How Liverpool could line up against West Bromwich Albion

By Ben Knapton, Senior Reporter | 14 May 2021

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for their Premier League clash with West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp once again must work around a plethora of absentees for Sunday's Premier League trip to West Bromwich Albion.

The Reds remain without long-term absentees Jordan Henderson, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk - the latter of whom has now ruled out his chances of playing for the Netherlands at Euro 2020 this summer.

With Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak also missing out the win over Manchester United due to knocks, Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips look set to pair up in the heart of defence once more.

James Milner and Naby Keita also occupy spots in the Liverpool treatment room, with Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara hopeful of keeping their places in Klopp's midfield three.

Curtis Jones earned praise from the Liverpool boss for his 20-minute cameo after replacing Georginio Wijnaldum at Old Trafford, though, so Klopp may decide to give Jones a run-out over the soon-to-be free agent.

Roberto Firmino justified his selection against Liverpool with a brace and is set to lead the line again, while Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota's goals have given Klopp a headache in the final third.

Salah is indispensable on the right-hand side, and Sadio Mane snubbed a post-match handshake from Klopp after the Liverpool boss made a last-minute call to bench him for Jota, but Klopp has downplayed the incident and Mane could contend for a start this weekend.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Williams, Robertson; Fabinho, Thiago, Jones; Salah, Firmino, Mane
