Liverpool v West Bromwich Albion: Baggies face Reds backlash
Liverpool go into Sunday’s game with West Bromwich Albion still searching their first league win under new manager Roy Hodgson. However, history suggests this should be an easy day at the office for the Anfield giants.
The visitors haven’t won on the red half of Merseyside for 43 years and haven’t even breached Liverpool’s goal, home or away, for 24 years. If ever there was a home banker this is it.
The Baggies surprised a few pundits last weekend by beating Sunderland at the Hawthorns but nobody, not even our Albion fan, expects anything other than a home win here.
