Key stats between Liverpool and Tottenham before the Premier League clash | Football News

Watch Liverpool vs Tottenham live on Sky Sports Premier League from 4:15 pm on Sunday

The Premier League comes back this weekend and we have selected the vital statistics in front of Liverpool vs Tottenham on Super Sunday…

Jurgen Klopp's men lead Manchester City by two points – but played a game more than the current champions.

Liverpool 's only defeat in the season this season came in Manchester City in January.

But at home, they are unbeaten in their last 16 games against the "big six" – with their last home defeat against Manchester United in January 2016.

This season, the Reds have taken 13 points in eight games against the top six. Only Manchester City has collected more.

However, Tottenham has the second record in six games and has lost the most games against these teams during this campaign.

However, Mauricio Pochettino's players have won two of their last four Premier League away games against the top six, having won two of their 28 previous matches on the road against these teams.

Liverpool are undefeated in their last 36 Premier League home games. This is his longest unbeaten run at Anfield since his record-breaking 63 undefeated league games between 1978 and 1980.

Liverpool's last home defeat was against Crystal Palace, who had lost 2 to 1 until April 2017. Since then, they have won 26 wins and 10 draws in their 36 Premier League home games.

The Klopp men have in fact won 10 of their last 11 home games, losing only points in a 1-1 draw against Leicester in January.

The Reds have only taken 80 minutes out of a total of 3,240 possible since losing to Palace in April 2017. They have however lagged behind in three of their last six league games at Anfield, but they have rebounded to win all three.

While Mohamed Salah has struggled for goals in recent weeks, the same can not be said for Sadio Mane, who has 11 goals in his last 11 appearances in all competitions – finding the net in six league games successive home.

His goal at Fulham in the last game before the international break was his 20th goal in all competitions, which equates to his best season at Anfield.

In total, 11 of Mane's 20 goals this season were in 2019, seven more than his teammates Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.

The only Premier League player to have scored more goals in all competitions during this calendar year is Sergio Aguero of Manchester City, with 15 so far.

Harry Kane scored 24 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions, after missing seven games due to an ankle injury.

The English striker has also become the first player in Tottenham history to score 20 goals or more in five consecutive seasons and is expected to play his 250th Spurs at Anfield on Sunday.

Only Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Smith have scored more goals than the current English captain in their first 250 appearances for the club.

Kane currently has 164 goals in the Premier League, 49 more than Tottenham's next best, Teddy Sheringham.

Tottenham will need Kane and his teammates to be at their best if they want to end their run of four consecutive games without a Premier League win.

Defeats outside Burnley, Chelsea and Southampton, as well as a draw at home against Arsenal, put an end to their title challenge and led them into the top four.

Only Fulham and Burnley, threatened with relegation, have taken fewer points in the last four games, while only Cardiff, Neil Warnock, scored fewer goals.

Their usual, rock-solid defense has also seemed fragile in recent weeks – making the most mistakes leading to the goal, while Hugo Lloris has spared only 46% of the shots lost since winning Leicester in February.

So, Super Sunday starts in Wales this week as Warnock players continue their fight for survival, welcoming Chelsea to the Cardiff City Stadium from 1:15 pm.

Then Liverpool faces Tottenham, live from Anfield, from 4:15 pm. Both games are available on Sky Sports Premier League.
