West Bromwich Albion vs Liverpool – West Bromwich Albion hosts Liverpool at the Hawthorns on 21st April, Saturday in an English Premier League fixture.

West Bromwich Albion’s surprise 1-0 victory at the Old Trafford in their last game not only handed Manchester City the title, but it also gave them a boost in their race for survival from relegation, but the Baggies are still placed twentieth in the league standings with twenty-four points.

Liverpool, third in the league standings with seventy points have had a decent allround season in spite of their stumbling start in the first few weeks and Jurgen Klopp’s side played out a convincing 3-0 win over AFC Bournemouth in their previous league outing.
