West Bromwich Albion s long stint in the Premier League is on the verge of coming to an end, and while their win against Manchester United was impressive, it was merely a stay of execution. On the other hand, Liverpool are one of the most exciting teams in Europe right now as they attempt to become the first English side since 2012 to win the Champions League.
West Brom
West Brom should have a nothing to lose mentality at this stage, because everyone is expecting them to go down. If they go out there and play with the kind of confidence they had against United last weekend, then there s every chance they could secure another surprise result.

Leicester City s players want to see Craig Shakespeare given the manager s job beyond the end of the season, says Danny Drinkwater.
A pair of 3-1 wins in the Premier League, over Liverpool and Hull City, helped Shakespeare land Claudio Ranieri s old job until May, with Sevilla looming in the Champions League as his first test since assuming full-time control.

But Shakespeare, who began a second spell at the King Power Stadium in 2011, appears to have the full backing of his dressing room.
It s a great appointment, a good fit, mi…

Sometimes, when you have been a manager at a big club like that, to go to a rival is something I wouldn t do so that wouldn t interest me.
But it is a great club an…

Why criticism in Spain? Do you know? I know, the Portuguese said. Be…

Then we carried on from there. They scored a goal but we didn t change anything. We carried on playing an…
