Liverpool v West Brom live stream: Kick-off time, team news, TV channel and how to watch Premier League clash

talksport.com, 27 December 2020, 11:35
It's a top v bottom clash in the Premier League today as leaders Liverpool take on relegation-threatened West Brom.

Liverpool are starting to find their very best form and smashed Crystal Palace 7-0 last time out.

They are top of the table and can extend their lead to five points today.

West Brom, meanwhile, are looking for their first points under new manager Sam Allardyce.

Allardyce's reign as Baggies boss got off to a miserable start last Sunday with a 3-0 loss to West Midlands rivals Aston Villa.

Liverpool v West Brom: Team news

Thiago Alcantara is not ready to return yet while Diogo Jota, Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez are still out.

Mohamed Salah should return to the starting line-up after beginning on the bench last weekend.

West Brom will be without captain Jake Livermore who is beginning his three-game ban.

Matheus Pereira is back following his own suspension.

Conor Townsend, Kyle Bartley, Sam Field and Hal Robson-Kanu are among the Baggies' absentees.

Liverpool v West Brom: What has been said?

On facing Sam Allardyce again, Jurgen Klopp said: "It's a tricky one. We made the analysis.

"It is a mix of when Sam was at Everton and the last game - his first game against Aston Villa.

"What I expect is a tough opponent, it is always tough against Sam Allardyce teams: well organised, don't make a big fuss of possession and the situation West Brom are in any way it will be a proper fight.

"Sam is a proven specialist for organising teams for these kind of fights.

"We expect a tough game obviously."

Liverpool v West Brom: Match stats and facts

After winning 10 of their first 11 Premier League meetings with West Brom (L1) by an aggregate score of 28-2, Liverpool have won just four of their last 13 against the Baggies (D6 L3).

All four of West Brom's Premier League victories against Liverpool came in a five-game spell between April 2011 and February 2013, with Roy Hodgson and Steve Clarke in charge of the Baggies for two wins each.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 10 league meetings with West Brom, though six of these have ended level (W4). The Reds have also won all 14 of their Premier League home games against promoted sides under Jurgen Klopp, scoring 41 goals and conceding just seven.

West Bromwich Albion have lost 29 of their last 34 top-flight matches against the reigning champions (W2 D3), losing 83% of their Premier League games against such sides (P24 W2 D2 L20).

This will be West Brom's 18th Premier League match against a side starting the day top of the table (W1 D4 L12), with their only win in their previous 17 coming against Chelsea in May 2015, who had already been crowned champions.

Liverpool have lost one of their last 52 home Premier League matches against newly promoted sides (W42 D9), a 2-1 defeat to Blackpool in the 2010/11 season.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their 10 Premier League games since losing 2-7 against Aston Villa in October (W6 D4), with the Reds conceding just eight further goals in that run.

West Brom manager Sam Allardyce is unbeaten in his last three Premier League away games against Liverpool (W1 D2), having picked up just two points in his first 12 top-flight visits to Anfield (D2 L10). Indeed, Allardyce was the last opposition manager to win a Premier League game at Anfield, doing so with Crystal Palace in April 2017.

At Anfield, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in 15 goals in 10 Premier League appearances against newly promoted teams (9 goals, 6 assists), scoring a hat-trick against Leeds earlier this season.

Liverpool's Roberto Firmino has been involved in four goals in his last two Premier League games (3 goals, 1 assist), as many as in his first 12 appearances this season (2 goals, 2 assists). His two goals and assist against Crystal Palace last time out made him the first Brazilian player to reach 100 goal involvements in Premier League history.

It's a top v bottom clash in the Premier League today as leaders Liverpool take on relegation-threatened West Brom.
