End of match
-
94'FT: West Brom 2 - 2 Liverpool - A remarkable turnaround from West Brom sees the clash end 2-2. Liverpool had looked comfortable all game, but complacency in the last 15 minutes cost them the three points, as two late set-piece goals from Livermore and Rondon cancelled out Mo Salah's record-equalling 31st goal of the season.
-
90'Four minutes of added time to be played.

88'GOAL! West Brom! Rondon! The big man finally heads one home! Liverpool give away a needless free-kick down the left wing, and Brunt whips in a crossed free-kick. Rondon gets in front of his man and heads it past Karius to equalise, much to the delight of the home fans. Is a three goal comeback on the cards?
Substitution
at Liverpool
-
83'Off comes key man Salah, as Klopp protects him for the Roma clash. The forward is replaced by Dejan Lovren, meaning Liverpool now have five at the back.
Goaaaaaal!

79'GOAL! West Brom! Livermore! Or maybe it's not all over yet! Evans put a cross in, which was headed away, then flicked on by Jay Rodriguez. An initial shot from Dawson was blocked by Karius, but Livermore turned the rebound in from close range to make it 1-2. Can they pull it back?
Goaaaaaal!

72'GOAL! Liverpool! Salah! Even on a slow day you can't keep that man quiet! The Egyptian makes it 0-2 with a lovely chipped finish over Foster after Oxlade-Chamberlain played him through in the box. He's now on 31 league goals this season, with three games remaining. Incredible.
Yellow card
a Liverpool
-
69'Moreno is shown yellow after he scythed through Phillips down the right wing.
-
64'And it's actually a double change. Goalscorer Danny Ings comes off along with Mane, while Firmino and Oxlade-Chamberlain come on from the bench.
-
63'West Brom are defending well, and Liverpool are not their usual free-flowing self here. They will look to limit Liverpool's lead to one goal and then hit them late on. Roberto Firmino looks like he's preparing to come on from the bench.
-
56'Danny Ings is fuming, after Hegazi appeared to punch the English forward after throwing him to the ground. Ings gets in the referee's face, and the official is forced to have a word with him. It doesn't seem that the ref saw the punch, which wasn't powerful, but was a potentially bookable offence nonetheless.
-
50'McClean gets the chance to shoot from 20 yards out. He gets over it and hits a powerful low shot, but it's wide.
-
47'Danny Ings wants a penalty after he is brought down off the ball by Craig Dawson. The ref says no, however. I've seen them given!
-
46'We're back underway at the Hawthorns!
-
45'HT: West Brom 0 - 1 Liverpool - Liverpool go into the tunnel at half-time 0-1 up, after an early goal from Danny Ings put them ahead. West Brom have grown into the game, winning a few good chances from corners, but have been unable to find a reply.
-
42'Should be 0-2! Danny Ings hits a golden chance straight at Foster after a lucky deflection from Salah put the forward one-on-one. He should have scored his second, but the keeper did well.
-
37'CLOSE! Livermore puts a ball in at the back post and McClean's shot goes right past Karius' left post. Jay Rodriguez was in the box and any touch from the forward would have led to a goal. A close call for Liverpool that.
-
34'Decent series of attacks from West Brom, who are a threat in the air with players such as Dawson, Rondon and Brunt. A cross comes in from a corner and Liverpool fail to clear, but no West Brom player is able to get a head on it.
-
29'Rondon is penalised after flying into two late challenges on Ings. Not very elegant from the big man up top. No card given, but the ref has a stern word with the forward.
-
26'Salah wins a foul after being restrained by Hegazi. He takes the subsequent set play, and his shot is just right of the post. Close.
-
24'Ings get a good chance to head past Foster, but there's a bit too much on the delivery and Ings heads high.
-
22'Salomon Rondon looks the biggest threat for West Brom here, and he gets a chance on goal. His shot is scuffed, though and it's easy for Karius.
-
15'An important header at the back post from Joe Gomez prevents a free shot for McClean, after a nice whipped ball from Phillips.
-
12'Jake Livermore puts in a vital block to divert a Mo Salah shot just wide of the post, after the Egyptian forward jinked past compatriot Hegazi.
-
10'Virgil Van Dijk looks to be in a bit of pain after he took a stamp to the ankle from big man Rondon. He gets up gingerly, but seems to be running it off.
Goaaaaaal!

4'GOAL! Liverpool! Ings! James Milner orchestrates a series of chances for Liverpool, and on their third try the visitors take an early lead. Milner lays off to Mane down the left wing, and the Senegalese winger hits a low ball into the box. It finds its way through a crowded penalty area to Danny Ings, who puts it past Foster to make it 0-1. Danny Ings is delighted, he has had a rough time over the last year with injuries.

PRVWHello and welcome today's Premier League early-kick off! Off the back of a shock win over Manchester United last weekend, 20th placed West Brom host Liverpool at the Hawthorns today, in the very faint hope of avoiding relegation. Liverpool have one eye on Tuesday's Champions League semi-final against Roma, but are not yet assured of a top four spot and will also be hungry for three points.
