Liverpool v West Brom Betting Tips – Premier League 13th December 8.00pm
The Reds couldn’t get the better of their rivals Everton on the weekend in the Merseyside derby but have a chance to make immediate amends as they face up to the struggling West Brom at Anfield in midweek. West Brom saw themselves fall into further difficulty as they lost to fellow strugglers Swansea. This is no easy game for them in which to try and muster up a fight back to give themselves a bit of breathing space from the relegation zone. The pressure is really on them.
Liverpool News and Form
The Reds could only manage a 1-1 draw at home against Everton on the weekend in the Merseyside derby, but they can blame the equalising penalty decision as much as they want, the truth is they have should have buried their rivals long before that. The draw though extended their unbeaten streak of form to seven matches in the top flight, with five wins and they are still looking fluent and are creating stacks of chances for themselves. Liverpool are unbeaten at home this term with a W4 D4 record from their eight games and they are scoring well enough certainly to suggest that they are going to have a comfortable time in this one. Liverpool have scored at least three goals in five of their last seven league outings home and away. Liverpool have scored 14 goals in their eight home fixtures in the top flight this season and they have only conceded the three of them at Anfield which is excellent. Only 38% of Liverpool’s home games in the top flight this season have gone over 2.5 goals and their output has been much better on the road. Still, this has to be worth a look at going over 2.5 goals against West Brom’s poor defence and a Liverpool 2-0 correct score at William Hill has good appeal at 6/1. Mo Salah continued his tremendous scoring form with another goal on the weekend and he is the 8/11 anytime goalscorer favourite, his opener against Everton moving him on to thirteen in the Premier League. He is the only Liverpool player to have scored more than two goals at Anfield so far this term.
West Brom News and Form
West Brom have not won in fourteen Premier League games now. Their season got a bit worse last weekend as they lost at Swansea, a game which they should have really been targeting three points in. That was a real blow for the Baggies and Alan Pardew has his work cut out in his new job. West Brom have only scored in two of their last six league games now and on their travels, they are W1 D2 L5 for the season and they have managed just the one goal in their last four away from the Hawthorns. In total from their eight away games West Brom have only netted four times and now they are ten points worse off than they were at this stage of last season. They have produced so little that only 12% of their away games this term have gone over 2.5 goals and Liverpool to win to nil at William Hill has to have big appeal at 10/11. Both teams not to score at William Hill is a bit of a banker at 4/6. Seven of the ten away goals that West Brom have conceded this season away from the Hawthorns have come in the second half of matches, but still, it looks unlikely that they will be even good enough to hang in for a half time draw. A Liverpool/Liverpool half time/full time bet is a short 8/13 price to back that up. The Baggies have taken only three points in their last eight games in current form now. That’s how badly that they have been struggling.
Liverpool v West Brom Head to Head
Liverpool have won three of their last four home games against West Brom (D1) and they are unbeaten in eight Premier League contests against the Baggies as well now (W4 D4). They won both league meetings against West Brom by a one goal margin last season.

Liverpool can make amends for their misfire on the weekend against Everton. They really had enough chances to have hammered the Toffees. The defence of West Brom isn’t likely going to stand up tot too much of a stern test and one awaits them in this one. Home win to nil has appeal.
