Just as few tennis players can claim to genuinely have Novak Djokovic’s number, it is fair to say that no team has enjoyed an especially brilliant record at Anfield over the years.
West Ham’s, though, is notably bad. Since the start of the 2000 season, no team has lost at the ground more often than the Hammers, who have left empty handed on 17 of their 22 visits.
