89'
Substitution
Hal Robson-Kanu (on). Jay Rodriguez (off). (West Bromwich Albion)
89'
RONDON
A characteristically wonderful set-piece delivery from Chris Brunt finds Rondon in the box and the big Venezuelan makes no mistake, heading past Karius to send the Baggies fans into raptures!
87'
KITCHEN SINK
Loris Karius makes a great save to keep Liverpool in the lead. West Brom are throwing everything at Liverpool now, can they find a breakthrough?
84'
Substitution
Dejan Lovren (on). Mohamed Salah (off). (Liverpool)
84'
SALAH SUBBED
Mo Salah is finally hooked, with Lovren on to replace him. He got his goal, as you'd expect, and will now look to rest up ahead of the upcoming clash with Roma.
80'
GAME ON?
It was a messy goal but West Brom won't care. There is some uncertainty as to who actually bagged it after a goalmouth scramble but it hardly matters to the Baggies who have given themselves a platform to build on now in the hopes of getting an unlikely result here.
79'
Goal
Jake Livermore (West Bromwich Albion)
78'
GOOOAAALLL!!!
Jake Livermore makes it 2-1! Is there a chance West Brom could snatch something?
77'
SUB
Oliver Burke is on in place of Kieran Gibbs. No sign of any further changes for Liverpool at the minute.
76'
Substitution
Oliver Burke (on). Kieran Gibbs (off). (West Bromwich Albion)
73'
SALAH
A long ball is flicked on by Roberto Firmino, Oxlade and Salah exhange a one-two and the Egyptian goes one closer to that elusive Premier League scoring record with a super finish. He really is quite something this fellow.
72'
Goal
Mohamed Salah. Assist by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Liverpool)
72'
GOOOAAALLL!!!
Mo Salah bags his 31st goal of the Premier League season and makes it 2-0 to Liverpool!
71'
Substitution
Jonny Evans (on). James McClean (off). (West Bromwich Albion)
90'
FULL-TIME
What a game that was. West Brom played well for the full 90 minutes but looked to have been undone by moments of quality from the visitors. However, the spirit they showed to drag themselves back into the game was quite something and you have to wonder had they disposed of the services of Alan Pardew earlier, could they have stayed up? Thanks for joining us today.
90'
FRANTIC
We're into the final seconds now, it's a frantic affair.
90'
ALL OR NOTHING
It's all or nothing stuff from West Brom now as they pile forward, throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Liverpool here, cheered on by their supporters.
90'
STOPPAGE TIME
West Brom have four minutes of added time to snatch an unlikely but much needed win.
70'
STRANGE
This could be the result that, depending on others around the league, finally relegates West Brom. Strangely, they don't seem to be really going for it here, as evidenced by Jonny Evans' introduction in place of James McClean.
69'
Yellow Card
Alberto Moreno (Liverpool)
69'
BOOKING
Matt Phillips is taken down by Alberto Moreno and the Spaniard receives the first yellow card of the afternoon.
66'
Substitution
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (on). Sadio Mane (off). (Liverpool)
88'
Goal
Salomon Rondon. Assist by Chris Brunt (West Bromwich Albion)
88'
GOOOAAALLL!!!
It is very dangerous indeed! West Brom have an equaliser and it's Salomon Rondon!
88'
BURKE FOULED
Oliver Burke bursts forward and is brought down in a dangerous position for Liverpool. This could be their chance to equalise.
66'
Substitution
Roberto Firmino (on). Danny Ings (off). (Liverpool)
4'
Goal
Danny Ings. Assist by Georginio Wijnaldum (Liverpool)
65'
SUBS
Quite a headscratcher here, as Ings and Mane depart to be replaced by Oxlade-Chamberlain and Firmino. Jurgen Klopp clearly doesn't want to risk losing this game.
63'
NO CHANGES
The hour mark passes and still no changes are forthcoming for Liverpool. They do have subs warming up down on the sidelines and it surely won't be long before Liverpool withdraw their heavy hitters.
56'
CHIPPY
It's a chippy start to the second period, with both sides exchanging niggling fouls. West Brom really don't look a bad side at the moment but they're not offering enough going forward.
51'
NO PENALTY
A few moments ago, Craig Dawson was involved in a challenge in his own box and looked to be guilty of a foul. Some strong penalty appeals were heard and dismissed by Stuart Atwell but on second viewing it looks as though Liverpool should certainly have had a penalty. A lucky escape for Dawson and West Brom.
48'
NO CHANGES
A lack of changes at the half for either side is slightly perplexing when you consider the importance of upcoming fixtures for Liverpool. Not many people would have predicted Salah's involvement today with Roma on the horizon.
46'
UNDERWAY
Here we go again at The Hawthorns.
45'
HALF-TIME
The half-time whistle goes and it's 1-0 to Liverpool at the break.
45'
HALF APPROACHING
We are entering the final stages of the first half now. Can West Brom find a way back in before the break? They'll have one minute of added time to do so.
6'
GREAT START
That is Danny Ings' first goal since 2015 and what a relief for him. Superb work from Mane helped to create the chance and the former Bournemouth man finished unerringly. West Brom and manager Darren Moore will not be best pleased with their start.
42'
SAVE
Danny Ings has a chance to make it 2-0 and double his tally for the day but a super save from Ben Foster denies him and Liverpool win a corner.
38'
CHANCE
Jay Rodriguez misses a huge chance to equalise, failing to get a vital touch on a McClean centre with the goal gaping. West Brom have the momentum now as we approach half-time.
37'
PRESSURE
West Brom are piling on the pressure now with a few close calls from set-pieces in quick succession. Can they find a way back into the game?
34'
CORNERS
West Brom have their second corner of the game following an unforced Joe Gomez error. It comes to naught but you do get the feeling that set-pieces are West Brom's best chance of getting something out of this game.
30'
ESCAPE
Salomon Rondon escapes a booking after an agricultural challenge on Danny Ings. With almost half an hour gone, Liverpool are on top and good value for their lead.
26'
FREE-KICK
Mo Salah whips a free-kick over the wall and narrowly wide of Ben Foster's goal. The West Brom keeper looked a little worried there and didn't seem to have it covered.
24'
HEADER OVER
Danny Ings heads for goal but his effort floats harmlessly over the bar after a decent cross from James Milner.
19'
QUANDARY
West Brom have a quandary to deal with here in trying to get back into the game - do they attack and risk being caught on the break? Or sit back and hope to find some joy on the counter themselves?
15'
GOMEZ
Matt Phillips crosses towards McClean at the back post but Gomez is there with a timely intervention for Liverpool.
12'
SALAH CHANCE
Mo Salah has a chance but his lofted effort is deflected behind for a corner.
10'
ATMOSPHERE
Liverpool's supporters are creating a cracking atmosphere inside The Hawthorns, and who can blame them. Their side have made a lightning start today and have given them plenty to shout about all season.
4'
GOOOAAALLL!!!
The first corner of the game goes Liverpool's way. It is eventually cleared away but only for another one. From the second set-piece, Danny Ings opens the scoring!
3'
HEIGHT
West Brom have lined up with a definite height advantage today, the average height of their front players a lofty six foot two inches.
