This season is the first since 1921/22 that West Brom have beaten both Liverpool and Manchester United away from home.
It wasn’t a smash and grab act, they didn’t ride their luck and they fully deserved to be winners. One has to wonder whether or not they could’ve made a serious push if they had disposed of Pardew earlier. Klopp thinks West Brom will be a hard game, pointing out that they have picked up four points since changing manager including a win against Manchester United.
“We have to line up a really, really strong line-up”.
The big news is that Roberto Firmino is being rested, although Golden Boot hunter Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane will start the game.
Liverpool have scored more goals and conceded fewer than City since a 4-1 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur in October, although Guardiola’s team boast more points – 62 versus 57.
After shedding their first 9 Premier League conferences with Liverpool by an mixture rating of 0-25, West Brom have misplaced simply 5 of the next 14 (W4 D5 L5).
Their success against Liverpool this season has been remarkable considering how desperately they’ve struggled against virtually everybody else.
They registered a comprehensive 3-0 win against Bournemouth last week and still need to win games to ensure a place within “top four”. Wenger will be hoping to go out on a high by winning the Europa League which would secure Champions League football for his replacement next season.
Albion are now playing with complete freedom. He is likely to be partnered by former Newcastle United man Georginio Wijnaldum on one side and veteran midfielder James Milner on the other, meaning Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is likely to be benched.
Salah will have the chance to extend his lead over Kane at the top of the goalscoring standings when Liverpool take on West Brom at Anfield on Saturday.
