- Liverpool could keep six clean sheets in their opening eight matches of a league campaign for the first time.
- The Reds have conceded the fewest goals (two), kept the most clean sheets (five), and have the lowest expected goals against figure (5.2) of any top-flight side this season.
- Mo Salah has scored only four goals in 18 appearances for Liverpool against Chelsea in all competitions, and none in his last five.
