The Reds have proven unstoppable at home over the past three years in England’s top-flight
Liverpool have set a new club record for their longest unbeaten run at home after beating Leicester City 3-0 at Anfield on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp’s side took the lead after a 21st-minute own goal from Jonny Evans, with Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino also finding the back of the net for the Reds.
That win means Liverpool have now gone 64 Premier League games without defeat at home – eclipsing their previous record run which was set in December 1980.
