Ahead of this evening's Barclays Premier League clash with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, here are 14 key facts you should know about the game from club statistician Ged Rea.

On this ground last season, Liverpool came from behind to win 3-1. Simon Mignolet unwittingly scored an own goal before Adam Lallana, Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson sealed the points for the visitors.

The Reds are unbeaten in the last seven league meetings (winning five and drawing twice) since Leicester won 2-0 at home in March 2001. Daniel Sturridge's uncle, Dean Sturridge, was in the Foxes' forward line that day.

They have won two of the last seven visits to Leicester, drawing twice, and have scored in three of those meetings.

Robbie Fowler is the only Liverpool player to score a hat-trick at Leicester, doing so in a 4-1 win in October 2001 - they were his last goals in his first spell with the club. He is one of only four Reds players to score a league hat-trick against tonight's hosts and the only one to achieve the feat away from Anfield.

Henderson could play his 200th game for Liverpool in all competitions and also make his 150th league appearance for the Reds.

Emre Can could play his 50th league game for Liverpool this evening.

Roberto Firmino has scored four goals in his last three league games.

This is the Foxes' 10th season of Premier League football, with their highest final position coming in 1999-2000 when they finished eighth, gaining 55 points. They require nine points from the remaining 15 games to surpass that total.

They are looking to qualify for Europe for the fourth time in their history. The last time they did so was in 2000-01 when they played in the UEFA Cup - a competition won by Liverpool that season. 

Only 11 of the previous 23 teams to top the Premier League on Christmas Day have gone on to win the title, but five of the last six have.

The Foxes have lost just one of the last 16 league games and only twice in 23 games this season - Arsenal being the other victors.

They are unbeaten at home in the last seven league games, with four wins and three draws, while since their defeat at Anfield they have won two and drawn three of five Premier League games.

In their last five league games Leicester have conceded just once - to Aston Villa's Rudy Gestede.

Claudio Ranieri will take charge of a team against the Reds for the 13th time. He has won four and lost five, with three draws. He has previously managed both Chelsea and Valencia against Liverpool.
