Slav urges we keep momentum going

Slaven Bilic won’t rush Dimi Payet back into the action but told BT Sports: “He will probably come on.”

The manager said: We are keen to carry on the momentum from the Southapmpton game and we are unbeaten for many games.

“We ended the year in style and we are confident but Liverpool are big opponents and its a big club – a really good club.”

He explained that Payet is on the bench and said: “He will probably come on but we don’t want to rush him back into things.”
