Can West Brom cause another upset? With Jürgen Klopp surely focused on Roma at Anfield on Tuesday and Champions League football next season all but secured, it is a possibility. However it does feel like rather a large stretch of the imagination for the bumbling Baggies to best Liverpool despite needing to win to maintain their already incredibly slender hopes of staying up. Mohamed Salah alone has scored more league goals this season than Darren Moore’s side. Graham Searles
