BIG MATCH FACTS

Liverpool are now unbeaten in 50 home league games (W40 D10) – this is only the third time any side has gone 50+ home matches without defeat in English top-flight history, after Chelsea (86 between 2004 and 2008) and the Reds themselves (63 between 1978 and 1980).

At Anfield Liverpool have now won 17 consecutive matches in the Premier League. Only Man Utd (19 ending in October 2011) and Man City (20 ending in March 2012) have had longer home winning runs in the competition’s history.

Wolves have lost each of their last six league meetings with Liverpool, managing to score only one goal in this run while conceding 13.

The Reds end 2019 having earned 98 points from 37 Premier League matches. Their ratio of 2.65 points per game is the second highest ever achieved by a team in a single year in the competition, behind only Chelsea’s 2.66 in 2005.

This was Wanderers’ first defeat in eight away league outings (W3 D4) and was the first time they failed to score on the road in the Premier League since their goalless draw at Leicester on the opening day of the season.

Liverpool’s Sadio Mane is only the second player to be directly involved in 30 Premier League goals during 2019 (24 goals, 6 assists), after Jamie Vardy (34).

Midfielder Adam Lallana assisted a Premier League goal for Liverpool for the first time since December 2016 against Manchester City, two years and 363 days ago.

Jordan Henderson made his 308th Premier League appearance since the start of 2010, confirming that the Reds midfielder has played in more matches than any other player in the competition this decade.
