da premier bet： One of the most mouth watering fixtures of the weekend, with all eyes on the dugout as Roy Hodgson faces the club that sacked him earlier on in the season. With his successor, Kenny Dalglish transforming Liverpool’s season it will be an interesting fixture as Hodgson will no doubt be seeking some revenge despite comments dismissing it as another game.
da fazobetai： Despite the focus on the managers, this game provides an interesting spectacle with Liverpool sporting the 3rd best form in the league that has seen Kenny take 20 points out of a possible 30 since taking over from Hodgson.
However, the Baggies also have had a change of fortunes since their new manager has been in place and are currently undefeated in the last five games. Whilst Liverpool will be pushing to finish the season as high as possible, West Brom are right in the relegation scrap which will make this a dogged affair.

Both teams can boast fairly strong squads for this fixture with only Carlos Vela being doubtful for the home side, whilst Steven Gerrard is likely to start on the bench following his return from a groin injury.
West Brom have a poor record against Liverpool in the Premier League having lost the last nine games against and have not scored a single goal against them in the top flight in recent years. With Liverpool boasting five clean sheets in their last 8 league games all the odds are stacked against Hodgson and his team in this fixture.
However with Liverpool’s new signings, Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll both finding their form and fitness of late, it could be all too much for the West Brom defence.
Prediction: West Brom 1-3 Liverpool
