After the disappointment of Monday night’s 0-0 draw with Manchester United, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will be looking to return to winning ways. But despite Monday’s scoreline, the Reds are still moving in the right direction. Klopp’s men currently sit fourth in the league, two points behind Manchester City, and a win against West Brom would further cement their growing status as one of this season’s top dogs.

As for Tony Pulis’ side, West Brom head into Saturday’s match on the back of three consecutive Premier League draws. A win is long overdue for the side but given their opposition’s recent form, the Baggies are certainly up against it. Even so, Pulis enjoys an unparalleled record against Liverpool. The Welshman has not lost to Liverpool in his last six meetings with the side, drawing five times and securing one victory.

It’s a big game for…

Adam Lallana. The midfielder is in contention to start after he returned from a groin problem as a substitute on Monday. Should he be given the nod, he’ll need to put in a convincing performance in order to nail down his starting position in Klopp’s team.

Remember when…

Klopp made his players salute the Anfield faithful after holding West Brom to a 2-2 draw? Divock Origi’s last minute equaliser against the Baggies sent Anfield into a craze, but it was the side’s post-match celebrations, under Klopp’s insistence, that will be most well remembered.

Player to watch…

Nacer Chadli. The former Tottenham player has bagged four goals in five Premier League games for West Brom and is proving to be a commendable buy. Liverpool’s backline will have to keep their wits about them if they’re to stop the Belgian from doing any damage.
