Liverpool suffered a unexpected setback at St James’s Park last week, when they were beaten by a much-improved Newcastle United outfit. They look to get back on track quickly with a home tie against Tony Pulis’ West Bromwich Albion.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are odds-on at 4/9 with Coral to grab their third successive home victory in all competitions, against a team they have beaten comfortable on each their last two visits to Merseyside. The Baggies are 8/1 to cause an upset, and members of their squad are still around from the famous wins in front of the Kop in 2012 and 2013.

Baggies to frustrate hosts?

We all know that Pulis is a manager who builds from the back, and his team are a solid unit defensively. Not just the back four but the midfield and forwards are integral to any gameplan they will arrive in the Northwest with.

The visitors already have four Premier League clean sheets on their travels this term and no side has conceded fewer goals away from home than West Brom’s five. Another shut-out is priced at 11/2 but West Brom to concede under 1.5 at 6/5 also looks appealing.
