Liverpool travel to Newcastle for Sunday’s Premier League clash at St James Park (kick-off 4.30pm). We crunch the numbers ahead of the big game…
- The Reds are aiming to win three consecutive league matches at St James’ Park for the first time ever
- 13 Newcastle players have been sent off in Premier League matches against Liverpool – the second highest tally in Premier League history after Everton’s 15 against Liverpool.
- The Reds are unbeaten in the last 13 matches. They’ve fallen behind in five of those games, but have gained nine points from losing positions.
- Liverpool have won only six of their last 20 away league fixtures.
- Last season they lost four of their five away matches against the other teams that finished in the top six, with the only exception a 2-0 win at St James’ Park.
- Mo Salah has scored or assisted in each of Liverpool’s last eight league matches.
- Luis Diaz could become only the fourth player to score in the Reds’ first three Premier League matches of a season after Robbie Fowler in 1994-95, Daniel Sturridge in 2013-14 and Sadio Mane in 2017-18.
