Team News: Philippe Coutinho starts for Liverpool

Philippe Coutinho has been named in Liverpool's starting lineup for their match against West Bromwich Albion at Anfield in the Premier League.

The Brazilian missed the last two league outings, including the 2-0 loss to Newcastle United last weekend, but is fit enough to start after coming off the bench in the Europa League earlier this week.

Jurgen Klopp makes a total of four changes to the side that started the goalless draw with FC Sion on Thursday, with Martin Skrtel, Alberto Moreno and Christian Benteke also recalled.

Meanwhile, there is just one change for the visitors, who shared a 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur last time out.

Stephane Sessegnon was forced off in the first half with a hamstring injury last weekend, so Craig Gardner takes his place in midfield.

Liverpool: Mignolet; Clyne, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno; Can, Milner, Henderson, Lallana; Coutinho, Benteke Subs: Bogdan, Toure, Firmino, Lucas, Allen, Origi, Ibe

West Bromwich Albion: Myhill; Dawson, McAuley, Olsson, Evans; Brunt, Fletcher, Gardner, McClean, Morisson; Rondon Subs: Lindegaard, Chester, Gnabry, McManaman, Berahino, Lambert, Aniichebe
