On Sunday Liverpool is at home to West Brom. Big Sam is back in football long ball specialist. His aim is to dent the home record of Liverpool I cannot see his team taking away any point but it is going to be a difficult game. My prediction: Liverpool 3: West Brom OTHER FIXTURES AND PREDICTIONS Saturday 26th December. Leicester City v Manchester United 2:2 Aston Villa v Crystal Palace 1:1 Fulham v Southampton 1:3 Arsenal v Chelsea 2:1 Manchester City v Newcastle United 2:0 Sheffield United v Everton 2:2 Sunday 27th December Leeds United v Burnley 2:1 West Ham United v Brighton & Hove Albion 2:1 Liverpool v West Bromwich Albion 3:0 Wolverhampton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur 2 :2
JONES KNOWS HAS GONE FOR HOME WIN 2:0 Liverpool vs West Brom, Sunday 4.30, live on Sky Sports please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Liverpool West Bromwich Albion Sunday 27th December 4:15pmKick off 4:30pm Can you imagine the smile on Big Sam's face if he was to become the man to break Liverpool's 66 game unbeaten home run? It would be the ultimate 'mic drop' moment. West Brom are 25/1 to do so. And, honestly, I'd probably still be apprehensive of backing them if you offered me 250/1. Liverpool's staggering run will be ended by someone soon but there will be other days for that project. Here, they will simply carry too much firepower. With the rapid schedule of games on the horizon, there's a strong probability Liverpool will ease off the gas in the second period once the game is sewn up in order to rest some limbs. Klopp's boys, who will be fresher than they have been all season after an eight-day rest period between games, have scored more first-half goals than any other Premier League side this season (17), so are placed to go for West Brom's throat in the early knockings of this one. That makes the 2/1 for the most goals to come in the first half an interesting angle to consider. JONES KNOWS PREDICTS: 2-0 (7/1 with Sky Bet)
LAWRO HAS GONE FOR HOME WIN. 3:0 Liverpool v West Brom (16:30 GMT) Liverpool's home record is just unbelievable, fans or no fans. All the time, their young players are getting more and more experience too and, whoever they play at Anfield, they seem to be able to just brush them aside. It's hard to make a case for West Brom to get anything out of this one but it would help matters if they can keep 11 players on the pitch this weekend. I am sure new Baggies boss Sam Allardyce will get that message across to his players pretty quickly but, in terms of results, I am not expecting to see them make much improvement until the January transfer window opens. Big Sam is the last man to win at Anfield in the Premier League, with Palace in April 2017, but I don't see a repeat result for him here. I know it has been a strange season, but come on! Lawro's prediction: 3-0 Rick's prediction: Oh dear! I fear for West Brom here - this could be literally anything. Mr Allardyce will have had a few more days to organise West Brom, but he's got to work with what he has got for now. 5-0
