History of the West Bromwich Albion v Liverpool fixture

West Brom. prepare to entertain Liverpool at The Hawthorns on Sunday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 24 of the 65 previous games, with the Baggies winning just 23.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Hawthorns was just last season, in April 2003, where Liverpool annihilated the Baggies 0-6 in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

West Bromwich Albion's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Baggies have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Liverpool's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Reds have conceded 6 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

West Brom. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 18 games have yielded only 10 points. Liverpool find themselves in a respectable 6th position, courtesy of the 28 points they have accumulated from 18 games.
