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.

      Would help if the ref wasn't a choker. Scared to give big decisions against the home team.

    Stuart Attwell your a flaming disgrace. Should of never ref a game after the famous ghost goal. No Yellow for Rondon. Dawson foul on Ings stone wall penalty. Now giving foul against Ings, after Hegazi whacks him.

    Joshua wants Hegazi to fight him in Britain for undisputed title

    LONDON (Reuters) - Anthony Joshua, ever more the golden boy of British boxing, says he has no interest in trying to conquer Egypt after adding a fourth world heavyweight championship belt to his collection.

    Instead, he wants Egypt — in the shape of WBC champion Ahmed Hegazi — to come and fight him in his own backyard for the undisputed crown.
