The Croatian manager has struggled this season but when it comes to games against Liverpool, Bilic has a brilliant record to his name. When he was manager of Besiktas, the former West Ham player ousted the Reds from the Europa League round of 32 clash when Brendan Rodgers was at the helm.

West Ham played Liverpool four times last season and were unbeaten in all them and the record read; three wins and a draw. Bilic led West Ham to complete a league double over the Reds last season; their first since the 1963-64 season. The Hammers also defeated Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup last season which needed a replay to find the winner between the two.
