Liverpool will look to reinforce their grip at the top of the Premier League table when they face West Bromwich Albion at Anfield this afternoon.

Jurgen Klopp has made two changes to his starting eleven with Mohamed Salah coming in to start in attack after resting for a 7-0 win at Crystal Palace last time out. Takumi Minamino is the man who will lead the way as Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino maintain their places in Liverpool’s top three spots.

Curtis Jones also receives a retirement from Klopp with Naby Keita leaving. Jones joins Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum in Liverpool’s midfield with James Milner and Xherdan Shaqiri returning to the bench after recovering from injury. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also among today’s alternates.

Alisson Becker starts again in goal for the defending champions, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson fill the wing positions. Joel Matip accompanies Fabinho in the middle of defense, so Rhys Williams, Nat Phillips and Neco Williams are named to the bench by Klopp.
