After the disappointment of the Merseyside derby draw, it’s important that Liverpool bounce back with three points against West Brom.
They too have a new recently appointed manager, like Everton ,and it can be a difficult game to predict against sides like that, with players out to impress the new man in charge.
That said, West Brom are a poor side and the league table reflects that. They have a squad full of journey men and average players and they shouldn’t be able to cope with Liverpool if Jurgen Klopp picks a strong line-up.
That is the million dollar question though, “what will the team be?” as the one selected against Everton baffled everyone really and I felt that even though we controlled the game, the performance was a little bit disjointed with so many changes as players were out of sync with each other at times.
Hopefully the two Brazilians; Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho, return for this game and the midfield energy of Gini Wijnaldum will be welcome too.
The team will have a point to prove and want to make up for the weekend’s dropped points, so I am expecting them to get back to winning ways with a comfortable 3-0 win for the Reds.
Prediction:
Liverpool 3-0 West Brom
(Mane, Firmino, Coutinho)
