Liverpool host Sam Allardyce’s West Bromwich Albion on Sunday afternoon – 4.30pm kick off UK time – in what will be the former Blackpool, Notts County, Bolton, Newcastle, Blackburn, West Ham, Sunderland, England, Crystal Palace and Everton manager’s second match in charge of the Baggies since replacing Slaven Bilić.
Bilić led his side to a 1-1 draw at Manchester City but was promptly sacked, due to a record of one win in 12 league games, with just four of those ending in draws. Allardyce’s first game in charge was a 0-3 defeat to Aston Villa at the Hawthorns.
