Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 32 home Premier League matches (W23 D9), the longest such run in the division since Manchester City went 37 without defeat between December 2010 and December 2012.

Only Andrew Cole, with 11, and Thierry Henry, with eight, have scored more Premier League goals against Liverpool than Leicester’s Jamie Vardy, who has done so seven times.

Liverpool are looking to win eight consecutive Premier League home matches for the first time since March 2010.
