Liverpool head for Fulham on Sunday just two goals short of recording their highest tally of away goals scored in the Premier League.

They currently have 35, one fewer than their total in 2008-09. If they hit the net twice it will be their best away haul since 1989-90 when they scored 40. Last season they scored 23.

Here are more facts and figures from club statto Ged Rea...


Earlier this season Liverpool beat Fulham 4-0 at Anfield in the last game before Christmas. Martin Skrtel and Steven Gerrard scored in the first half with Stewart Downing and Luis Suarez adding to the tally after the break.

It was Downing's first league goal for the Reds - in his 45th game.


The last draw on this ground was in December 1967 when Tony Hateley scored in a 1-1 stalemate.

In this fixture at Craven Cottage last season Liverpool had Jay Spearing sent off on 72 minutes in a 1-0 defeat. Clint Dempsey scored the winner five minutes from time.

The Reds' biggest league victory at Fulham came in May 2011 when Maxi scored a hat-trick in a 5-2 win with Dirk Kuyt and Luis Suarez netting the others.


Prior to Maxi the only Liverpool player to score a league hat-trick against Fulham was Billy Liddell in September 1954 at Anfield.

Liverpool have won three and lost two of the last five league visits.

Jamie Carragher, with 19, has made more appearances for Liverpool against Fulham than any other player in the Reds' history. He has scored once - in a 4-0 win in December 2006.

If he plays on Sunday Carra will move ahead of the Fulham legend Johnny Haynes in playing in most fixtures between the clubs.

He was sent off on this ground in 2009 (along with Philipp Degen). All three of Carra's dismissals in a Liverpool shirt have come in London.

The Reds picked up 25 points away from home last season - the same as this going into the final game on the road.

Liverpool have lost five away from home this season - only Manchester United (two), Manchester City and Arsenal (four each) have been beaten fewer times on the road.

Martin Skrtel's last goal for the Reds came against Fulham last December.


Pepe Reina has kept four clean sheets in Liverpool's last five games.

Fulham have scored 18 goals in 23 Premier League meetings with Liverpool with 15 of those coming at Craven Cottage.

The Cottagers have won seven and lost eight of their 18 home games so far this season.

Fulham were in the top four in September after winning three of their opening five games but have since won seven of the last 31.


John Arne Riise played 348 times for Liverpool scoring 31 goals, though he never managed to score against Fulham in 11 appearances.

Fulham have conceded more goals at home in the top-flight than any of the top 16 teams. Only Newcastle (30), Reading (31) and Wigan (34) have conceded more.

They have taken just one point from a last possible 18 (1-1 against Aston Villa last month) and have lost each of the last four with three of those coming at home to Chelsea, Arsenal and Reading).

They could suffer a fourth successive home league defeat for the first time since November 1993 when they were relegated from the third tier.

They have not kept a clean sheet in the last seven league games since winning 1-0 at Tottenham in March.

Bryan Ruiz is the only Fulham player to score in the last six games. He netted both in the defeat to Reading on this ground eight days ago.

Dimitar Berbatov is the Cottagers' leading scorer with 13 league goals but he has not scored in the last six.
