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.

Luton have played away at Liverpool without ever winning more often than any other opponent in their professional league history (14), while Liverpool have only faced Grimsby Town (18) at home in the league more without ever losing than the Hatters.

Only four promoted teams have ever won their first ever 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 last 54 Premier League games at Anfield (W41 D12), going down 1-2 to Jesse Marsch’s Leeds side in October 2022. They are unbeaten in 24 home league games since that defeat to Leeds (W19 D5).

Luton are unbeaten in three away league games (W1 D2), picking up more points (5) and scoring more goals (8) in this run than they managed in their first eight away Premier League matches before this (4 pts, W1 D1 L6; 7 goals).

Liverpool have won each of their last 11 Premier League games played on a Wednesday since a 0-1 defeat to Brighton at Anfield in February 2021. At home, the Reds have only lost two of their last 50 matches in the competition on this day of the week (W35 D13).

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, 9 assists) – should he assist one more goal this term, he will become just the second player in the competition’s history to register 10+ goals and 10+ assists in five different campaigns, after Wayne Rooney (5).

Liverpool’s Luis Díaz has scored in both of his last two Premier League appearances at Anfield, while against newly promoted sides home and away in the competition, he’s been directly involved in six goals in nine appearances (5 goals, 1 assist).

Carlton Morris has scored in both of Luton’s last two away league games against Burnley and Newcastle. The last player to score in three successive away Premier League appearances for a promoted side was Aleksandar Mitrovic for Fulham from October 2022 to January 2023.
