Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson insists tonight's clash with Wolves isn't about "revenge".

Henderson wrote in his match programme notes: "The points we dropped at Molineux a few weeks ago were lost on the day and can't ever be got back. Nor can we change the record books, which will always show a 3-0 win for Wolves.

What we can change, though, is our own performance because the last thing any of us would want is a repeat of a display which fell a long way short of the standards that we have set ourselves.

This isn't about revenge. I always think it's a mistake when the word 'revenge' is used in football. It is about us showing what we are about against an opponent which has shown what it is capable of.

I have nothing but respect for what Julen Lopetegui and his players did on that day and it is because of this respect that I know exactly how well we will have to perform if we want to get a better result this time around.

This has been a tough season for us, there is no getting away from that, but it is definitely worth repeating that it hasn't been for a lack of effort that results have not been as strong as in recent seasons.

Even when we lost at Wolves, I don't think anyone left the stadium thinking we could have worked any harder but they would have definitely believed we could have played better and rightly so."
