Liverpool form and stats

Liverpool's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Liverpool, who have the most points (41) away in Premier League, collect 41 points from their 18 away matches in the Premier League. 13 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 3 defeats).

Liverpool had fun at their own home (St. James' Park) last time out, beating Chelsea 5-3. Naby Keïta, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Georginio Wijnaldum, Roberto Firmino and Trent Alexander-Arnold scored. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Arsenal's place.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Chelsea was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today?

The travelling fans enjoy Liverpool's attacking play in away games, having scored 30 goals in 18 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Liverpool as they have only conceded 16 goals from these away games.
