400th win of his managerial
career at Newcastle United
last month. This will be his
29th game managing a
team against Liverpool. He's
previously taken charge of
Bolton, Newcastle, Blackburn,
West Ham, Sunderland and
Crystal Palace against the
Reds, winning six, drawing
seven and losing 15. His
Everton side drew here in the
Premier League last month.The manager: Sam Allardyce
