Opta Stats show that the Liverpool pair lead the rankings when it comes to most assists and on target headers in the Barclays Premier League.
More often than not, statistics make for some interesting reading. Liverpool lead the table when it comes to most efforts that have hit the post this season.
It is a statistic which makes for agonising reading for a number of fans as the Reds cold have been much, much higher in the Barclays Premier League table, had even half of those chances have gone in instead of crashing back off the woodwork.
Another interesting statistic is the fact that, before Liverpool’s match against Wolverhampton Wanderers a few days ago, both the Reds and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952 had scored an equal number of goals, with both sides having scored 25 goals each.
Keeping things to the Red half of Merseyside, another impressive statistic has been the fact that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 have not been beaten at home in the Barclays Premier League all season.
Yet if one was to take a closer look they would also find that a large number of those results have ended in draws with honours even at the end of 90-minutes.
Moving on now to the latest bit of interesting mathematical analysis of the Barclays Premier League season and it seems that Liverpool have an edge when it comes to their goal keeper.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-Reina-c29672 has set up an impressive five goal scoring opportunities in the current season, more than any other goal keeper in the league. Reina has made a reputation for himself over the years for setting Liverpool off on a number of quick counterattacks with his superb distribution from the penalty area.
A surprise in the statistics is how misfiring striker, Andy Carroll currently leads the charts when it comes to the most number of headers on target this season.
The former Newcastle United player who made a big money move on the last day of the 2011 January transfer window has nine efforts on target from the air, which is the highest in the league so far.
It is a wonder then why the Liverpool number nine has not converted as many as his counterparts.
