text: Head coach Tony Pulis insists West Brom will relish their underdog tag as they start their nightmare run-in. The Baggies host Liverpool on Saturday eight points above the Barclays Premier League relegation zone.

West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis believes his side can rise to the challenge of facing the top teams . West Brom beat Crystal Palace 2-0 last Saturday to move them eight points clear of the relegation zone . But Pulis will embrace their challenge against the big hitters as the Baggies try to reach his 40 points survival target. 'We can't be below 100 per cent, not just physically but mentally,' he said, with Albion on 36 points. 'Every game that we play in now we will be the underdog and I've always enjoyed that. 'As for the three points last weekend, I was most concerned about (restoring) the confidence in the players.' Liverpool come to The Hawthorns after their disappointing display in the 2-1 FA Cup semi final defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday. And Pulis insisted they must still be respected despite their slip. 'You have to give Villa credit. They were very, very good. They caused them lots of problems,' he said.
