Jürgen Klopp will be seeking an immediate league response from his Liverpool side following their shock 2-0 defeat at St James’ Park last Sunday. They will be without Daniel Sturridge after he strained his hamstring at Newcastle. However, the in-form playmaker Philippe Coutinho could return to the starting lineup following his cameo from the bench in the Europa League against an Albion side sure to concede possession as they look to make it four consecutive league games without defeat.
