Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Alan Pardew’s West Bromwich Albion will face each other at Anfield in the FA Cup this weekend.

Michael Owen has predicted on Betvictor.com that West Bromwich Albion will lose to Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup this weekend.

West Brom will take on Premier League rivals Liverpool away from home at Anfield on Saturday evening.

Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Owen has backed Jurgen Klopp’s side will win against Alan Pardew’s team.

Owen wrote on Betvictor.com: “Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 19 home games in all competitions and I expect them to bounce back against the Baggies after their disappointing loss to Swansea on Monday.

“Albion got a draw at Goodison in the Premier League last weekend, but the Reds are likely to be a different proposition although the sides played out a goalless draw in the league at Anfield last month.”

A footnote added: “Tip: Liverpool halftime/full time at 4/5.”

Liverpool have a much better team than West Brom do, and the Merseyside outfit will head into the match against the Baggies as favourites.

If manager Klopp fields his best team, then the Reds should win the FA Cup fourth-round tie with ease.

The Anfield faithful will hope for the team to go on a cup run, and winning the prestigious cup competition will be something great for the club.

One should not be surprised if West Brom do not take the FA Cup fourth-round tie seriously, as manager Pardew’s side have the small matter of escaping the drop to the Championship at the end of the season to consider.
