Conor Coady insists Wolves are out to end Liverpool's title dream, even if it potentially ruins his friendships.

The boyhood Red started his career in the club's academy but still wants to win when Wolves take on Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League.

Liverpool are a point behind Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title and need to beat Wolves and hope their rivals slip up at Brighton to win their first top-flight crown since 1990.

Coady made two appearances for Liverpool before joining Huddersfield in 2014 but will put his lifelong loyalties aside.

"There's no reason we can't do a job there," he told the Express & Star.

"We've played some good stuff this year, there's been some highs, some lows, but we've got a certain way of playing, we'll stick with that and hopefully end the season on a high.

"Every week I look at Liverpool and hope they win. What they've done this year has been absolutely incredible, the title race has been amazing.

"My mates are all season-ticket holders there and keep saying a few things about it. I supported them growing up but I'm playing for Wolves now, and no matter who we are playing against, we go there to win and that's the mentality we'll all have."

Wolves have secured seventh place which will book a Europa League qualifying spot if Watford lose next week's FA Cup final to Manchester City.

It is the highest finish of a newly-promoted club in the Premier League since Ipswich came fifth in 2001.

"This is our first year back in the Premier League and we have the chance to get 60 points which would be amazing," Coady added.

"We're going there full of confidence and hopefully to get the win. It's a good game, looking at what they have done and our season. It's important we enjoy the game because when you do that, you play well."
