Liverpool are without goalkeeper Alisson for Saturday's match against AFC Bournemouth, with the Brazilian absent from the squad due to a muscle injury.
It is a blow for the Reds as Alisson has conceded only two goals in five games so far this season in all competitions, keeping three clean sheets. Only Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya boasts a better record, conceding only once over the same number of matches.
So how do Liverpool usually fare when they are without Alisson?
Surprisingly, Liverpool have actually fared BETTER without Alisson since he joined the Reds in 2018.
Liverpool's win percentage when he doesn't start climbs from 66.3 per cent to almost 75 per cent.
