West Bromwich Albion host Liverpool in the Barclays Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Baggies have been on a poor run of form of late which has seen them slide from mid-table, to only being outside the relegation zone on goal difference. Their last match was a thrilling 4-3 derby defeat away to Aston Villa.
The Reds, who also suffered disappointment against Villa recently, got back to winning ways with a hugely satisfying derby thrashing of Everton in midweek, but the Blues' win over Villa yesterday has put them back to within a point of their rivals.
West Brom are without Nicolas Anelka (leg), Goran Popov (neck) and Stephane Sessegnon (groin).
Liverpool are without Daniel Agger (calf), Sebastian Coates (knee), Jose Enrique (knee), Glen Johnson (knock), Lucas (knee) and Mamadou Sakho (hamstring).

Just think this could be one of the games we all look back on if we just miss out on 4th. Games like Southampton and Hull we deserved to lose and came up against teams in form. This is just a case of us slipping up
---
if we miss out on fourth i will more than likely look at the horrific injury list we have hadthroughout january and the VERY VERY poor refereeing decisions against city and chelsea..
We have also had 5/6 wrong offside decisions against us in the last few games..
Occasionally dropping points is the nature of the sport.

I'm fickle, so what? But I'm going to be unhappy if my team play below par and give away a match. I'll get over it

Missing Lucas and Agger and not playing someone like Allen who can move the ball quickly with a pass as well frequent defensive mistakes have cost us the match today and many other games.
Both our centre midfielders Gerrard and Henderson can't control games. Gerrard sits back and doesn't move the ball out of our area with the way he used to do. Sometimes giving the ball away. HHenderson just keeps moving away from the ball and doesn't wsnt the ball. Coutinho and Sterling were the only one who were moving the ball forward. BR should have known by now that Coutinho best position is in the center.
I'm waiting for the time when Henderson sits on the bench or gets subbed. He has played every game and yet to score. He doesn't creat enough as an attacking midfielder. People give him credit for his hard work and chasing the ball.
West Brom were poor. Their only chance was us making a mistake. They new that and got the fans to help them with it. Toure panicking under the pressure from the players and fans made that mistake.

Only rubbish teams draw against west brom

^That makes Arsenal rubbish as well who also drew with WBA. At least WBA didn't trouble us. We gifted them the goal. Arsenal were all over the place against them and were lucky to get a draw
