With Liverpool absent from the Champions League, Tony Pulis says West Brom's next opponents have an advantage in the title race.
West Brom manager Tony Pulis believes Liverpool's absence from European competition could prove crucial in the Premier League title race.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds have made a fine start to the season and sit two points off the top of the table.
However, the other three sides in the league's top four positions all have Champions League commitments, leading Pulis - whose West Brom side travel to Anfield on Saturday - to conclude that Liverpool have a clear advantage.
