Albion have a Friend for their attempt to topple Liverpool.

Kevin Friend is the ref for Saturday's clash against the Premier League leaders at the Amex.

Friend has been at the Amex three times already this season - and Albion triumphed on each occasion.

He was in charge against Manchester United, West Ham and Crystal Palace, dismissing Shane Duffy in the latter.

That is the only red card issued by Friend in the Premier League since March 2017.

Albion did not fare too well against Liverpool the last time Friend had the fixture.

That was at Anfield at the end of last season, when they were beaten 4-0.
