Last season, a trip to the Hawthorns rewarded us with a comfortable 3 points and a hard earned 2-0 victory. This season will see Rodgers begin his Premier League tenure with Liverpool in the West Midlands, facing a side who have also had a change in management. Reds fans will all be familiar with Steve Clarke, who left the club alongside Dalglish. A massively successful assistant, the Scotsman has now decided to take the reins at a Premier League club. While the Baggies haven’t altered their squad drastically, they still remain a solid team who are capable of causing upsets at any given moment; just ask those present at Anfield last season when West Brom grabbed a 1-0 victory. Still, I believe that Clarke will have a tougher time settling in to his new home than Rodgers will and a similar scoreline in the same fixture last season could be on the cards.
Prediction- West Brom1-2 Liverpool
