Opta Stats: Liverpool v Swansea

17Feb 2013

England - Premier League

Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool side face his former team Swansea in Sunday's only Premier League clash. Opta have all the stats.

Liverpool have not scored against Swansea City since they were promoted to the Barclays Premier League last season; drawing blanks in all three previous league meetings (D2 L1). You can find odds of 6.6 that Swansea will keep another clean sheet.

Luis Suarez did score in the last clash between the two at Anfield (in the Capital One Cup); however, Swansea ran out 3-1 winners. A repeat of that 3-1 scoreline for Swansea can be backed at 60.0.

Liverpool have won five of their last seven home games in the league; losing the other two. The Reds are 1.64 to win again.

Liverpool are yet to enjoy a victory over a side in the top half of the division this season (D7 L7). A Swansea win is available at 6.0.

Swansea have won just one of their last six league matches on the road (D3 L2). The draw can be backed at 4.2.

Only Swansea City (92%; 35 of 38) and Newcastle (82%; 28 of 34) have scored a higher proportion of their goals from open play than Liverpool this season (77%; 34 of 44). The Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is 1.95 to score a goal.

Swansea have dropped a league low two points from leading positions this season; having gone on to win nine of the 10 games they have taken the lead in this season. The Swansea half-time/Swansea full-time double result is priced at 11.5.

No side has conceded fewer goals in the opening 30 minutes of matches this season than Swansea City (five; level with Stoke City and Tottenham Hotspur). Liverpool are 2.0 to be leading the game at half-time.

Liverpool have benefitted from four own goals scored by their opponents this season; more than any other team in the top-flight. Own goals do not count in the To Score market, where Luis Suarez is the favourite at 1.75.

Liverpool are the first team in Europe's top five leagues to hit 500 shots this season (503). Over 2.5 goals can be backed at 1.82.
