Can you deserve to lose but also be unlucky to lose at the same time? Stats looking into that, plus Liverpool's set-piece record, and an all-time club record for Federico Chiesa in my round-up of Liverpool's defeat to Crystal Palace. #LFC mreidstats.substack.com/p/crystal-pa...

Liverpool face Crystal Palace this weekend, who are unbeaten in 17 all comps. It's the longest unbeaten run Liverpool have faced in the Premier League since Man City, March 2024 (20). #LFC have only won one of last 9 league games against sides on 17+ game unbeaten runs (D6 L2).

Last night, Giovanni Leoni completed 88 passes - the most by a player on their Liverpool debut since Andy Robertson v Crystal Palace in August 2017 (92). Also won 4/5 duels, and no #LFC player made more interceptions (3) or clearances (6). Horrible news on his injury.

Liverpool have now won 6 consecutive games by exactly one goal - the longest ever run of one-goal wins in the club's entire history. #LFC

Hugo Ekitike is the first Liverpool player to both score and be red carded in the same game at Anfield since Steven Gerrard v Aston Villa in September 2001. #LFC

In Federico Chiesa and Giovanni Leoni, Liverpool have named 2 Italians in the same starting XI for only the third time ever. December 2009 v Fiorentina - Dossena, Aquilani September 2014 v West Ham - Balotelli, Borini 🇮🇹 #LFC

Giorgi Mamardashvili will be the first Georgian player ever to play for Liverpool. Georgia is now the 50th nationality to have a player appear for #LFC. It's the first new nation for the club since Colombia with Luis Díaz in February 2022.

Over their last 29 Premier League games that have come 3 days after a European match, Liverpool are averaging 2.38 pts/game. For context, they won the title last season with 2.21 pts/game. More stats like that in my review of Saturday's Merseyside derby. mreidstats.substack.com/p/everton-h-...

David Moyes has still never won at Anfield in 23 attempts (D7 L16). It's the joint-longest ever winless run by a visiting manager at Anfield v Liverpool, along with Bobby Robson from 1968 to 2004 and Brian Clough from 1971 to 1993.

Aged 23 years and 127 days, Ryan Gravenberch is the youngest Liverpool player to both scored and assist a goal in the same game v Everton since David Burrows in August 1991 (22y 310d). #LFC

How do you even begin to analyse or explain #LFC scoring five late winners in five games? Well, I make absolutely no attempt to. Instead, enjoy a plethora of stats from last night's win over Atlético in my free round-up - and vote on your fav winner! mreidstats.substack.com/p/atletico-m...

Fantastic question. In Andy Robertson (31), Mo Salah (33), and Virgil van Dijk (34), Liverpool last night had 3 different scorers aged 30+ in a single match for just the fourth time ever, and first since December 1993 v QPR - Ian Rush (32), Jan Mølby (30), and John Barnes (30).

That's 5 consecutive wins for Liverpool where the winner came in the 83rd min or later. That's as many 83+ winners as #LFC had in the whole of last season.

Aged 17 years and 19 days, Rio Ngumoha is the youngest player ever to play in European competition for Liverpool, taking Trey Nyoni's record (17y 213d) set v PSV last season. #LFC

Both Alexis Mac Allister & Dominik Szoboszlai have made their 100th appearances for Liverpool in all competitions tonight. It's the first time 2 players have hit 100 games for #LFC in the same match since Oct 2009 v Sunderland, when 3 players did (Benayoun, Babel, Mascherano).

Mo Salah is the first Liverpool player to both score and assist a goal in the opening 6 minutes of any match since Steve McManaman v Aston Villa in March 1996. #LFC

Four Dutch players in Liverpool's starting XI tonight - Gakpo, Frimpong, Gravenberch, van Dijk. It's the first time #LFC have named 4 starters from the same non-English country in a starting XI since May 2009 v Newcastle - Reina, Arbeloa, Alonso, Riera all Spaniards.

All-time most European Cup/Champions League appearances for #LFC: 80 - Jamie Carragher ⬆️74 - Mo Salah 73 - Steven Gerrard ⬆️60 - Andy Robertson 60 - Trent Alexander-Arnold 58 - John Arne Riise 57 - Phil Neal 57 - Roberto Firmino 55 - Sadio Mané 54 - Jordan Henderson

Another game, another late winner for Liverpool. All the numbers behind Sunday's trip to Turf Moor - with plenty of love for Mo Salah - in my round-up of the game. #LFC mreidstats.substack.com/p/burnley-a-...

Mo Salah now has 109 goals in away games for Liverpool in all competitions - moving level with Roger Hunt. Only Ian Rush (148) has more away goals in #LFC's history.

Liverpool's final, confirmed Premier League squad situation for 2025-26. #LFC

Fantastic to chat to my friend across the pond @crunkchocolate.bsky.social about Liverpool. I should say this was recorded before Isak's signing, but we had a great chat about the summer transfer window and the season to come.

Liverpool's 8 league goals this season have been scored by 7 players (Ekitike, Gakpo, Chiesa, Salah, Gravenberch, Ngumoha, Szoboszlai) - the joint-most scorers ever in the club's first 3 matches of a top-flight season, along with 1993-94 (Clough, Rush, Nicol, Ruddock, McManaman, Whelan, Marsh). #LFC

Three wins from three, one of Szoboszlai's best displays in Red, and a club scoring record. All detailed in my stats round up of Sunday's win over Arsenal. mreidstats.substack.com/p/arsenal-h-...

Dominik Szoboszlai is only the third Liverpool player to score a direct free-kick winner in a 1-0 Premier League win, after Danny Murphy v Man Utd in December 2000 and Xabi Alonso v Sunderland in August 2005. #LFC

Not sure my heart can take many more games like last night - but at least it threw up some good stats! Ekitike's start, late winners, Ngumoha's records, when did Liverpool last concede 2 despite being a player up? All in my stats round-up. mreidstats.substack.com/p/newcastle-...

Mo Salah (33) assisting Rio Ngumoha (16) last night was the biggest ever age gap between a scorer and assister for a #LFC goal in the Premier League - 16 years and 75 days between them. It overtakes Gary McAllister assisting Steven Gerrard twice from 2000 to 2001 (15y 157d).

Youngest players to score on league debut for #LFC: Rio Ngumoha - 16y 361d Michael Owen - 17y 143d Jimmy Melia - 18y 46d Jamie Redknapp - 18y 165d Phil Taylor - 18y 192d

Youngest scorers in #LFC history: Rio Ngumoha - 16y 361d Ben Woodburn - 17y 45d Kaide Gordon - 17y 96d Michael Owen - 17y 143d Jordan Rossiter - 17y 183d

Hugo Ekitike is the 10th player to score in each of his first three appearances for Liverpool, and only the second to do so in the last 50 years, after Daniel Sturridge in January 2013. #LFC

Liverpool have had 9 fouls given against them in the first 25 mins v Newcastle here. That's the most they have ever conceded in the opening 25 mins of a Premier League match on Opta's records. #LFC

On Friday v Bournemouth, Virgil van Dijk made 17 clearances and won 13 duels - the first player with numbers that high in both metrics in a single Premier League game for over 5 years. He also had a game-high 100 touches and made 17 line-breaking passes. Colossus.

All-time most MD1 league goals for #LFC: Mo Salah - 10 Billy Liddell - 6 Ian Rush - 6 Tony Rowley - 5 Michael Owen - 5

Alisson Becker is the 66th player to reach 300 appearances for #LFC, and 7th GK, after Elisha Scott, Arthur Riley, Tommy Lawrence, Ray Clemence, Bruce Grobbelaar, and Pepe Reina.

In Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong, this is the first time two players have scored on their #LFC debut in the same game since August 2006 - Craig Bellamy and Mark González v Maccabi Haifa.

4 players are making their #LFC debut v Crystal Palace (Frimpong, Kerkez, Wirtz, Ekitike), Liverpool's most debutants in a single game since Feb 2020 v Shrewsbury (5), and most in the first game of a new season since 2015-16 v Stoke (5 - Clyne, Gomez, Milner, Benteke, Firmino).

With all the talk of more transfer business for Liverpool, a reminder of the current squad makeup. Remains a one out, one in situation for non-homegrown senior players. #LFC

I will miss him.

Hugo Ekitike is set to be the 5th player with a palindrome surname to play for Liverpool, after Andrew Hannah, David Hannah, Ozan Kabak, and Sheyi Ojo. #LFC

He wore #20 when Liverpool won #20. A tribute to Diogo Jota. Thank you, Diogo - you'll never walk alone. mreidstats.substack.com/p/a-tribute-...

After the arrival of Florian Wirtz, here's Liverpool's current Premier League squad situation next season. #LFC have now exceeded the number of non-homegrown players allowed in a squad, so one must leave, then it's a one in, one out scenario for the rest of this transfer window.

Only two players scored 10+ and assisted 10+ goals in both 2023-24 and 2024-25 in Europe's big-five leagues. Mo Salah Florian Wirtz Teammates.

Despite only playing 67 times for Liverpool in all competitions, Caoimhín Kelleher has won more penalty shootouts (4) and saved more penalties in shootouts (6) than any other goalkeeper in the club's entire history. Farewell Kweev! #LFC

Caoimhín Kelleher has the highest win rate of any goalkeeper to make 50+ apps for #LFC in all comps in the club's history: C Kelleher - 65.7% Alisson - 65.4% N Doig - 64.2% B Grobbelaar - 57.6% S Westerveld - 56.3% B Slater - 55.5% R Clemence - 54.7% P Reina - 53.3%

Mohamed Salah, ladies and gentlemen. 👑🏆

Mo Salah is only the second player in Liverpool's history to finish at the club's top scorer in 8 consecutive seasons (2017-18 to 2024-25), after Roger Hunt from 1961-62 to 1968-69. #LFC
