Stats: Only Hodgson beats Suarez record
Of all the players in history to have played 50 or more games for Liverpool, South Africa-born striker Gordon Hodgson is the only man who has a better goals-to-game ratio than Luis Suarez.
The Reds' current No.7 has netted 12 goals in his last seven games to take his overall tally for the club to 66 in 107.
This means the Uruguayan is the Reds' most prolific post-war goalscorer with a goals-to-game ratio of 0.617.
However, Hodgson, who was born in Johannesburg and signed for the club in 1925, netted 241 in 377 - and thus boasts a marginally better goals-to-game ratio of 0.639.
This fascinating fact is just one of a host of figures which has been provided by club statistician Ged Rea ahead of our clash against Tottenham – scroll down to read more...
Last season at White Hart Lane, Tottenham won 2-1. They raced into a two-goal lead inside 16 minutes through Aaron Lennon and Gareth Bale. Bale then put through his own net on 72 minutes but Spurs hung on for the points.
In the return at Anfield Liverpool won 3-2. After Luis Suarez had netted on 21 minutes Jan Vertonghen scored either side of half-time before Stewart Downing equalised on 66. Steven Gerrard won it from the penalty spot with eight minutes remaining.
The Reds have won five of their 21 Barclays Premier League visits to Tottenham - losing 11 and drawing five.
Liverpool have lost each of their last five league visits, their worst ever run at Tottenham, with four of them being by a 2-1 scoreline.
The Reds last win on this ground came on the final day of the 2007-08 season when they won 2-0 with goals from Fernando Torres and Andriy Voronin.
Only Martin Skrtel, Steven Gerrard and Lucas remain at Anfield from the team that day while only Michael Dawson who played for the hosts could face the Reds today.
Glen Johnson made his Liverpool debut in this fixture on the opening day of the 2009-10 season in a 2-1 defeat.

Martin Skrtel was sent off in this fixture two seasons ago, along with Charlie Adam, in a 4-0 defeat.
Skrtel celebrates his 29th birthday on Sunday while Victor Moses turned 23 three days before this fixture, the same day as Daniel Agger celebrated his 29th birthday.
Kolo Toure scored against Tottenham for Arsenal in April 2007 in a 2-2 draw at White Hart Lane.
Should he be selected, Daniel Agger could captain Liverpool for the first time today.
Liverpool have conceded three goals in each of their last two away games - at Everton and Hull. The last time that sequence was extended to three successive games on the road was in December 1993. The opposition that day, Tottenham.
Only once in the Premier League era have Liverpool recorded a better goal difference after 15 games of a season than they have currently. In 2007-08 it was plus 18, going into this game it is plus 16, the same as it was in 1994-95.
The Reds have scored more goals at this stage of a campaign (15 games) than in any season since 1987-88. They have hit the net 34 times this season compared to 37 in the days of John Barnes, Peter Beardsley and John Aldridge.
They have scored 15 goals more than after the same number of games last season.
Spurs finished fifth in the Premier League last season, one point behind neighbours Arsenal. It was the fourth successive season they had finished in the top five.

They have not kept a clean sheet in the last five league games.
Spurs have taken seven points from a possible nine since their 6-0 defeat at Manchester City last month.
