A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Liverpool fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and West Bromwich Albion's 19th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Liverpool has the most scored goals (36) in Premier League
- West Bromwich Albion has the the worst goal difference (-19) in Premier League
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Liverpool form and stats
Liverpool, who have the most scored goals (36) in Premier League, have been outstanding at home so far in the Premier League with 7 wins, 0 draws and only 0 losses. Liverpool has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Aston Villa defeat 83 days ago.
A strong away win for Liverpool against Crystal Palace the last match, as Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino (2), Sadio Mané, Mohamed Salah (2) and Takumi Minamino were on target. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Tottenham Hotspur.
As mentioned above, Liverpool "killed" Crystal Palace in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Liverpool are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Anfield with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. five earlier games are comparable to this one, and Liverpool has won five times, drawn zero and lost zero. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Liverpool has won by at least two goals three times when in this position.
There will be little rest for Liverpool after this match as they are travelling to Newcastle United for a Premier League game in only three days.
Liverpool are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (20 goals in 7 games). Liverpool have conceded 7 in these home matches.
West Bromwich Albion form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for West Bromwich Albion, who have the the worst goal difference (-19) in Premier League, so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-5 (win-draw-lose).
Before that, WBA travelled to Manchester City and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
WBA goalkeeper Sam Johnstone had a great day against Aston Villa, but despite making seven saves the loss could not be avoided.
Nobody expects WBA to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath one time before, with the overall statistics of won zero, draw one and lost zero. When defeated, zero matches have been lost by two or more goals.
A new game in only two days for WBA, the Premier League home match versus Leeds United. Busy days.
The attacking power of WBA when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. The West Bromwich Albion manager S. Bilić has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Liverpool, six draws and one win for West Bromwich Albion. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
