Rafa Benitez today warned his players to expect a real scrap on Sunday against a West Brom team he believes could yet survive in the Barclays Premier League.
The gaffer is aware his side could seal the Baggies' fate this weekend depending on results for Hull and Newcastle.
However, Benitez knows West Brom will give everything they've got to win three points and keep alive hopes of a great escape.
"It is always difficult when playing a team facing relegation," the Kop boss told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"They put more passion in, maybe. It's a massive difference to go to the Championship after playing in the Premier League.
"It will be a tough game for us. They are fighting.
"Why can't they stay up? The thing is, we have to win - that makes it more difficult for them. But anything can happen in football - the difference is not too big."
