What Managers Say
Brendan Rodgers: "West Brom are a dangerous team, but we know our home games are vital and we really need to make sure we get three points at the weekend. We've been working on it because we know we can get goals. It's something we need to fix as we know that we can keep clean sheets - we kept three in a row at the start of the season."
Steve Clarke: "We will go to Anfield with confidence, being five games unbeaten. We're never daunted by going to the big grounds and we go to these places with the intention of winning the game. That's the frame of mind you have to approach these games in."
