Ahead of Jürgen Klopp locking horns with his old friend David Wagner as Liverpool face Huddersfield Town, check out the best of the pre-match stats from club statistician Ged Rea.

The sides last met in December 1999, with Liverpool winning a third-round FA Cup tie in Yorkshire 2-0 thanks to goals from Titi Camara and Dominic Matteo. 

The last league meeting between the teams came at Leeds Road in February 1972, with a Jack Whitham goal earning the Reds a 1-0 victory.

LFC's biggest home wins against Huddersfield came in March 1948 and August 1970, when they were victorious by 4-0 scorelines.

Three Liverpool players have scored hat-tricks against Huddersfield - all in the league: Cyril Done in October 1946, Albert Stubbins in March 1948 and Alan Arnell in December 1956. Only Stubbins' feat came at Anfield.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain played his first ever club game at senior level against Huddersfield in March 2010 - a third-tier match. Coming on as a substitute, he became Southampton's second youngest ever player after Theo Walcott. 

Mohamed Salah has scored five goals in his first nine league games for the Reds. In the Premier League era, only Robbie Fowler has reached five goals in fewer games (eight).

Liverpool have lost one of the last 15 home games in all competitions.

The Reds have scored only once after the 37th minute in the last six league games, while Huddersfield have not recorded a goal after the 46th minute in any of the last eight matches in league and cup. 

Huddersfield will become the 47th different team to face Liverpool in the Premier League and the seventh from Yorkshire following Leeds, Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Bradford City, Barnsley and Hull.

The Terriers lead Liverpool 26-25 in league victories down the years and only Cardiff (16-10) and Manchester United (67-55) have won more than they have lost against the Reds.

Town's last win over Liverpool came at Leeds Road in November 1959 when a Les Massie goal settled a Division Two clash. The hosts included future World Cup winner Ray Wilson and also Denis Law.

Huddersfield have not scored in any of the last five meetings between the teams in all competitions, four of which came in the league. The last goal from a Town player against the Reds came at Anfield in a 1-1 draw in April 1962 and was scored by future England Test match cricketer Chris Balderstone.
