  • Mohamed Salah is set to break yet another record

    Mohamed Salah is just one goal away from equaling Luis Suarez’s record 31-goals in 2013-14 – the most by a Liverpool player in a single Premier League campaign.

    We take a look at all the stats ahead of Liverpool’s trip to bottom-placed West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon.

  • Liverpool are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League meetings with the Baggies (W4 D5), with the reverse fixture at Anfield ending 0-0.
    • After losing their first nine Premier League meetings with Liverpool by an aggregate score of 0-25, West Brom have lost just five of the subsequent 14 (W4 D5 L5).
    • However, West Brom did win their last meeting of any kind, winning 3-2 in an FA Cup fourth round tie at Anfield in January.
    • West Brom have failed to score in seven of their 11 Premier League home games against Liverpool, but have picked up at least a point every time they’ve found the net (W2 D2 L0 when scoring, D1 L6 when not).
    • The Reds have lost two of their last three Premier League games against sides starting that day bottom of the table (W1 L2, all vs Swansea), including their last one in January. The last time they’ve lost two games against bottom placed sides in the same season was in 2010-11 (vs Wolves and West Ham).
    • The Baggies have scored in each of their last seven home league games, their longest run since a run of eight in January 2016. However, they’ve won just one of these (W1 D2 L4).
    • Darren Moore has already equaled Alan Pardew’s total Premier League wins (1 in 18 games) as WBA manager in just his second game as boss (1).
    • Mohamed Salah (30) is just one goal away from equaling Luis Suarez’s 31-goal season in 2013-14 – the most by a Liverpool player in a single Premier League campaign.
    • Roberto Firmino has been directly involved in four goals in his last four games against West Brom in all competitions (two goals, two assists), including both scoring and assisting in his side’s 3-2 defeat the last time the sides met.
    • The pairings of Salah/Firmino and Salah/Mane have each combined for seven Premier League goals this season, just three short of the Premier League record for one duo in a single season for Liverpool (10 – Fowler/Collymore in 1995-96).
