Defensive duo to miss Albion test

Manager Brendan Rodgers is set to make changes as Liverpool begin their League Cup defence at West Brom on Wednesday.

Defenders Martin Kelly and Daniel Agger (both knee) were injured in Sunday's defeat to Manchester United and have been ruled out - the former for several months - while forward Fabio Borini is unlikely to be risked after sustaining an ankle problem. Brad Jones will replace Spanish star Jose Reina in goal while some other fringe players will be given a chance. Rodgers' team will be aiming to gain a little revenge on the Baggies after losing 3-0 to them at the Hawthorns on the opening day of the Premier League season.
