Let’s not beat around the bush – the chances of us winning today are extremely slim.

We haven’t won there in 42 attempts over 52 years and the last goal we actually scored there was nine years ago when Bobby Zamora netted in a 2-1 win. Martin Skrtel did score for us since then in 2013, but we’re pretty sure he didn’t mean to.

Anyway, regardless of our atrocious record at Anfield and our current form, if you’re thinking of putting a bet on the game this afternoon then make sure you consider the stats below, courtesy of our friends at KickOff.co.uk.

1. After going 12 Premier League away games with a win, the last West Ham game on the road saw them beat Arsenal 2-0 on the opening day of the season.
