"12:36PM 7 mins Karius has to come off his line to boot a long ball over the top away. West Brom looking to react to that early setback immediately. 12:35PM GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL! Ings scores! Boos ring out at the Hawthorns. West Brom 0 - 1 Liverpool (Danny Ings, 4 min) 12:33PM 4 mins Liverpool win a corner. It's cleared, Milner has it wide right and hits a brilliant powerful cross to the corner of the six yard box and it's kept alive. Liverpool are in here! 12:32PM 3 mins Rondon tries to force his way past a defender into the box but the goalkeeper smothers, West Brom instantly fall back into a deep defensive shape behind the halfway line. That's the strategy for the day. Rondon battles with Klavan again, the pair shoving each other as they chase the ball into the channel. Free-kick to Liverpool. 12:30PM KICK OFF west brom vs liverpool kickoff Here we go! Liverpool get the game started. 12:27PM Here come the players! 12:11PM Darren Moore pre-match words ""It's been great, we've gotten together as a group and worked hard as a group. there's wonderful belief in each other, everybody's working hard to turn this situation around. we're just working hard, we can't control what's happened in the past. ""No (we aren't entertaining thoughts of surviving relegation). It's the next game. The next game is today. There's nothing we can do and we'll put all our efforts into the next game. "" 12:10PM Result vs performance One side of the argument says that supporting a club like West Brom means you should accept the players are of a lower quality and to survive in the Premier League they need to play defensive, rigid football and that's that. The other says that even if they lose every game, they'd much prefer the team to have a go, attack and play football. That style is much better to watch but against stronger teams is asking for trouble. Obviously you can have a mix and adapt depending on the opposition, but I know I'd much prefer my team to actually play football. There's a reason Pep Guardiola was able to turn the Barca B team into a machine before he took the big job. There's a reason Ajax were able to win a European cup back in the 90s. There's a reason Alex Ferguson was able to dominate Scottish football with Aberdeen - and even beat Real Madrid. Yeh, sure, it's a different game now, but these things all happened with attacking football. What do you think? 11:52AM A lovely day Credit: PA What a day it is! A fine day for football or sitting in the park listening to music through one of those little bluetooth speakers. I don't want to hear your music! Use headphones! Arrhghgghg. But really, football is the winner today. West Brom aren't relegated (yet) but Liverpool's incredible front three could kill them off today. Will Darren Moore have a cunning plan up his sleeve? I suspect it'll be a 4-5-1 low block looking to deny space in behind and try to hit an unsuspecting, frustrated opposition with a counter-attack or score from a corner. Liverpool might be a little too good for them today. 11:37AM West Brom starting lineup An unchanged XI...#WBALIV#COYB#WBApic.twitter.com/Jtw2IqhuL9— West Bromwich Albion (@WBA) April 21, 2018 11:36AM Liverpool starting lineup Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, with one eye on Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Roma, has made five changes for the trip to rock-bottom West Brom, including giving a rest to 25-goal forward Roberto Firmino. However, he still fields a strong front line with Mohamed Salah, one of the favourites to be named Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year on Sunday, retaining his place alongside Sadio Mane with Danny Ings replacing Firmino and James Milner in for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in midfield. There are three changes at the back as only Virgil van Dijk keeps his place from last weekend's win over Bournemouth as Ragnar Klavan comes in with Alberto Moreno making his first Premier League start since late November and Joe Gomez back after a month out with an ankle injury.
