All the best stats you need to know ahead of LFC v Watford

Posted by

Liverpool host Watford tonight at Anfield looking to maintain first position in the Premier League.

Second-placed Manchester City face West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium – also an 8pm kick-off in the UK – but Jurgen Klopp and the players can only focus on themselves.

Ahead of the Reds’ match, these are the best of the pre-game statistics courtesy of LiverpoolFC.com.

Mo Salah will become the fastest Reds man to hit 50 Premier League goals for the club should he score against Watford – he notched four times against the Hornets in this fixture last season, and has scored once or more in each of his last three matches against them, including at Vicarage Road in November.

Sadio Mane can beat his best ever goalscoring record for the club in the Premier League if he scores twice tonight. He netted 13 in his first season after signing from Southampton and has 12 so far this campaign – with 11 games to go.

The omens for goals are good: there has never been a goalless draw in the league between the two sides, and there have been 23 meetings so far in total. Liverpool have also scored 15 times in their last four home games against the Hornets.

Whoever gets the goals, the Reds simply have to get three points in the title race – that would be the perfect scenario ahead of the Merseyside derby.
