Ahead of Liverpool's clash with Bournemouth today, brush up on a dozen facts and figures about the game and the history between the two teams courtesy of club statistician Ged Rea.

This will be the ninth meeting of the clubs in all competitions – the Reds have won six and drawn the other two, scoring 16 and conceding four.

The only goalless draw between the teams occurred at Dean Court in 1927 in an FA Cup tie.

Sheyi Ojo made his league debut in professional football against Bournemouth as a Wigan Athletic substitute in February 2015. The Cherries won 3-1 on their way to promotion.

Liverpool have won seven times away from home this season in the top flight, picking up 24 points, the same tally they have earned at Anfield.

Only Leicester City (11), Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal (eight each) have won more away league games than the Reds so far this season.

Liverpool's last three league matches on the road have produced 14 goals, with the Reds scoring 10 of them.

The only player to have scored a hat-trick against Bournemouth is Harry Chambers, who netted three in an FA Cup victory in January 1927.

Bournemouth have won five and lost seven of their 16 home games in their first season in the Premier League. They have beaten Sunderland, Manchester United, Norwich City, Southampton and Swansea City.

After winning three games in a row last month, Bournemouth have lost two of their last three – going down 3-0 at Tottenham and losing 4-0 at home to Manchester City before winning 2-1 at Aston Villa last weekend.

Simon Francis and Andrew Surman have started every league game for the Cherries during the campaign.

Bournemouth have conceded 27 goals at home in the top flight – ahead of this weekend's fixtures, only Everton and Aston Villa had let in more.

Sylvain Distin has played against Liverpool 27 times during his career and scored his only goal against the Reds in a 2-2 Anfield draw in January 2011 while with Everton.
