Jurgen Klopp is ready to call Mohamed Salah to the starting lineup when Liverpool take on West Brom. The Egyptian was on the bench the last time the Premier League champion beat Crystal Palace 7-0 at Selhurst Park eight days ago.
However, it didn’t stop Salah from making a big impact and found the net twice in South East London despite playing only the final 35 minutes of the match.
Now the Premier League’s top scorer will have West Brom’s shaky defense running scared before his trip to Merseyside with new boss Sam Allardyce.
Coincidentally, the former England manager was the last visiting coach to win at Anfield when he guided his former Crystal Palace team to a 2-1 victory in April 2017.
The Baggies are already five points adrift in 19th place, but they will be looking to cause a surprise against the league leaders.

Unfortunately for him, Klopp sees the Japanese international as someone fighting for a place in the top three.
It’s something that can work against Minamino when things get tough and Curtis Jones is more likely to come back after being benched at Palace.
Jones has been in excellent shape and has been a regular this season under Klopp in his big season.
In attack, Sadio Mane will be looking to prove a point after being replaced last week by Salah, much to his frustration.
Salah will start as mentioned with Roberto Firmino completing Liverpool’s attack.
The Brazilian has finally gotten back in shape and will be eager to get back on the field.
Expected Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, Matip, Fabinho, Alexander-Arnold; Wijnaldum, Henderson, Jones; Salah, Mane, Firmino.
