West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke has insisted that his side will head into their game against Liverpool at Anfield full of confidence.

Clarke said that if his players went into the game worrying about the threat of Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez then the battle would already be lost.

"We will go to Anfield with confidence, being five games unbeaten," he told Sky Sports News. "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.

"You have to know that you're good enough to go to somewhere like Anfield and compete. If you go with an inferiority complex, you're beaten before you even get there. It will be a difficult game. Liverpool are a different team to last season and have started this season well.

"Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez deserve all the praise they get. Having said that, I don't think Jonas Olsson and Gareth McAuley will be losing any sleep on Friday night worrying about facing them."

West Brom have taken nine points from their last five league games.
