West Bromwich Albion captain Chris Brunt is aiming to snap their form slump tonight against Liverpool.

The Northern Ireland international is confident Albion can emulate previous years and have a strong finale to the campaign.

Brunt said: "We are going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment but, for a club our size and for the money we've got and spent, we are still ninth in the league, 34 points.

"We are moving in the right direction but the last few weeks we haven't been great. We know that ourselves and know where we've got to improve to get it right.

"December and January is a pretty hectic period and it's one where we have tended to struggle a bit in the last few seasons and then picked up in February.

"Hopefully that will be the case again - starting on Monday. Our squad has been really stretched over the last few months, a lot of games and a few injuries have really hurt us."
