He's there, he's ready - has Webster's impressive return given boss a decision?
Adam Webster has given Albion a defensive decision to make against the new champions.
The centre-back was an impressive contributor to the 2-0 win at Wolves on his first outing for six weeks.
Webster was called in on the eve of the match after Lewis Dunk withdrew with what is being described as a minor injury.
Dunk is expected to be available for Liverpool's visit on Monday, by which time Albion will know whether eighth place will secure European football.
But Webster has now played a major part in six clean sheets since January.
Head coach Fabian Hurzeler said: 'Adam is always there for the team.
'No matter how many injuries he had this season. So far he was always ready to perform.
'That is not easy when you don't really get into the rhythm.
'I am very happy that he is in my team and always shows personality, always big character.

'Lewis is injured. We had this injury (on Friday) in the training session.
'From one second to another he knows he needs to play the next day in the Premier League.
'And he's there, he's ready. I don't know how he is doing it but it is just impressive and therefore I am really happy for him.'

Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool star's next move
What is Robertson's next move? Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the left-back's situation. He said: "We don't expect Andy Robertson to go to Atletico Madrid anymore. Advertisement "Andy Robertson was a candidate, a strong candidate, for Atletico Madrid. They had concrete conversations, then the player was taking his time to decide his future, also out of respect with Liverpool, where he's still loving the club, the fanbase and all the people at the club. "... [We are] waiting to see what he will decide for his future." As such, the defender merely took too long for Atletico's liking, and so the Spanish club moved on. Whether the idea of moving to Atletico is something that Robertson was on board with, we don't know, but he was assessing his options, and it was not a straightforward decision. Advertisement Earlier in June, the full-back said his contract talks with the club were 'good' ahead of potentially entering the final year of his deal and he added that he was looking forward to preseason once he had spent a few weeks on holiday with his family after a long and tiring title winning season. However, since then, Milos Kerkez has been signed and the Hungarian admitted his admiration for Robertson, hailing him as 'the best left-back that played in the Premier League', in his interview via the club website, adding that it was important to be playing alongside a player with such experience. As such, many will be hoping that Robertson sees out his deal, becomes a mentor for Kerkez for the season, and filling in the gaps when required to, before getting a historic send-off from the Anfield faithful in May 2026 when he can then find somewhere to finish off his career before he retires. But a lot of conversations with Liverpool and other clubs will be had before we can feel confident in those events happening and while he won't go to Atletico Madrid, he could move elsewhere.

Ben Doak teases Liverpool injury comeback as pre-season starts early for Scotland ace
Scotland star Ben Doak is gearing up for a comeback this summer after a challenging year. The former Celtic youngster was enjoying a fruitful loan stint at Middlesbrough last season until a hamstring injury in late January sidelined him for the rest of the campaign. Advertisement This occurred just days after his parent club Liverpool reportedly rejected £15million offers from Crystal Palace for the speedy winger, who made a splash on the Scotland scene last year in Nations League A. READ MORE: Hibs land 'one of Scotland's most eye-catching players' as David Gray lauds latest signing READ MORE: Mega Scott McTominay transfer approach thrown out by Napoli as Italian champions make stance clear Doak famously sustained an injury ahead of Euro 2024, causing him to miss the finals in Germany. His absence was keenly felt during the Nations League relegation play-off defeat to Greece in March, which resulted in Steve Clarke's team dropping from the competition's top tier. Advertisement However, in a video posted on social media, the 19 year old has begun his pre-season training early in hopes of making a strong start when he returns to the Premier League champions next month, where he aims to impress Anfield manager Arne Slot, reports the Daily Record. In the brief video, Doak can be seen taking a shot at goal during an Empire Performance Elite session in Portugal, alongside fellow young Scottish prospects Dylan Reid and Charlie McArthur. Since transferring from Parkhead in 2022, Doak has made 12 first-team appearances for Liverpool, but his long-term future in the red half of Merseyside remains uncertain. Advertisement In addition to interest from Palace during the winter window, Doak was also linked with a sensational move to city rivals Everton earlier this year, with fellow countryman David Moyes now back at the helm at the new Bramley Moore Dock Stadium. Should Doak make a surprising switch to the other side of the Merseyside divide, he would be the first player to do so in 33 years. While several players including Rangers target Conor Coady and England hero Peter Beardsley have played for both clubs during their careers, the last player to directly transfer from Liverpool to Everton was the late Gary Ablett back in 1992. However, Doak may have been given a potential lifeline at Anfield. Advertisement Italian international Federico Chiesa is expected to depart the Reds this summer after just one season in the north-east of England, where his playing time has been extremely limited. A return to Serie A could be on the cards for the winger, which could subsequently enhance Doak's chances of getting some game time under Slot next season. Liverpool are splurging as they prepare for the defence of their title and broke their transfer record to secure Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz for £116million last week.
