Team News: Mario Balotelli starts for Liverpool in West Bromwich Albion clash

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers hands starts to Glen Johnson, Jordon Ibe and Mario Balotelli as he makes three changes to his lineup against West Bromwich Albion.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has made three changes to his side for their Premier League clash against West Bromwich Albion.

Glen Johnson, Jordon Ibe and Mario Balotelli all come into the starting lineup from their FA Cup semi-final defeat to Aston Villa at Wembley last week.

Lazar Markovic, Joe Allen and Alberto Moreno all drop out of the side to accommodate the changes, while Adam Lallana returns from injury on the bench.

West Brom boss Tony Pulis has named an unchanged team from his side that defeated Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in their last outing.

Saido Berahino and Victor Anichebe lead the line in an expected 4-4-2 formation at The Hawthorns.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Johnson, Skrtel, Lovren, Can, Ibe, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Coutinho, Balotelli
Subs: Jones, Toure, Manquillo, Lallana, Allen, Borini, Markovic

West Brom: Myhill, Dawson, McAuley, Lescott, Brunt, Gardner, Fletcher, Yacob, Morrison, Berahino, Anichebe
Subs: Rose, Baird, Olsson, Gamboa, McManaman, Sessegnon, Ideye
