Team News: Mario Balotelli starts for Liverpool in West Bromwich Albion clash

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has made three changes to his side for their Premier League clash against West Bromwich Albion.

Glen Johnson, Jordon Ibe and Mario Balotelli all come into the starting lineup from their FA Cup semi-final defeat to Aston Villa at Wembley last week.
