Ben Foster: Clean sheet will act as confidence boost for West Brom
West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster believes that gaining a clean sheet against Liverpool will give Albion confidence heading into another testing encounter, this time against Manchester United.
Alan Pardew's side managed to frustrate Liverpool at Anfield in the 0-0 draw, in which Dominic Solanke saw a late effort on goal ruled out for handball.
Foster says that locking out the Reds can only act as a boost in confidence for Albion, especially when coming up against Jose Mourinho's side.
"When we saw the team sheet and they [Liverpool] had the big ones up front, to come away with a clean sheet is no mean feat." he said.
"They are scary at times. They are up there with Man City in terms of the pace and quality they have up front,"
"There are times when they are breaking on you and there are two, three, four runners going off at all angles and speeds, and you're thinking, especially as a goalie, 'Oh, here we go'.
"There will be a lot of teams who cost a lot more money and on bigger wages than us that come away having conceded quite a few goals.
"We can take the confidence from the night and there is a little bit of momentum to take into the Manchester United game."
Whilst the result will be one to be proud of, it still continues the Baggies current win-less run which has stretched to 16 games in all competitions.
That run is the longest of consecutive matches without victory in nearly 140 years of Albion existing.
"We haven't won since the second game of the season - it's been a while," Foster added.
