Liverpool v West Brom

Liverpool v West Brom (16:00 GMT)

I am convinced that if Philippe Coutinho had been fit to face Newcastle last weekend then Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp would have played a system with a false number nine at St James' Park, especially after getting so much success doing that elsewhere.

Game was not the biggest fun - Klopp

In the end, though, it was a non-performance and a defeat which was a bit of a reality check for the Reds after some really promising displays.

It showed how Klopp has to change his tactics if he picks Christian Benteke - you have to play to his strengths and put crosses in.

Liverpool have been finding things harder at home under Klopp - he has won three out of six games in all competitions at Anfield, all by a one-goal margin.

They have found it difficult to break down teams who come to Anfield to defend and you just know that West Brom will be well organised, although, on this occasion, I don't think it will be enough.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0

Mumford & Sons' prediction: 2-0
