Victor Anichebe is not known as a prolific Premier League striker. He has played 190 times in the division, and has only hit the back of the net on 27 occasions.

But the former Everton forward is on the best scoring run of his career, with three league goals in his last two games. Another and he will score in three successive league games for the first time.

And he could, his partnership with Jermain Defoe is flourishing and he has the sort of power that has caused Liverpool untold problems in recent years.
