Liverpool v Spurs: The key numbers

In the Barclays Premier League era, Liverpool have won 21 and lost 13 of the 45 meetings home and away with Tottenham.

At Anfield during that period, the Reds have won 14 and lost two of the 22 clashes.

Liverpool are looking for their fifth Premier League double over the Londoners and their 14th overall - but it is 23 seasons since they last recorded successive league doubles over tonight's visitors.

Brendan Rodgers' side are looking to record a fifth successive league win over Spurs for the first time since 1976.

129 goals have been scored in all Premier League meetings between the teams. Of all the sides Liverpool have faced in the top flight since 1992-93, only the fixture with Newcastle United (130) has produced more.

The last 14 goals in meetings between the sides have all been scored by the Reds.

Liverpool's next goal will be their 4,000th in all top-flight league games at Anfield.

The Reds have kept nine clean sheets in the league this season - only one fewer than in the whole of the last campaign - and have not conceded a goal in the last 390 minutes of top-flight football. If they prevent Spurs from scoring they will record a fifth successive league clean sheet for the first time since September 2007.

Indeed, Liverpool have conceded three goals in the last nine games in all competitions - two penalties and the other from a free-kick.

Since Christmas, 12 games, they have let in only two goals in the first half of a match.

Tottenham have picked up nine points from the last possible 60 in visits to Anfield.

Spurs have won six away league games this season - at West Ham United, Aston Villa, Hull City, Swansea City, Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion. Only Chelsea, Manchester City and Southampton have won more. In four of those matches they have snatched the win from the 89th minute onwards.

On six occasions in all league games this season, they have scored in the last four minutes to turn a potential draw into a win.
