Raul Jimenez has admitted that he does have a horse in this weekend’s Premier League title race.
The Mexican forward, who has bagged 13 PL goals in his remarkable loan season at the West Midlands club, supports Liverpool – the side he’ll be facing as part of Sunday’s title showdown.

Raul Jimenez has been a revelation for Wolves
“The Miracle of Istanbul was the most amazing game I’d ever seen,” Jimenez explained to SunSport, “Long before the end I’d decided Liverpool would be my team.
“I didn’t start out that night wanting them to win. I didn’t favour either AC Milan or Liverpool at kick-off but when Milan went 3-0 up I wanted Liverpool to score — just to keep it interesting.
“They not only scored once, they scored again and again. Afterwards, I began to like Liverpool.
“It showed me English players and English teams play until the last second of every match. They never give up.
“They always try to score the next goal — and they defend the goals they score with their lives.

Liverpool’s Istanbul triumph inspired a young Jimenez
Liverpool go into the season’s final game with their destiny out of their hands.
The Reds are a point behind Manchester City (95-94) with just 90 minutes of football left to play.
Jurgen Klopp’s men host Wolves on Sunday while, Pep Guardiola’s side travel for a seemingly easier fixture at Brighton.
However, after their miracle comeback against Barcelona to reach the Champions League final in midweek, they won’t be writing themselves off by any means.

Jimenez is driving Wolves towards the Europa League
Jimenez continued: “We’re in for a very tough match and it’s going to be extremely difficult, as Barcelona discovered. But we have a very good team and we can cause anyone problems.
“It will be the first time I’ve seen Anfield and I can’t wait to experience playing a team with Liverpool’s incredible history there on such a massive occasion.
“The atmosphere is going to be incredible but I love playing in big games against great players and famous clubs.
“It’s a shame for Liverpool that they already have 94 points — the most in their history — and that they could finish with 97 points and still finish second and lose everything.
“That must be difficult for them — to play so well all season and only lose one game in the Premier League yet still potentially come up short because one other team was a little better.”

Georginio Wijnaldum and Divock Origi both scored twice against Barcelona
“I receive messages on Instagram all the time from Manchester City, Manchester United and Wolves fans, who tell me, ‘You must win’ and, ‘We don’t want Liverpool to win the league so give 100 per cent’.
“It makes me smile because if it was any other team playing at Anfield I would want Liverpool to win.
“But my dream is to score in front of the Kop. I also have a friend at Manchester City who wants me to score, too.
“City goalkeeper Ederson was a team-mate of mine at Benfica so maybe we can do each other a favour.
“If we beat Liverpool it will be Manchester City who win the Premier League.
“He can then do me a favour by helping City beat Watford in the FA Cup final to guarantee Wolves play in next season’s Europa League.”
