West Brom. prepare to entertain Liverpool at The Hawthorns at tea-time on Saturday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 25 of the 66 previous games, with the The Baggies winning just 23.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Hawthorns was just last season, in December 2004, where Liverpool annihilated the The Baggies 0-5 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 The Baggies have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Liverpool's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Reds, and 4 goals against.
West Brom. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 27 points from 31 matches. Liverpool sit in a healthy 3rd in the league, and have picked up 64 points from their 32 games.
