Liverpool's lack of match practice cost them dearly as they lost an eighth Premier League match of the season and bottom side Wolves picked up their first three-point haul since last March with a 1-0 win.
   Snowy weather had forced the postponements of games against Fulham and Blackpool, meaning the Reds had not played in the league for 18 days.
   That showed as they lacked invention and energy - even with the return of Steven Gerrard from six weeks out  but the visitors did have that spark and ended a run of six successive defeats away from home thanks to Stephen Ward's first Premier League goal.
