West Bromwich Albion Vs Liverpool (29/10/2011) K.O.: 17:30 GMT

So after a body battering encounter against Stoke midweek and triumphant progression into the quarter finals of the Carling Cup, we return to Premier League action at the weekend against the Owl faced cretin who nearly took us down to Division one aka "The Championship" now managing West Brom.

The game is live on ESPN at 17:00 GMT.

Current West Brom premiership form:

Aston Villa   1-2  West Brom
West Brom  2-0  Wolverhampton
Sunderland 2-2  West Brom
West Brom  0-0  Fulham
Swansea     3-0 West Brom

Won 2, Drawn 2, Lost 1.

I'll wager this being an open affair but due to Woy's renowned defensive attitude can only see us bagging 3 points out of this one. Odemwingie, Scharner and Tchoyi are the main threats however even though I highly rate Peter we have a lot greater firepower in our locker.

I'd have Carroll in the line up as I can see Woy trying to park 11 men in the squad for 80 mins and then try to nick one at the end so will give us a constant threat in the air.

**My prediction: 1-3 *** - editted as forgot we were away =)

My Squad:

                                           Pepe
Johnson           Carra                         Agger             Enrique

                                 Lucas           Adam

          Stevie                                                        Downing
                                  Carroll         Suarez

Subs: Doni, Kelly, Skrtel, Spearo, Kuyt, Henderson, Bellamy
                               
Who would you start and whats the score going to be?

Well we know how they are gonna play against us, as all his sides play exactly the same. Get stuck into these and we'll win by about three goals no problem.

I'm looking for Downing to have a big impact on this game.

Personally think that that Tchoyi they have is a bag of sh*te! Big Donkey!

I like Odemwingie and Long though. Think Long will be out injured though after that tackle on him last weekend by Hutton. Hope so anyway or he could really exploit Carras lack of pace.

Gonna go for a 2-1 win

That's if Carra plays on Sat after being taken off last night 

If we dig in and play like we did last night then I have no worries we'll come away with the three points, obviously we'll be more aware than most with Woy's negative tactics, surely he won't park the bus at home will he 

I think I've gone for a 3-1 to us for this game, just as long as we're a bit more clinical in front of goal and put a few of these chances we keep getting into the back of the net.

                                                               Reina

   Johnson                          Coates                      Agger                          Enrique

                                                  Lucas     Adam
                 Suarez                              Gerrard                          Maxi

                                                          Kuyt   

Says half 5 KO on the official

It is 5.30 kick off, thanks for pointing that out chap, I've altered it on the opening post.

It's live on ESPN again as well.

For us Yanks, it's on Fox Soccer at 12:30 eastern (9:30 am for me...thank the lord!).

I'd go attacking but definitely keep Lucas to quell counter attacks. We know how Woy will set them out: 8 men behind the ball, two strikers up top to exploit on the counter. If we can get some crosses in, we'll have a good chance. Hence, I'd start big Andy.

                                                    Reina

Johnson              Skrtel                            Agger                            Enrique

                                Lucas                        Adam

Suarez                                 Gerrard                                     Downing

                                       Carroll

I've gone 3-0. I think confidence will be high. Let's get an early goal for F**k's sake

Ohh god not the owl man!

                                 Reina
Johnson          Carra          Agger          Enrique
                     
                          Lucas Spearing
                              Gerrard
            Suarez                           Bellamy
                             Carroll

Reina

Johnson     Coates     Agger     Enrique

Lucas     Gerrard

Henderson

Suarez                           Downing

Carroll

That'll do me and that'll do 3 points.

Ohh god not the owl man!

His hoot can do mysterious things...

                            Reina

Johnson     Skrtel     Agger     Enrique

                Lucas     Gerrard

                    Henderson

      Suarez     Carroll     Downing

Subs: Doni, Kelly, Carragher, Spearing, Adam, Kuyt, Bellamy

3-1 victory to us.

Will be missing this game, even though I'll only be a few miles from the stadium come 5:30.

Anything less than a win would be a disaster.

Nice 4-1 win for us redmen come-on  lets start banging these chances in now YNWA IKKWT JFT96

Must start taking our chances better if we are going to convert this game into a win, I'll go with a 2-1 win to the Redmen.

wont be easy, woy will have them firing for this again.  but play football against this lot and they wont touch us, just dont get into their battle.. we owe them for last season (and woy for that 6 months or so of sh*t)
Andys gotta start, the only way we can judge him is if he has a run, and there were signs in the stoke games the other night..
i personally would like to see a shift in formation to a 4-2-3-1 and something like this

              Reina
Kelly Carra Agger enrique

     lucas         adam

Downing  Gerrard  Suarez

               carroll

but think kenny will stick to 4-4-2/4-4-1-1 and we will see this

                  Reina
Johnson Carra Skrtel Enrique

         lucas      adam

henderson                downing

                   gerrard

                        suarez

either way get it down and hurt them on the floor, they wont live with quick pass and move

think it will be harder than imagined though.. 1-2 .  come on reds

Shane Long is out injured apart from Odemwingie they are crap. Hope to see us go for the jugular against Woys boys 3 points.

Kenny must be desperate to beat these after the last time.

It's about time we get our payback from last season.

Would be nice to beat him away as well, epsecially since how his away record with us was so dreadful.

Hope to see him rubbing his face when the score shows WBA 0-5 Liverpool at half time.

Big boost that Long is injured, think he's a good player. WBA won't have the firepower to break our defence 0-2

The offal is saying that Luiz will be given to the last minute. I really hope he plays and runs rings around that dirty b***ard Olsson and that tw*t Scharner who both battered Carroll there last season.
   Reina
Kelly Carragher Agger Enrique
  Adam  Lucas
     Gerrard
Downing  Suarez  Bellamy

                    Reina
      Kelly Carra Agger Enrique
                   Lucas
            Gerrard Adam
         Maxi Carroll Downing

                       Reina
Johnson   Carragher    Agger       Enrique

                       Lucas
           Gerrard         Henderson
Kuyt               Carroll              Bellamy

The 3 strikers are mobile as Henderson and Gerrard-Lucas bossing the midfield.  3-0 just for confidence and 2 goals for Carroll please.
Gerrard and Henderson can get the best out of Andy I think.

Im predicting we hand out our first twa*ing of the season. 5 or 6 nil here
