Dugout Discussion – West Brom vs Liverpool

The first of two Saturday fixtures gets underway at 12.30 as West Bromwich Albion welcome Liverpool to the Hawthorns.

Today’s big teamsheet news sees Roberto Firmino drop out of the visitors’ starting line-up, although Jurgen Klopp keeps faith in Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane elsewhere in the front three.

With his Golden Boot tussle against Harry Kane going right to the wire, Salah goes in search of a fifteenth double-figure haul of the season today.

The Baggies’ backline, meanwhile, have managed just a single shutout in their last 11 attempts.

Mane also boasts fine form for today’s early kick-off, with four goals and three assists in the Reds’ previous seven league outings.

The Merseysiders arrive on the back of a series of resilient showings, conceding just five times in 12 matches across all competitions.

Jay Rodriguez looks the man most likely to breach the visitors’ defence, having scored in three of the last four Gameweeks – including last Sunday’s winner at Old Trafford.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    There should a 'cash in' button on FPL. Worried your defenders will concede? Just cash in a small profit.

    I'd happily cash in on 1 CS point from Liverpool defenders right now. There's no way they're keeping a CS here.

    Aw, how the mighty have fallen, according to the BBC radio co-commentator:

    “All three of those corners were excellent and West Brom just needed someone to attack the ball. It doesn't seem that they have anyone capable of attacking the ball from set pieces.”

    West Brom? No threat from set pieces?
