This will be the first league meeting between the two teams since a top-flight clash in February 1972 in which Liverpool ran out 1-0 winners, with Jack Whitham netting the winner.
 
Huddersfield are winless in all competitions versus Liverpool in their last 10 matches (D3 L7), a run stretching back to 1960.
 
Liverpool have lost only one of their last 42 Premier League home games against newly-promoted sides, losing 1-2 vs Blackpool in October 2010 (W32 D9 L1) and are unbeaten in each of the last 19.
 
Only three newly promoted sides have previously defeated both Liverpool and Manchester United in the same Premier League season; Bolton Wanderers in 2001-02, Manchester City in 2002-03 and Portsmouth in 2003-04 – Huddersfield could become the first side to do within the same month.
 
Liverpool have allowed their opponents to score from 20% of their total shots in the Premier League this season (16 of 79); more than any other team.
 
The average xG per shot that Liverpool have afforded their opponents this season is 0.15 (on average these shots should be scored 15% of the time) – this is the highest in the Premier League so far in 2017-18.
