After a dull 0-0 draw against Manchester United last weekend, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool face a tougher test now as they welcome Tony Pulis’s West Brom side to Anfield this weekend. The Reds have not had the best time against the Baggies in the last few season and are without a win against them in the last 4 meetings. Pulis knows how to keep Liverpool frustrated for long periods and Klopp will need every player to be at his best to take anything from this game. Here is the predicted lineup that Liverpool might field on the night against the Baggies:
Here is the predicted lineup that Liverpool might field on the night against the Baggies:
The manager revealed that star midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, who missed the game against United is back in action this weekend along with long-term absentee Joe Gomez, who is just back in training. The manager also revealed the makeshift left-back James Milner will undergo a scan before deciding on his place this weekend.
Loris Karius:
With another nervy moment that did not cost the side anything against United, Karius has not looked at his best this season but will start this game against the Baggies.
Nathaniel Clyne:
One of the first names on the team sheet for Liverpool at the back, Clyne should keep his place in the side as a right back for this game.
Joel Matip:
Growing on to become one of the best summer buys this season, Matip has been excellent for Liverpool this campaign and will start at the heart of the defense for his side this weekend.
Dejan Lovren:
A superb performance against Manchester United will give Lovren plenty of confidence going into this game against the Baggies.
Alberto Moreno:
Though almost forgotten, Moreno came in at the final stages against Manchester United and is expected to start this game for Liverpool if James Milner is not fit enough.
Emre Can:
The German international started the game against United a bit shakily but was impressive in the latter stages. He might keep his place in the side for the game this weekend.
Jordan Henderson:
Still the most influential midfielder in the Premier League this season, Henderson will have a huge role to play this weekend against Tony Pulis’ side at Anfield.
Adam Lallana:
Showed his class in the few minutes he was on the pitch against United and will be raring to go from the start after attaining full fitness against WBA.
Sadio Mane:
The Senegalese winger was not as effective as he would have wanted against Manchester United but he has a great chance to come back to his form this weekend against the Baggies.
Phillipe Coutinho:
The Brazilian played a deeper role last weekend but he will be back in a more advanced role against West Brom this weekend at Anfield.
Roberto Firmino:
Once again showed his prowess as a number 9 in the dying stages of the game against Manchester United and should start this game against West Brom as the lone striker.
