Team News

Liverpool

  • Liverpool lost ground on Premier League leaders Arsenal following the 2-2 draw with Newcastle United on Saturday and will be looking to return to winning ways with the welcome of West Bromwich Albion.
  • Manager Brendan Rodgers will be without the injured trio of Sebastián Coates, Iago Aspas and José Enrique, while Philippe Coutinho has returned to training but isn’t ready to start yet.
  • Rodgers is expected to persist with the 3-4-1-2 formation and could name an unchanged starting XI from the stalemate at St. James’ Park at the weekend.

West Bromwich Albion

  • West Bromwich Albion were unfortunate not to come away from Stoke City with all 3 points in their 0-0 draw at the weekend and will be looking to maintain their current unbeaten run.
  • The Baggies haven’t lost in their last 5 Premier League outings and manager Steve Clarke will be looking to continue this run of form when his squad travels to Liverpool.
  • The Scot will be without Zoltán Gera, Ben Foster and George Thorne, while Scott Sinclair is doubtful after recently returning to training from a hamstring problem.

Prediction

  • Brendan Rodgers will have been disappointed to have not defeated Newcastle United at the weekend after the Magpies went down to 10-men in the first half. He’ll be expecting his Liverpool side to pick up 3 points at the expense of a West Bromwich Albion side that have performed impressively as of late.
  • The Baggies are unbeaten in 5 in the Premier League and have won 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Liverpool, netting 5 and conceding 0 in both fixtures last term. Manager Steve Clarke will be looking to continue this impressive run against Liverpool, but chances are the Reds will be a more difficult proposition this time around.
  • In front of their home fans, Liverpool are tipped to come out on top, but will find it tough against an in-form West Brom side.
