Fiery derby awaits West Brom's Allardyce on Premier League return

The Hindu  

New West Bromwich Albion manager Sam Allardyce will have a baptism by fire in his first game in charge after 19 months when it hosts Aston Villa in the West Midlands derby at The Hawthorns on Sunday. Allardyce, the first managerial change at a Premier League club this season, has the testing task of keeping intact his record of never being relegated from the Premier League, with West Brom second-bottom in the table. With more than 500 top-flight games across seven clubs on his CV, Allardyce is a master of survival and has a proven record of pulling struggling teams out of a hole, but West Brom may be his biggest challenge yet. League leader Liverpool travels to Crystal Palace where Jurgen Klopp has a 100% record while Sheffield United, without a win so far this season, visits Brighton & Hove Albion.
