| PROBABLE LINEUPS |
|
LIVERPOOL
 Reina Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Enrique Gerrard, Lucas, Henderson Downing, Sturridge, Suarez |
WEST BROM  Foster Reid, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell Yacob, Mulumbu Dorrans, Morrison, Brunt Long |
Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge (hip) should make the starting lineup, despite picking up a knock in the club's 2-2 draw at Manchester City.
Winger Raheem Sterling (calf) should also make a return to the squad, but Martin Kelly (knee) is out until March. Philippe Coutinho is still struggling to gain enough match fitness to make his Reds debut, but could feature on the bench.
West Brom will be without defender Goran Popov after he was sent off against Tottenham for spitting at Kyle Walker, incurring a three-match ban.
The Baggies are also missing long-term absentees Zoltan Gera and George Thorne (knee injuries), but Youssouf Mulumbu (knee) could make a return after featuring for DR Congo in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Peter Odemwingie is highly unlikely to feature with his future at the club still uncertain after he tried to force a deadline-day transer to Queens Park Rangers.
