Liverpool v Luton Town: Pick of the stats
- Published
Here are the key facts and figures before Wednesday's Premier League game between Liverpool and Luton Town.
Liverpool have never lost a home league game against Luton (P14 W8 D6), with this their first such meeting since a 2-1 Reds win in January 1992.
Only four promoted teams have won their first Premier League match against Liverpool at Anfield - Newcastle United (1993-94), Barnsley (1997-98), Watford (1999-00) and Blackpool (2010-11).
Liverpool have lost just one of their past 54 league matches at Anfield (W41 D12), going down 2-1 to Leeds United in October 2022. They are unbeaten in 24 since that defeat (W19 D5).
Luton are unbeaten in three away league games (W1 D2), picking up more points (five) and scoring more goals (eight) in this run than they managed in their first eight away Premier League matches before this (four points, W1 D1 L6, seven goals).
Liverpool's substitutes have been directly involved in 20 goals in the Premier League this season, with Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo each scoring and assisting from the bench last time out against Brentford. Indeed, 20 is the joint most the Reds have registered in a Premier League season, along with 2015-16.
Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in 24 Premier League goals for Liverpool this season (15 goals, nine assists). Should he assist one more goal, he will become just the second player in the competition's history to register both 10 or more goals and assists in five different campaigns, after Wayne Rooney (five).
Carlton Morris has scored in Luton's past two away league games, against Burnley and Newcastle. The player who most recently scored in three successive away Premier League appearances for a promoted side was Aleksandar Mitrovic for Fulham from October 2022 to January 2023.
