Liverpool vs. West Brom Live Stream: Watch League Cup Football
Liverpool begins the defense of their League Cup title today as they travel to face a confident West Bromwich Albion side at the Hawthorns.
For Liverpool's manager Brendan Rodgers a positive result will go a long way to settle Reds supporters anxiety who have been very vocal given that his side has not recorded a victory yet in the Premier league, drawing two and losing three which is good enough to place them 18th in the table.
Liverpool has missed the finishing ability of Fabio Borini who is out due to injury. That places the scoring responsibly squarely on Luis Suarez who has put 30 shots on frame but has only netted two so far in the campaign. Rodgers could help the Uruguayan international by placing 18-year-old Samed Yesil on the top line.
