Wolves believe they can end Liverpool's unbeaten streak - Matt Doherty

Republic of Ireland defender Matt Doherty believes Wolves can bring an end to Liverpool's unbeaten Premier League run tonight. 

The leaders are yet to lose in their 22 top-flight games this season and have the chance to re-establish their 16-point advantage with victory at Molineux.

But Doherty says they'll be doing everything to try and pull off an upset:

“We’re at home so we’re going in to the game thinking we can win," he told Wolves official website.

“We’re in the position where we want to win the game for other reasons, for our league position, and the fact we’re at home and we just back ourselves – obviously we back ourselves against every team – but our record shows against the bigger teams that we tend to really fancy it on the night.

“I guess when we play teams in the mid-lower half of the table, they kind of sit in, and you have to put the pressure on them to get in behind them.

“The better top six to eight teams will not worry about you as much and play their own game which ends up leaving spaces in behind, which we are good at exploiting with our game plans and obviously we’re a very good counter attacking team.”

The Dubliner scored in Wolves' 3-2 win against Manchester City last month and he's keen to add more goals to his game:

“I enjoy scoring goals anywhere even if it’s in training, so which side doesn’t matter, as long as it goes in, but they are important, hence the reason we always shoot the one way in the first half, and up that way in the second.

“If you’re in the last ten minutes and you need something, they drive you forward. That’s important. I think we played Sheffield United at home and they swapped sides for the first half, the first five minutes I felt we were all over the place and it’s such a weird thing.

“You’re only changing the sides, but when you play that way for two or three years and you’re used to it, you’d rather keep it that way.”
