Jarrod Bowen has played in each of West Ham United's last 78 Premier League matches. Named in the starting line-up against Liverpool, he will surpass Steve Potts (April 1994-March 1996) as the player to appear in the most consecutive Premier League matches for the Hammers.
Liverpool (12) and West Ham (nine) have scored more goals from corners than any other Premier League side this season. Between them, meanwhile, just five of their 54 goals conceded this term have come from corners (3/20 for Liverpool and 2/34 for West Ham).
West Ham are looking to complete the Premier League double over Liverpool for only the second time, previously doing so in 2015/16. Their 3-2 victory in this season's reverse fixture was their first league win against the Reds since that campaign (D2 L8 in between).
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has scored nine goals in his nine Premier League matches against West Ham, scoring once in all four of his meetings with them at Anfield. Against no side has he scored more goals in the competition (also nine v Watford), and he could become the second African player to net 10 Premier League goals against an opponent, after Sadio Mane against Crystal Palace (13).
West Ham’s Pablo Fornals has scored in each of his last two Premier League away matches against Liverpool. Only two visiting players have ever scored in three consecutive Premier League appearances at Anfield – Andrew Cole (1999-2002) and Christian Benteke (2012-2017).

The Scout's FPL tips
- Despite having only one match in GW28, Mohamed Salah (£13.2m) is the most-bought player, earning 271,000 new owners. The Egyptian has produced two of his nine double-figure hauls this season in his last two appearances at Anfield.
- Jarrow Bowen (£7.1m) is the second top-scoring midfielder in Fantasy and third overall on 152 points. The West Ham winger has one goal and five assists in his last four away matches, totalling 34 points and blanking just once in that period.
