MATCH FACTS

■■Liverpool have won each of their last seven home Premier League games against Watford by an aggregate scoreline of 24-1; only against Bolton (an ongoing run of 10 starting in March

2003) and Newcastle (a run of 8 between March 1995 - March 2002) have the Reds embarked on a longer winning streak against an opponent at Anfield in the competition. ■■Liverpool have won 10 consecutive Premier League games, becoming just the second side to embark on such a run on five separate occasions after Man City (also 5). ■■Watford have lost 13 of their 14 Premier League away games against sides starting the day in the top two of the table, winning the other at Arsenal in January 2017 (2-1). ■■Liverpool have kept five consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League for a second time under their manager Jurgen Klopp, previously doing so in January

2020 (a run of 7). ■■Since making his Liverpool debut in September 2020,

Diogo Jota has scored more headed goals (9) than any other player for a Premier League club in all competitions. ■■Jota has never lost a Premier League game in which he’s scored in (P32 W27 D5 – for Liverpool and Wolves combined). In the competition’s history only James Milner (54), Darius Vassell (46) and Gabriel Jesus (44) have found the net in more matches without ending on the losing side.

■■No player has scored the opening goal in more Premier League games this season than Jota, with Liverpool going on to win all six games in which he’s opened the scoring for them this term.

Fabinho’s late penalty strike meant that he has scored six goals in his last 16 games for Liverpool in all competitions – having scored just four goals in his first 142 appearances for the club.
