Trent Alexander-Arnold almost curls in the free-kick but there wasn't enough dip on it and it flies just over the bar.

Jordan Henderson sprays it over to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who tries to cross it in on the volley but it's just too high for those in the box.

Grady Diangana tries to break but ends up trodding on the ball and Henderson then wins a free-kick off Conor Gallagher in the middle.

Nothing will annoy Sam Allardyce more than wasting a set piece.

Liverpool look a bit rattled. West Brom have a corner but it's straight at Alisson.

Here comes Matheus Pereira for West Brom. Callum Robinson is off.

That was the chance!! HUGE moment.

Karlan Grant sneaks in behind the youngster Rhys Williams, substituted on for the injured Joel Matip, and he's through one-on-one with Alisson.

Liverpool's keeper is sharp and cool, making himself big to pull off the save and rescue Williams.

Khan Karn: Nothing against Rhys Williams who has potential but surely Nathaniel Phillips has done better. Also man of the match last time out. Don't understand why Klopp doesn't give him a chance.

Tera Baap Harami: Joel Matip being added to the catalogue of injured players. Surely Klopp will have to dabble into the transfer market to snap up some solid deputies?

Chris Baldwin: They have won once all season and are away to the best team in the league. What are West Brom supposed to do? Start with three strikers and have a go? They would get hammered. It’s totally reasonable to try to keep it tight and try to nick a draw

Darnell Furlong wins a free-kick at the back post as Andy Robertson tries to get on the end of Jordan Henderson's whipped cross.

It's a good job too as Liverpool had numbers.

Mohamed Salah chips it over to Andy Robertson as Liverpool switch it from right to left.

He nods it back across goal, looking for Roberto Firmino, but the forward doesn't make the run, knowing Robertson is offside.

West Brom then go up the other end and Grady Diangana hits it on the volley but scuffs it. That was a chance!

Now it's a game of football as opposed to being attack versus defence.

The reason is West Brom have a player up front now so when they get the ball they can clear it.

If a manager doesn't believe in you and there's nobody up front it's soul-destroying but if you have someone up there and you're giving it a bit of a go you have a spring in your step and a bit of belief in your heart that you can do it.

Georginio Wijnaldum's cross is now headed over by Mohamed Salah. How many chances are Liverpool going to have?

Mohammed Salah squeezes it into the middle and it almost falls for Roberto Firmino before Semi Ajayi hastily pokes it out for a corner.

Curtis Jones threads it through to Andy Robertson but he's offside as his shot is blocked in the box.

Nice. Jordan Henderson chips it through to Roberto Firmino. He backheels it to Mohamed Salah, who plays it sharply back to Henderson.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross is then cleared and when Rhys Williams wins the 50-50 challenge near the right touchline and is penalised, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp loses his cool. He's into the book!

Here comes young Rhys Williams. Joel Matip is off. He gets a warm applause from the Liverpool fans in the Kop but it's more frustration for the centre-back.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's free-kick is cleared by West Brom and Callum Robinson can break down the right.

It's dealt with by Joel Matip but he immediately puts his arm in the air. He's injured again.

Simon Hutchins: No, I don't think Pat's a fan, but he's spot on, this is a damage limitation exercise today. They couldn't afford a heavy defeat today. West Brom don't have the players that Aston Villa have to try & win the game. It's three from five to go down & they have a chance.

Duncan: So parking the bus and playing 12 men behind the ball and only allowing Liverpool to have one shot on target is called having a great tactical mastermind. No it's boring, negative and not great for viewing.

Liverpool just need to make sure they don't drop off and give West Brom a way back in.

The Baggies are better this half. More shots on target too!

Curtis Jones is a little too eager to win the ball in midfield and he fouls Conor Gallagher.

From the free-kick, West Brom play it left to Callum Robinson and his cross causes problems before the referee whistles for a foul in the box on a Liverpool player.

Better. Karlan Grant receives the ball on the edge of the box and he does well to get a shot away.

It's straight at Alisson but West Brom have at least started to play a little.
