West Brom boss Sam Allardyce feels they're capable of a result against Liverpool this weekend.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds have won all seven of their home league games this term, and not lost one since Crystal Palace – managed at the time by Allardyce – beat them 2-1 in April 2017.

The 66-year-old, appointed as Baggies boss last week, said: “The West Brom fans will have some hope, I hope. Certainly I do. But the rest of the football world would say this is going to be an easy game for Liverpool.

“So let's have a siege mentality, let's go out there and say 'right, we will show you, we're going to go out and make life extremely difficult for you, we are going to do our best to try to get a result'."

He added: “Let's try as best we possibly can. I'm not saying we're likely to win with that record (Liverpool have at home in the league), but we can get a result.

“If we miraculously got a victory against Liverpool at Anfield, which can happen at any time in this league, it would be a wonderful achievement by the players."
