac Allister has been on a scoring streak, finding the back of the net in his last two appearances. If he scores again, he'll set a new record for consecutive goals in Liverpool matches. However, no Liverpool player has ever scored a hat-trick against Wolves, and the last player to score twice was Sadio Mane in the 2018/19 season.
Wolves, on the other hand, are struggling. They currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League table with 13 points, having only won two games and drawing seven. They've avoided the lowest points tally in a Premier League season, which was held by Derby County with 11 points in the 2007/08 season.
Wolves have scored the fewest goals in the league this season (20), and they've conceded the most goals (51) among the bottom three teams. This season, they've only scored more than twice in one top-flight game, against West Ham.
As for Liverpool's goalscoring record, Ekitike leads with 16 goals, followed by Szoboszlai (10), Gakpo (8), Salah (7), Wirtz (6), Mac Allister (5), Van Dijk (5), Gravenberch (4), Chiesa (3), Isak (3), Frimpong (2), Konate (2), Jones (1), Kerkez (1), Ngumoha (1), Robertson (1), and three own goals.
The question remains: Can Liverpool achieve these never-before feats? Will Mac Allister break the record and lead the team to the top four? The answer lies in the upcoming match against Wolves.
