Liverpool form and stats
Things could have gone better for Liverpool in their Premier League away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
It's the second away game in a row for Liverpool, but there's smiles all around after the 5-0 victory versus Atalanta in the Champions League last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs West Ham United.
As mentioned above, Liverpool was the only team on the pitch versus Atalanta in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task. Goalkeeper Alisson was absolutely vital in the Liverpool victory against Atalanta, making six saves. Diogo Jota certainly enjoyed Liverpool's last game versus Atalanta, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 5-0 victory.
Liverpool are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, zero draws and two defeats. From a total of three matches.
The Liverpool manager J. Klopp has got the team scoring on the road, with 6 away goals in 3 league matches. Liverpool can't defend away. 9 goals have been scored by the opposition in 3 matches, an average of more than three per game.
