Sam Allardyce vows to hurt Liverpool and ruin their Champions League qualification chance.
The Baggies manager has urged his side to hurt Liverpool in their critical pursuit of a top-four finish.
Liverpool drew 1-1 against West Brom last December that kickstarted their run of five winless games in December.
The Baggies surprisingly have an impressive record against the top Premier League sides and the Reds have nonetheless struggled against the teams at the lower end of the table.
“We need to try and expose the areas where Liverpool can be exposed, the areas we have seen this season,” said Allardyce (via the Liverpool Echo).
“We also need to start by stopping their front line because it was red-hot at Manchester United on Thursday.
“Everyone saw up at Anfield that if you get at Liverpool at the right time, play the right pass, make the right run and execute promising situations, then you can hurt them.
“I hope we can do that on Sunday and get a positive result.”
“The challenge of playing against the big boys has always been well received by the players,” added Allardyce.
“You look at Liverpool away, Manchester United at home and Chelsea away. There’s been some terrific performances against the top teams in the Premier League.
“I hope the lads take up that challenge again on Sunday and give Liverpool a real game.
“Every game is there to win in this league if you apply yourself correctly. All the players need to make sure they play their best and give it all they’ve got, otherwise it’ll be very difficult.”
