Paul Merson states his prediction for Liverpool FC v West Brom
Paul Merson looks ahead to Liverpool FC's clash with West Brom in the Premier League on Wednesday night
Paul Merson is backing Liverpool FC to get back to winning ways in the Premier League by sealing a comfortable 3-0 win over West Brom Albion at Anfield on Wednesday night.
The Reds head into the game having slumped to a disappointing 1-1 draw with Everton in the Merseyside derby clash at Anfield on Sunday afternoon after they were pegged back by Sam Allardyce’s men.
Liverpool FC have otherwise been in good form in recent weeks and the Reds currently find themselves fourth in the table and 16 points behind leaders Manchester City.
Jurgen Klopp’s team will be keen to get back to winning ways on Wednesday night at Anfield as they look to set themselves up for a successful festive period in the Premier League.
And former Arsenal star Merson is fully expecting to see the Reds claim all three points with a comfortable win in midweek.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Merson said: “West Brom haven’t got going have they? It is all well and good coming in and saying that they are going to be playing front-foot football, but they have to produce.
“At Swansea they were really poor. Two games, no goals.
“I can’t see anything but a Liverpool win, they will be fuming after Sunday. It is a very, very soft penalty. If you give that you have to give 50 penalties a game.
“They’ll have too much for West Brom though.”
Liverpool FC finished in fourth place last season as they secured Champions League qualification in Klopp’s first full season in charge.
The Reds will take on FC Porto in the last 16 of the Champions League after the draw was made in Nyon on Monday morning.
