A well-known journalist analyzed Liverpool's path in their bid for a UEFA Champions League spot, predicting they would go unbeaten in the last 10 matches but would falter right from the first game.
On Wednesday, 4 March 2026 GMT+7, after the 29th round of the English Premier League, Wolverhampton Wanderers hosted and defeated Liverpool 2-1, intensifying Liverpool's race for a Champions League place. Before this game, James Pearce, a Liverpool correspondent for The Athletic, predicted Liverpool's final 10 matches but got the first match wrong.
Pearce spoke about the last 10 matches, stating that in the first game against Wolverhampton, Liverpool would win easily since Wolverhampton was at the bottom of the table and nearly facing relegation. However, their last meeting was not so straightforward, as the first encounter ended in a 1-1 draw.
For the remaining nine matches, Liverpool faces a crucial derby away at Manchester United. Pearce stated Liverpool would not lose to United, while in the next home game against Spurs, he analyzed that Liverpool would secure a victory.
