Allardyce to show no mercy

Sam Allardyce has ordered Blackburn to take advantage of Liverpool's slump in form when they meet this weekend.
Rovers head to Anfield on Sunday knowing they are unlikely to play Roy Hodgson's Reds at a better time, following the Reds' dismal start to the season.
Liverpool are second-bottom in the league and are without a win in seven games in all competitions and Allardyce is keen to keep the pressure on former Blackburn boss Hodgson in their Premier League fixture.
"Liverpool are below us and how often do you play Liverpool when they are below you? Very, very rarely," said the Rovers chief.
"We have to take advantage of this situation while there's an opportunity."
After seeing Liverpool embroiled in a drawn-out takeover saga over the last few weeks, Allardyce has compared the Merseysiders' to last season's basement boys Portsmouth.
And the Rovers boss believes the off-field trials and tribulations have impacted on performances on the pitch for the Reds.
He added: "All the pressure of the takeover and the money situation has obviously affected the team.
"Just like it affected Portsmouth last year, who were relegated."
