Now Suarez eyes Balmer's record…
Luis Suarez could end the year with yet another Liverpool record under his belt if he can find the back of the net when the Reds lock horns with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge today.
The Uruguayan requires one goal to become the first player to net 20 times in a top-flight campaign before the New Year since Jack Balmer did so in 1946-47.
Roger Hunt managed an impressive 23 in 1961-62; however, his goals came in the old second division.
This fact is just one of a host of figures which has been provided by club statistician Ged Rea ahead of our clash against Chelsea - scroll down to read more...
Last season, Chelsea and Liverpool drew 1-1 at Stamford Bridge with Luis Suarez, 17 minutes from time, cancelling out John Terry's first-half goal. It was Terry's first against Liverpool in 33 appearances.
In the return at Anfield, Chelsea led twice. Oscar gave the visitors the lead following a corner but substitute Daniel Sturridge restored parity seven minutes into the second half. The visitors then retook the lead shortly after through an Eden Hazard penalty before a Luis Suarez header seven minutes into stoppage time gained the Reds a point.
