Liverpool host Aston Villa in Saturday’s late game (8pm kick-off).
We crunch the numbers ahead of the Anfield encounter…
- It will be the Reds’ 100th home game against Villa in all competitions (W62 L17).
- Villa’s only win in the past 13 Premier League games was a 7-2 victory at Villa Park in October 2020, with Ollie Watkins scoring a hat-trick.
- The Villans have only taken one point from six Premer League trips to Anfield since a 1-0 win in September 2014.
- Arne Slot has made the best start by any Premier League manager in history, with 14 wins from 16 competitive games in charge.
- Slot is the first Liverpool manager to win 8 of his first 10 top-flight fixtures in charge of the club.
- Liverpool have the best defensive record in the Premier League, although four of their six goals conceded have come in the past three matches.
- Mo Salah will be looking to score in four consecutive Premier League appearances for the first time since a run of seven from August to October 2021.
- Salah has been directly involved in an unsurpassed 12 Premier League goals this season, scoring 7 and providing 5 assists.
