Liverpool will be looking to get back to winning ways when they welcome West Bromwich Albion to Anfield on Saturday. The Reds saw their four-match winning run coming to an end after the goalless stalemate against arch rivals Manchester United on Monday. Despite having one of the best attacks in the league, Liverpool were finding it tough to create good attack against United’s dodgy defence and David de Gea’s brilliant work under the bars made the matters even tougher. However, United’s defensive approach will give them a lot of confidence as they will look to continue their impressive start to the season.

On the other hand, West Brom will be brimming with confidence after nearly pocketing all three points against Tottenham Hotspur in their last game. However, Delli Ali’s goal late in the second half rescued the Spurs and West Brom had to remain content with one point. The Baggies have also made an impressive start to the season and have lost only twice so far. However, they have not lost in their last matches with all the games ending on 1-1. They are looking quite solid at the back and will fancy their chances of causing an upset.

Team news:

Liverpool:

The home team has received a huge boost as two of their most important players – Georginio Wijnaldum and Adam Lallana, are set to return to the starting eleven. The Dutch midfielder missed the game against United while Lallana made an appearance as a substitute in the second half. James Milner received a knock in the last game but is expected to be fit for the upcoming match.

Predicted lineup: Loris Karius (GK), Nathaniel Clyne, Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip, James Milner, Adam Lallana, Georginio Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Phillipe Coutinho

West Bromwich Albion:

Tony Pulis’ team will be without their star defender Jonny Evans. Apart from that, Tony Pulis will have a full squad to choose from. Tony Pulis has a great head to head record against Liverpool as a manager and is unbeaten in his last eight matches against them. The visitors are flying high and will be looking to continue their impressive run.

Predicted lineup: Ben Foster, Craig Dawson, Gareth McAuley, Jonas Olsson, Allan Nyom, Darren Fletcher, Claudio Yacob, Matt Phillips, Nacer Chadli, James McClean, Salomon Rondon
