Liverpool are the Premier League’s best performers in Halloween weekends… but it’s scarily bad news for Tottenham fans

Since the start of the Prem era, the Reds have bagged 56 league points at this time of year, with Spurs second-WORST

LIVERPOOL are the Premier League's best performers in Halloween weekends... but it's bad news for Tottenham fans.

In the past 25 years, no team has performed better than Jurgen Klopp's Reds - who have amassed 56 points since the 1992-93 season around All Hallows' Eve.

Another good omen for Liverpool is the fact they top the charts in number of wins against current Prem opposition in Halloween weekends, with 11, according to stats from LeoVegas Sport.

The Reds go up against Huddersfield at Anfield on Saturday - with the Terriers down on 34 Football League points since 1992.

Leicester are another surprising Halloween over-performer, with the second-best points tally (49) and third-highest win total (eight).

Chelsea and Manchester United also perform well at the end of October - ranking in the top four for both points and wins over Halloween weekend.

But it's double the treat for United this weekend... as they take on the scarily poor Tottenham.

Spurs have won just five and picked up just 25 points around Halloween weekends, ranking SECOND-BOTTOM of the Premier League's current 20 clubs.

Only Bournemouth - who take on Chelsea - have a worse record at the end of October than Tottenham, with zero wins against Prem opponents and just 23 league points.

Meanwhile, this weekend could be the nail in the coffin for West Ham boss Slaven Bilic.

The Hammers rank third-bottom in the points table, with just 27 - and go up against fellow London struggles Crystal Palace.

A loss against Roy Hodgson's demoralised squad could be a real Halloween trick for Bilic.

However, the Eagles themselves rank in the lower echelon of both the wins and points charts.
