Behind Enemy Lines: Big Sam in to firefight against relegation with West Brom - but Reds in no mood to share Christmas joy!

Ahead of the this afternoon's match at Anfield, we bring you all you need to know about West Brom. With Sam Allardyce newly appointed to replace Slaven Bilic at the Hawthorns, Guy Clarke checks in with Birmingham Live's West Bromwich Albion reporter Joe Chapman to get the lowdown on the Baggies ahead of their visit to Merseyside. Why sack Bilic? Why appoint Allardyce? And who should Liverpool be wary of prior to kick-off? As West Brom battle against the drop we take a look at the run of form that led to Bilic's sacking and get an understanding of how big a task Allardyce has signed up for - with comparisons drawn to one former Liverpool boss in particular!
