EPL: Liverpool v West Brom preview
Liverpool v West Brom preview
Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has returned to full training but he will not be in contention to face West Brom.
Manager Jurgen Klopp is set to make changes again, however, with Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino due to start having been rested at the weekend.
So far Klopp made 59 changes to his starting 11 this season; only Manchester United in 2002 have made more in Premier League history at this stage of the campaign.
Jurgen Klopp has defended his comments in his post-match interview following Sunday's Merseyside derby
"If we had the squad last year we would have done it last year," said Klopp. "For all these games I really think if we have the quality in the squad that we have we have to use it."
If the Baggies fail to win at Liverpool on Wednesday it would stretch their winless run to 16 games in all competitions, the longest in their 139-year history.
Albion are only above the Premier League relegation zone on goal difference after Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Swansea. They have not won since August and have conceded seven goals in the final 16 minutes of games to lose 12 points this season.
Along with Lallana, defenders Joel Matip (muscle injury) and Alberto Moreno (ankle) will also miss the game with a number of other players carrying knocks from Sunday's Merseyside derby.

Craig Dawson could return for West Brom after missing the last seven games. The defender has been out with a knee problem but is back in training and may replace Allan Nyom after Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Swansea.
Chris Brunt recovered from a thigh injury to feature in Wales but Gareth Barry (thigh), James Morrison (Achilles) and Nacer Chadli (hip) remain sidelined while Matt Phillips is a doubt with a hamstring problem.
