STAT ATTACK: Spurs v Liverpool - Klopp to buck Reds' history and win opener?

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to put their poor Liverpool form behind them as they host the Reds who have only won one of their last nine away games.

Spurs are the only Premier League team not to have lost since the opening weekend (W3 D4).

Liverpool have won five successive league games against Spurs for the first time since 1976; this is the 145th league clash between the sides but neither has ever won six in a row.

The last time Spurs lost six consecutive games against the same PL opponent was against Newcastle United between 2006 and 2008.

Gerard Houllier is the only Liverpool manager to win his first Premier League game in charge at the club (2-1 v Southampton in 1998, he was joint-manager with Roy Evans at the time).

Tottenham’s last five Premier League home defeats have all been by a one goal margin; the last team to win by more at White Hart Lane were Liverpool (3-0 in August 2014).

Since his Premier League debut in Sept 2013, Christian Eriksen has scored more direct free-kicks than any other player (6).

Liverpool have scored exactly once in eight of their last 11 league matches.

Daniel Sturridge scored three times in five PL games against Spurs before moving to Anfield but has failed to net in four appearances against them for the Reds.

The Reds have only won one of their last nine Premier League away games (D4 L4).

Roberto Firmino has had five shots in total in the Premier League and has hit the woodwork twice.
